Figure Lengend Snippet: Combination therapy with imatinib and NK-128 inhibits the proliferation of CML cell lines and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines to a greater extent than imatinib alone. ( A ) CML and Ph + ALL cell lines were treated with medium (black), imatinib (blue) or a combination of imatinib and 0.1 μM NK-128 (red). The concentration of imatinib was 0.25 μM for K562, 0.2 μM for MYL, 0.1 μM for BV173, 0.4 μM for SUP-B15, and 1 μM for MYL-R. The combination of NK-128 plus imatinib also inhibited the proliferation to a greater extent than imatinib alone. (** p < 0.01) ( B ) Each cell line was treated with or without NK-128 and imatinib (IM) for 3 days. The number of cells stained with APC-annexin V was measured by flow cytometric analysis, as described in the . Results are the mean of three independent experiments with SD (* p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01).
