ABT‐737 is a useful component of combinatory chemotherapies for chronic myeloid leukaemias with diverse drug‐resistance mechanisms
20 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
The effect of ABT-737, a BH3-mimicking inhibitor for anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L), but not Mcl-1, against Bcr-Abl-positive (Bcr-Abl(+)) leukaemic cells was examined. ABT-737 potently induced apoptosis in Bcr-Abl(+) chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) cell lines and primary CML samples in vitro and prolonged the survival of mice xenografted with BV173 cells, a CML cell line. Higher expression of anti-apoptotic...
