title: Dose dependent biological effects of idarubicin in HL-60 cells: alterations of the cell-cycle and apoptosis.
abstract: TP-53 deficient cells of human leukaemia HL-60 die by massive apoptosis after treatment by high (50-100 nmol/l) doses of DNA damaging agent Idarubicin, regardless of the cell-cycle phase, in which they are affected. In contrary, after relatively low dose 10 nmol/l the cells die after cell-cycle arrest in G2 phase. The results show, that apoptosis induced by idarubicin could appear independently of the cell-cycle phase and that period in which apoptosis is observed is related to the dose of Idarubicin.
