[Study on 515 anti-tumor recipe in inducing leukemic HL-60 cells apoptosis]
Objective:
To observe the efficacy of 515 anti-tumor recipe on inducing human myeloid leukemic HL-60 cells apoptosis.
Methods:
The morphological change of apoptotic cells was observed by light microscopy and transmission electromicroscopy (TEM), and flow cytometry and TUNEL reaction to further confirm the apoptosis of HL-60 cells.
Results:
Typical apoptosis appeared such as marginal nuclei, chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation could be seen by light microscopy and TEM. The drug concentration was between 0.013-0.04 g/ml. The apoptosis rate is 30% in 0.04 g/ml group at the 72nd hour, but it was only 0.8% in the control group at the same time (P < 0.01).
Conclusions:
The 515 anti-tumor recipe can induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells. The apoptosis rate increased as the time extended. There was an enhanced efficiency of apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner.
