Homoharringtonine (HHT) combined with arsenic trioxide (ATO) decrease the proportion of primary leukemia stem cells (LSCs) in serum free medium with cytokine cocktail (Flt3L, SCF, IL-3 and IL-6). Quantification of frequencies of CD34+cells (a), CD34+/CD38 cells (b) and CD34+/CD38/CD96+ cells (c). (d) Display of flow cytometric analysis on bone marrow sample of patient no. 2 after treatment with HHT and ATO alone or combined. (e) Represents the proportion of normal primary CD34+/CD38- (n = 3)

Homoharringtonine (HHT) combined with arsenic trioxide (ATO) remarkably obliterated the histological infiltration of leukemia stem cells (LSCs). (a) H&E-stained sections of representative 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed spleens and bone marrow from NRG mice. (b) hCD45 and hCD34 levels were detected in the different groups by confocal laser-scanning microscopy in representative 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed spleens and bone marrow samples from NRG mice. Scale bars: 50 μm
