Abstract excerpt
Retinoids induce granulocytic differentiation and subsequent apoptosis in human myeloid (HL-60) leukemia cells. Differentiation is induced due to activation of retinoic acid receptors (RARs) whereas, activation of retinoid X receptors (RXRs) seems to be essential for driving these cells into apoptosis. In order to understand the mechanism of RXR induced apoptosis, we used a variant HL-60 cell line (HL-60R) with a...
