Polyamine levels were evaluated in human HL-60 promyelocytic leukemia cells after treatment with inducers of terminal differentiation. Differentiation in these cells was determined by increases in the percentage of morphologically mature cells and in lysozyme activity. Treatment of the HL-60 cells
Phorbol diester tumor promoters and the promoter mezerein convert human promyelocytic leukemia cells in culture into adherent, nonproliferating cells with many of the characteristics of macrophages. Other types of promoters such as anthralin, phenobarbital, and saccharin do not have this effect.
Anthraquinones and structurally related compounds were cytotoxic to mammalian cell lines using cloning efficiency and MTT reduction as endpoints. In V79 cells, the concentration of chemical causing 50% inhibition ranged from 0.21 to 21.6 mug/ml for cloning efficiency and from 0.86 to 14.6 mug/ml for
