Abstract
The treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia includes the use of alkylating agents, steroids, and more recently nucleoside analogues. While prior studies have described potential mechanisms of 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine cytotoxicity including the accumulation of DNA strand breaks and induction of apoptosis or programmed cell death, the expression of p53 and its downstream target WAF1/CIP1 have not been examined. In this report we describe the induction of p53 and WAF1/CIP1 in the apoptotic chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells after exposure to 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine.Entities:
