title: [Inhibitory effects of several antitumor drugs on the growth of HL-60 cells in SRC of mice].
abstract: Human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells provide a useful model system for the study of cell differentiation in vitro. Here the growth of HL-60 cells as a solid clot with fibrin in subrenal capsules (SRC) of mice was studied. The cell volume of HL-60 cells increased 5 and 15-fold between 6-9 days after transplantation into normal and CYT immunosuppressed mice, respectively. Histological study revealed typical proliferation and invasion characteristics of HL-60 cells and higher tumor cell density. RA, RII, Ara-C, Harringtonine and HMBA significantly inhibited the growth of HL-60 cells in SRC of mice. This model provides a useful system for the study of the effect of drugs on cultured tumor cells or leukemia cell lines in vivo.
