Abstract
The myeloid leukemic cell line HL-60 was studied by using DNA gel electrophoresis, flow cytomery, McAb C-myc, McAb Bcl-2 and CFU-L. From zero to 36 h, the apoptosis rates of 8 different phases and other indexes were observed. The results showed that with the prolonged time of drug incubation, apoptosis of HL-60 cells increased progressively. This effect can be enhanced obviously by rh-IL-3 and rh-GM-CSF. At the same time, the killed rate of leukemic cells by Ara-C induction was increased. C-myc expression was decreased and Bcl-2 expression did not display apparent change. Interestingly, the normal hemopoietic cells were not affected by these two kinds of cytokine. The theoretical basis was provided for concurrent use of rh-IL-3, rh-GM-CSF and cytotoxic drugs whose purpose is to elevate remission rate during the phase of induced remission of leukemia.Entities:
