| Abstract | The HL-60 cell line, derived from a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia, proliferates continuously in suspension culture and consists predominantly (greater than 90%) of promyelocytes. These cells can be induced to differentiate to morphologically and functionally mature granulocytes by incubation with a wide variety of compounds, including butyrate and hypoxanthine and polar planar compounds such as dimethyl sulfoxide and hexamethylene bisacetamide. We have now found that retinoic acid (all-trans-retinoic acid) induces differentiation (as measured morphologically and by the ability to reduce nitroblue tetrazolium) of HL-60 at concentrations as low as 1 nM. Maximal differentiation (approximately 90%) occurs at 1 micro M, a concentration 1/500th to 1/160,000th the concentrations of butyrate (0.5 mM) and dimethyl sulfoxide (160 mM) that promote a similar increase in differentiation. Continuous exposure to retinoic acid is necessary for optimal differentiation, with the percentage of mature cells in the culture directly related to the length of time of exposure to retinoic acid. Retinoic acid and 13-cis-retinoic acid are equally effective in inducing differentiation of HL-60. Retinol (vitamin A), retinal, and retinyl acetate are approximately 1/1000th less potent. This study suggests that retinoids could provide a therapeutic tool in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia, a disease that has been looked upon as primarily involving a block in myeloid differentiation, and indicates that retinoids, in addition to their well-characterized involvement in epithelial cell differentiation, may also be involved in the differentiation of certain hematopoietic cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
