Inhibition of cell cycle and induction of apoptosis due to modified C60 on HL-60 promyelocytic leukemic cells and it's macrophage-like cells
This report showed an inhibitory effect of cell proliferation on HL-60 human leukemic cells followed by modified C60s. Additionally, those C60s was capable to be phagocytosed by a macrophages differentiated from HL-60 cells. An adequate modification of C60 may become a candidate of therapeutic tools for cancer.
