Imatinib (STI571) Inhibits DNA Repair in Human Leukemia Oncogenic Tyrosine Kinase-Expressing Cells
1 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
BCR/ABL oncogene, as a result of chromosome aberration t(9;22), is the pathogenic principle of almost 95% of human chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Imatinib (STI571) is a highly selective inhibitor of BCR/ABL oncogenic tyrosine kinase used in leukemia treatment. It has been suggested that BCR/ABL may contribute to the resistance of leukemic cells to drug and radiation through stimulation of DNA repair in these...
