  • Title: Induction of sister-chromatid exchanges and cell-cycle delays in human lymphocytes by vitamin A alone or in combination with melphalan and caffeine.

    Journal: Eur J Cancer Clin Oncol; 1985 Sep; 21(9):1089-92. PubMed ID: 4065180.
    Abstract:
    In cultured human lymphocytes vitamin A was found to increase SCE rates, to reduce the mitotic index and to have no effect on cell kinetics. Vitamin A induces cytotoxic effects: in combination with melphalan (MELPH), as can be deduced from the resulted synergism on induction of SCEs, the produced cell division delay and the suppressed mitotic index; in combination with caffeine (CAF), producing synergism on induction of SCEs and suppressing the mitotic index; and in combination with MELPH and CAF, producing cell-cycle delays and reducing the mitotic index.
