ATRA (0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 mM) and FK228 (1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 nM) were given at a fixed ratio either 24 hours prior to DOX (8.5, 17.0, and 34.0 nM) treatment, simultaneously with DOX, or 24 hours after initiation of DOX treatment. Total time of DOX exposure was 72 hours in all experiments. Effects on cytotoxicity were determined by annexin V flow cytometry and by cell counts using trypan blue exclusion test. Numbers represent CI values obtained at the ED50, ED75, and ED90. ED50 indicates 50% effective dose.
