In present study we studied the effect of all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA) and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) on the induction of apoptosis in HL-60 cell line. Based on morphological changes by Hochest 33342 staining and identification of internucleosomal DNA cleavage by gel electrophoresis, we observed aberrant nuclear chromatin eondensation and ladder-like pattern of DNA degradation. Using Flow Cytometric method, we found sub-G1 peak in RA-treated HL-60 cells starting 5 to 6 d after the initiation of the treatment. However, such an obvious apoptotic peak was not identified in DMSO-differentiated cells. Combining the research accomplished before, our study approves further that apoptosis could be a common mode of death of terminally differentiated HL-60 cells.
