HL-60/Bcr-Abl and K562 cells were exposed to 0.25 μmol/L CGP57148B (CGP) and/or Ara-C (5 μmol/L) or doxorubicin (Dox) (0.25 μmol/L) for 48 hours. Following this, cells were harvested and percent apoptotic cells was determined by morphology and annexin V or PI staining followed by flow cytometry. Values represent mean ± SEM of 3 separate experiments.

ND indicates not done due to technical difficulties caused by doxorubicin fluorescence.

*

Values are significantly different from those cells treated with Ara-C or Dox alone (P < .05).
