Comparison of parental HL-60 and Raji cells with the ρ- clones for their apoptotic response to anticancer agents. (A) Quantitative analysis of apoptosis induced by 1 μg/ml As2O3 and 0.1 μM taxol for 24 h in parental HL-60 cells (Par) and respiration-deficient ρ- cells (HL60-C6F). Apoptosis was assayed by annexin-V/PI staining and quantitated by flow cytometry analysis (n = 4 separate assays). The respiration-deficient HL60-C6F cells were significantly less sensitive to anticancer agents than the parental cells (*, P < 0.05 compared with the parental HL-60 cells). (B–D) Comparison of parental Raji cells with four respiration-deficient ρ- cells for their apoptotic response to 1 μg/ml As2O3 for 24 h (B; n = 7), 0.1 μM doxorubicin for 36 h (C; n = 5), and 5 ng/ml vincristine for 36 h (D; n = 5). Apoptosis was assayed by annexin-V/PI staining and quantitated by flow cytometry analysis. Results are expressed as the mean ± the SD (*, P < 0.05 compared with the parental Raji cells).
