Long‐term exposure of gastrointestinal stromal tumor cells to sunitinib induces epigenetic silencing of the PTEN gene
28 Mar 2011
Abstract excerpt
Although sunitinib possesses significant clinical effects on imatinib-resistant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), the individuals with GIST eventually become resistant to treatment with this tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The mechanism of resistance to sunitinib is still under investigation. To address this issue, we have established sunitinib-resistant GIST-T1 sublines (designated as GIST-T1R) by culturing...
