Abstract
Didemnin B induces rapid apoptosis in human promyeloid HL‐60 cells with an optimal concentration of 1 μM (Grubb et al. (1995) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 215, 1130–1136), but little is known about how it does so. In order to determine whether protein tyrosine phosphorylation is involved in this rapid induction of apoptosis, HL‐60 cells were pre‐treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors for 1 h before didemnin B treatment. Genistein, 2,5‐dihydroxycinnamic acid methyl ester, and a range of tyrphostins inhibit didemnin B‐induced apoptotic morphology in a concentration‐dependent manner. DNA fragmentation induced by didemnin B is also inhibited by genistein, 2,5‐dihydroxycinnamic acid methyl ester, and tyrphostins.Keywords
