“ Caffeine increased CPt cytotoxicity in K562 cells and its doxorubicin-resistant subline (K562/ADM), but little effect was seen in HL-60 cells or mononuclear cells from leukemic patients.”
“ Caffeine synergistically potentiated cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by ionizing radiation or carboplatin (CPt), but attenuated induction of apoptosis by daunorubicin (DNR) in KG-1a cells.”
“ Caffeine synergistically reduced the level of the apoptosis inhibitor glutatione after irradiation or CPt treatment.”
