In Vitro Model NB4 cells Acute promyelocytic leukemia Homo sapiens CVCL_0005
HL-60 cells Adult acute myeloid leukemia Homo sapiens CVCL_0002
U-937 cells Adult acute monocytic leukemia Homo sapiens CVCL_0007
In Vivo Model
Six- to seven-week-old female NCG mice were obtained from the Nanjing model animal research institute (Nanjing, China). Mice were raised in individually ventilated cages of Anhui Medical University (Hefei, China). Then, an injection of NB4 cells (5 x 106/100 ul) suspended in chilled Matrigel and PBS (1:1) was given into the right flank of each mouse. For each experiment, the animals (n = 12) were randomly allocated into the two groups and treated with solvent or 10 mg/kg ATPR (intraperitoneal injection, once every other day) for 7 days.

Response regulation ATPR, a novel all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) derivative, has been extensively developed to show superior anticancer effect than ATRA in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). ATPR-induced ferroptosis was regulated by autophagy via iron homeostasis, especially Nrf2.
