Dihydroaustrasulfone Alcohol Induces Biphasic Autophagy and Apoptosis in Leukemia Cells via PI3K/Akt and JNK Signaling Pathways
DA elicits a biphasic cellular response in U937 leukemia cells, characterized by transient cytoprotective autophagy followed by apoptotic cell death mediated through dysregulation of Bcl-2/Bax and suppression of the PI3K/Akt pathway, indicating that DA is a promising candidate for novel antileukemic therapeutic strategies.
