NB4 cells (2 × 105 cells/mL) were treated with STI571 (5 × 10−6 M), ATRA (10−7 M), or the combination of the two compounds for 2 days. RNA was isolated, reverse transcribed in the presence of 32P dATP, and used as a probe to hybridize complementary DNA microarrays on nylon membranes. Results are the mean ± SD of 2 replicate spots and are expressed in arbitrary units following densitometric analysis of the microarray image. The notation < 50 indicates spots with a signal equivalent to the background. Genes were subdivided into 5 groups according to the criteria defined in the text.

At the time of harvesting, the following parameters were measured in parallel cultures (mean ± SD of 3 culture flasks): No. cells (× 1000); control, 460 ± 10; STI571, 421 ± 11; ATRA, 350 ± 8; STI571 ± ATRA, 290 ± 8; viability (%): control, 87 ± 1; STI571, 84 ± 1; ATRA, 84 ± 2; STI571 + ATRA, 80 ± 1; NBT-reducing activity O.D. (540 nm): control, 0.215; STI571, 0.210; ATRA, 0.410; STI571 + ATRA, 0.920.

ATRA indicates all-trans-retinoic acid; MCP-1, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 precursor; MRP, migration-inhibitory factor-related protein; CRF receptor 1, corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 precursor; IRF-1, interferon regulatory factor 1; BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; IL, interleukin; GM-CSF, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor; IFNγ, interferon γ; Ephrin B rec.1, ephrin type-B receptor 1 precursor; IGF bp 3, insulinlike growth factor binding protein 3; TKT precursor, neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor-related 3; MIF, migration-inhibitory factor; NGF, neurotrophic growth factor; HBNF 1, heparin-binding neurite outgrowth promoting factor 1; TNFα, tumor necrosis factor α.
