Contribution of BCR–ABL‐independent activation of ERK1/2 to acquired imatinib resistance in K562 chronic myeloid leukemia cells
14 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase, generated from the reciprocal chromosomal translocation t(9;22), causes chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). BCR-ABL is inhibited by imatinib; however, several mechanisms of imatinib resistance have been proposed that account for loss of imatinib efficacy in patients with CML. Previously, we showed that overexpression of the efflux drug transporter P-glycoprotein partially contributed to...
