Abstract
In the original HL-60 cells (HL-60-S) and an HL-60 subline (HL-60-R) respectively susceptible and resistant to induction of differentiation by retinoic acid or dimethyl sulfoxide, 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine inhibited growth equally but induced differentiation to a greater extent in HL-60-S. Flow cytometry showed that 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine produced in both HL-60 lines an increased proportion of cells in G2+M rather than G0/Gl as with retinoic acid. 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine may have a differentiation-inducing effect in HL-60 provided cells have the competence to differentiate, indicating the importance of an alternate mechanism of action.
