  Background Vinorelbine is a semi-synthetic vinca alkaloid that has been employed both as a single agent and in combination, and has shown significant antitumor activity. Dexamethasone which acts on glucocorticoid and meperidine which acts on mu opioid receptors have pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects. We investigated the effects of dexamethasone and meperidine on the cytotoxicity of vinorelbine on HL-60 human acute promyelocytic leukemia cell line. Methods The cytotoxic effects of vinorelbine alone and in combination with dexamethasone or meperidine were examined on the HL-60 cell line by performing plating efficacy, BrdU, caspase 3, bcl-2 immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. Results We determined that vinorelbine inhibited cell proliferation and decreased the rate of sy.. View More»
