Effects of ethanol, CBD and delta 'THC on proliferation of K-562 cells. 1984

A Dvilansky, and Z Zolotov, and B Herzliker, and I Nathan

The effect of ethanol and cannabinoids on proliferation of the leukaemic cell line K-562 is described. The effects on the cells were assessed by counts of viable cells and 3H thymidine incorporation. delta 'THC was found to attenuate the proliferation of K-562 cells, the effect being prominent at 10(-4)M. CBD was effective only at high concentrations or after prolonged incubation time. Both drugs were dissolved in 0.3% ethanol solution; ethanol itself caused a biphasic effect, namely a mild increase in K562 proliferation at low concentrations and a marked attenuation at higher concentrations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.
