Glucose availability in hypoxia regulates the selection of chronic myeloid leukemia progenitor subsets with different resistance to imatinib-mesylate
11 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Incubation of chronic myeloid leukemia cells in hypoxia inhibits growth and selects BCR/Abl-independent cells with stem cell properties which are refractory to imatinib-mesylate. This study aimed to characterize the relationship of this refractoriness with glucose availability in the environment. DESIGN AND METHODS: K562 or primary chronic myeloid leukemia cells were cultured at 0.1% O(2), different...
