  • Title: Evaluation of differentiation-inducing activity of retinoids on human leukemia cell lines HL-60 and NB4.
    Author: Hashimoto Y, Kagechika H, Kawachi E, Fukasawa H, Saito G, Shudo K.
    Journal: Biol Pharm Bull; 1996 Oct; 19(10):1322-8. PubMed ID: 8913505.
    Abstract:
    Retinoids, including all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), its isomers, and fifty synthetic retinoids (retinobenzoic acids), were tested for differentiation-inducing activity on human leukemia cell lines HL-60 and NB4. Binding activity of typical retinoids to nuclear retinoic acid receptors (RARs) was also investigated. A good linear correlation between the ED50 values of differentiation-inducing activity towards HL-60 cells and those towards NB4 cells was found. Binding activities of retinoids to RAR alpha and RAR beta also correlated well to the differentiation-inducing activities.
