Abstract excerpt
Mutation of the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein is one of most frequent mechanisms by which chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cells become resistant to imatinib. Here, we show that treatment of cell lines harbouring wild type or mutant BCR-ABL with carboxyamidotriazole (CAI), a calcium influx and signal transduction inhibitor, inhibits cell growth, the expression of Bcr-Abl and its downstream signalling, and induces...
