“Further, the combination of 1 µM ATRA with different concentrations of Dau demonstrated synergistic effects in HCT116 and KG1a human cells expressing AKR1C3.”

“We conclude that ATRA and RA exert a slight but clear cytotoxic and apoptotic effect on AML blast cells after 96 h incubation and that retinoids can have an additive or synergistic effects on cell toxicity when added to daunorubicin.”
“When the retinoids were added to DNR the apoptotic rate increased from 41% with DNR alone to 51% with ATRA (P = 0.01) and to 49% with 9-cis-RA (P = 0.03).”
“When retinoids were added to DNR the mean decrease in viability was 11 percentage points with ATRA (P = 0.003) and nine percentage points with 9-cis-RA (P = 0.02).”
“All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) increases the sensitivity of AML blast cells to cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) or daunorubicin DNR ) when ATRA is given after drug.”
