Overexpression of P-glycoprotein induces acquired resistance to imatinib in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells
25 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
Imatinib, a breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-Abelson murine leukemia(ABL) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has revolutionized the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). However, development of multidrug resistance(MDR) limits the use of imatinib. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the mechanisms of cellular resistance to imatinib in CML. Therefore, we established an imatinib-resistant human...
