Okadaic acid and Cal-A augmented methylprednisolone induced granulocytic differentiation and cell death of HL60 cells and monocytic differentiation and cell death of K562 cells in different dose ranges, respectively. These data suggest an important role of PP1 and PP2A in the mechanism leading to differentiation of leukemic cells.EnglishCell DeathCell DifferentiationEnzyme InhibitorsHL-60 CellsHumansLeukemia, MyeloidMethylprednisoloneOkadaic AcidOxazolesPhosphoprotein Phosphatasecalyculin amethylprednisoloneokadaic acidphosphoprotein phosphatase inhibitorarticlecell deathcell differentiationcell strain hl 60cell strain k 562controlled studydrug potentiationenzyme inhibitionhumanhuman cellleukemia cellmonocytepriority journalAugmentation of methylprednisolone-induced differentiation of myeloid leukemia cells by serine/threonine protein phosphatase inhibitorsArticle10.1016/S0145-2126(99)00040-5
