Study of the mechanism on the apoptosis induced in Human leukemia cell line K562 by the combination of indole-3-acetic acid and horseradish peroxidase

Indole-3-acetic acid(IAA)is an i mportant typeof the plant growth hor mone found in higherplants,and participate inthe regulation of plant celldivision,elongation and differentiation.It is pres-ent in human urine,blood plas ma and central nerv-ous system.IAAis well tolerated in human and isnot oxidized by mammalian peroxidase.Recent re-searches suggest that the combination of IAA andhorseradish peroxidase(HRP)is cytotoxic to mam-malian cells,and could be used as a novel cancertherapy[1-3],while neither IAAn...
