TLDR
It is concluded that prednisone has a general destructive effect both on actively proliferating and on quiescent leukemic lymphoblasts and some implications of this cytokinetic perturbation for therapeutic combination of corticosteroids with methotrexate and vincristine are discussed.

Dexamethasone induces irreversible G1 arrest and death of a human lymphoid cell line.

TL;DR: Results show that dexamethasone arrests these leukemic T‐cell line cells in G1 and strongly suggest that DexamethAsone‐treated cells are killed upon entry into G1, suggesting a glucocorticoid receptor mediated mechanism for both phenomena.

The effect of glucocorticosteroids on the proliferation and kinetics of promonocytes and monocytes of the bone marrow

TL;DR: It is concluded that a decreased production of monocytes in the bone marrow cannot account for the prolonged monocytopenia in the peripheral blood after hydrocortisone administration, however, hydroc Cortisone interferes with the release of newly formed monocytes from theBone marrow, resulting in a prolonged sojourn of these cells in this compartment.

Synchronization and recruitment in acute leukemia

TL;DR: The results of these studies indicate that a greater therapeutic advantage can be achieved by a second cycle-dependent drug after synchronization than after the second drug alone.

The cell cycle and its significance for cancer treatment.

TL;DR: The evidence presented above shows clearly that the application of certain principles of cell cycle kinetics can be of great benefit in the design of cancer treatments.

Inhibition of human lymphocyte stimulation by steroid hormones: Cytokinetic mechanisms

TL;DR: Late addition of steroid hormones to stimulated cultures reduced the per cent of cells in S phase, but did not revert previously transformed cycling lymphocytes to the G3 state, as shown by the decreased ([3H]thymidine incorporation/labelling index) ratio.

Observations on the proliferation of human leucocytes cultured with phytohaemagglutinin.

TL;DR: A REMARKABLE finding reported recently by Nowell (1960) is the mitogenic effect of a bean extract in short-term cultures of normal human peripheral blood leucocytes, which directed particular attention to this aspect of cell metabolism in the culture system.

The Stathmokinetic Effect of Vincristine

TL;DR: There was an inverse correlation between the magnitude of the mitotic index increase and the generation time for the various tissues, and vincristine and vinblastine produced comparable marrow mitotic “arrest” in man, whereas leukopenia occurred regularly only with vin Blastine.
