Expression of Concern: Arsenic Sulfide Promotes Apoptosis in Retinoid Acid Resistant Human Acute Promyelocytic Leukemic NB4-R1 Cells through Downregulation of SET Protein

چکیده

We have followed up with the authors in relation to these concerns and they have indicated that the manuscript was submitted to PLOS ONE without their knowledge by a contractor hired to edit the language and that the first author Yuwang Tian is not a member of their research team. In the light of the concerns about the duplicate publication of the same work and the difference in the author list for the two articles, the PLOS ONE editors have contacted the Xi’an Jiaotong University to request an institutional investigation. The PLOS ONE editors are issuing this Expression of Concern to alert readers of the concerns about this publication. We will take further steps in relation to this article as necessary according to the outcome of the institutional investigation.

Arsenic Sulfide Promotes Apoptosis in Retinoid Acid Resistant Human Acute Promyelocytic Leukemic NB4-R1 Cells through Downregulation of SET Protein

Tetra-arsenic tetra-sulfide (As4S4) is an arsenic compound with anti-tumor activity, especially in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) that are resistant to retinoic acid (RA). Although recent studies revealed that the therapeutic action of As4S4 is closely associated with the induction of cellular apoptosis, the exact molecular mechanism of action of As4S4 in RA-resistant APL remains to be clar...

Targeting of PML/RARa Is Lethal to Retinoic Acid–Resistant Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells, containing the t(15;17) rearrangement, express the fusion protein, PML/ RARa. Clinically, patients respond to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) through complete remissions associated with myeloid maturation of leukemic cells. This clinical ATRA response of APL is linked to PML/RARa expression. Unfortunately, these remissions are transient and relapsed APL ...

Prohibitin promotes apoptosis of promyelocytic leukemia induced by arsenic sulfide.

Arsenic sulfide (As4S4), an oral form of arsenic agent, has been shown to have similar efficacy and safety to intravenous arsenic trioxide in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). The aim of the present study was to identify proteins modulated by As4S4 and to determine their involvement in the apoptotic pathway. We used comparative proteomic analysis to screen and identify the pr...

Combined arsenic and retinoic acid treatment enhances differentiation and apoptosis in arsenic-resistant NB4 cells.

In the acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line NB4, as well as in APL patients' cells, arsenic trioxide (As2O3) leads to incomplete cell maturation, induction of apoptosis, as well as to the degradation of the oncogenic PML/RARalpha fusion protein. We have isolated an arsenic-resistant NB4 subline (NB4-AsR), which fails to undergo apoptosis, but maintains the partial differentiation respon...
