Effects of the aurora kinase inhibitors AZD1152-HQPA and ZM447439 on growth arrest and polyploidy in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines and primary blasts
Background Aurora kinases play an dsp-7lp essential role in the orchestration of chromosome separation and cytokinesis during mitosis.Small-molecule inhibition of the aurora kinases has been shown to result in inhibition of cell division, phosphorylation of histone H3 and the induction of apoptosis in a number of cell systems.These characteristics
