“ EGCG significantly lowered down the ATO concentration required for an effective control of APL cells, HL-60.”
“The simultaneous treatment of ATO with EGCG induced a mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in HL-60 cells significantly, which accounted for more than 70% of the cell death in the treatment.”
“This investigation also provided evidence that ATO , since mainly acted to induce HO-1 in simultaneous treatment with EGCG , could be replaced by other HO-1 inducer with much less human toxicity.”
