OBJECTIVE To determine the differentiation-inducing effects of perphenazine on K562 leukemia cells. METHODS Differentiation-Inducing effects of a phenothiazine perphenazine were evaluated by proliferation, morphology and function of K562 cells. We evaluated the effects of perphenazine on K562 cells proliferation by cellular enumeration in liquid culture assay, MTT assay and clony formation assay, the morphology by Wight-Gimesa staining, and the function by detecting CD71 through flow cytometry. RESULTS Perphenazine enhanced the expression of CD71 on K562 cells and increased Hb content in K562 cells, while inhibited the proliferation of K562 cells. K562 cells showed differentiation morphology after the drug treatment. CONCLUSIONS Perphenazine possessed differentiation-inducing effects on K562 cells.

D005434	Flow Cytometry	Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
