We recently found that retinoic acids (RAs) exert anticoagulant effects by upregulating thrombomodulin (TM) and downregulating tissue factor (TF) expression in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells and monoblastic leukemia cells.
We recently found that retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, exert anticoagulant effects by upregulating thrombomodulin (TM) and downregulating tissue factor (TF) expression in acute promyelocytic leukemia cells and monoblastic leukemia cells.
The expressions of thrombomodulin (TM) and tissue factor (TF) by all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) were studied in human leukemic cell lines including NB4 (acute promyelocytic leukemia) and U937 (monoblastic leukemia).
