Background/aim: Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disease, and a major challenge for the eradication of CML is to understand the cause of the permanence of minimal residual disease (DRM). This work aimed to induce the maturation of leukemic stem cells with All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), making them sensitive to treatment with Imatinib (IM).
Materials And Methods: K562 cells were treated with IM and with the combined therapy of ATRA together with IM for 48 and 72 h.
