Growth inhibition of NB4, HL60, U937, and KG-1 cell lines after As2O3 or melarsoprol treatment. Various concentrations of As2O3 and melarsoprol were added to the media (Materials and Methods): Controls (○), 10−5 mol/L (▵), 10−6 mol/L (□), and 10−7 mol/L (•). As2O3 at a concentration of 10−4 mol/L (⊞) was also used. Representative results from one of three independent experiments are shown as the mean ± SD of triplicates. Inhibition of cell growth and loss of viability are comparable in four different cell lines in which PML-RAR fusion protein is or is not present.
