Micro-RNA response to imatinib mesylate in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia
11 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) control gene expression by destabilizing targeted transcripts and inhibiting their translation. Aberrant expression of miRNAs has been described in many human cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia. Current first-line therapy for newly diagnosed chronic myeloid leukemia is imatinib mesylate, which typically produces a rapid hematologic response. However the effect of imatinib...
