Prevalent loss of mitotic spindle checkpoint in adult T-cell leukemia confers resistance to microtubule inhibitors.

Abstract excerpt

Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) is the causative agent for adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). Molecularly, ATL cells have extensive aneugenic abnormalities that occur, at least in part, from cell cycle dysregulation by the HTLV-I-encoded Tax oncoprotein. Here, we compared six HTLV-I-transformed cells to Jurkat and primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in their responses to treatment with...
