Abstract excerpt
The application of glucocorticoids (GC3) in human leukemia is based on apoptosis induction but is often hampered by GC resistance. To delineate resistance mechanisms, we examined 5 GC-resistant leukemic cell lines, termed CEM-C7.R1-R5, isolated from the GC-sensitive human acute-T-cell-leukemic line, CCRF-CEM-C7, by selection in GC-containing medium. GC resistance was ascertained by analyzing cell-cycle...
