Cellular Uptake of Imatinib into Leukemic Cells Is Independent of Human Organic Cation Transporter 1 (OCT1)
19 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In addition to mutated BCR-ABL1 kinase, the organic cation transporter 1 (OCT1, encoded by SLC22A1) has been considered to contribute to imatinib resistance in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). As data are conflicting as to whether OCT1 transports imatinib and may serve as a clinical biomarker, we used a combination of different approaches including animal experiments to elucidate...
