Acute myeloid leukaemia and retinoids

Article Abstract:

The treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a group of malignancies of theprecursor cells of various types of leukocytes, with retinoids is reviewed. Thepossible use of all-trans-retinoic acid and 13-cis-retinoic acid in AML was revealed when physiologic concentrations of the vitamin A forms induced terminal diferentiation of an in vitro myeloblastic cell line, HL-60, into morphologically and functionally normal blood granulocytes. Furthermore, proliferation of these luekemic cells was halted with the use of retinoic acid.
