Differential effect of MTX and PRD on leukemic cell proliferation independently of hypoxia. (A) Effect of hypoxia (5Â % O2) on cell survival in leukemic cell (day 0, day 2 and day 6). (B) Effect of chemotherapies and hypoxia (5Â % O2) on cell survival in leukemic cells (day 6). Nalm-6 and Reh cells were loaded with CFDA SE at day 0 and cultured either in normoxia or in hypoxia and in the presence of MTX or PRD. The relative decrease of CFDA SE staining was monitored by flow cytometry. (DOCX 111Â kb
