Regulation of the Interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF-8) Tumor Suppressor Gene by the Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5 (STAT5) Transcription Factor in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Abstract excerpt

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib can effectively target the BCR-ABL oncoprotein in a majority of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Unfortunately, some patients are resistant primarily to imatinib and others develop drug resistance, prompting interest in the discovery of new drug targets. Although much of this resistance can be explained by the presence of mutations within the tyrosine...
