Bcl‐2 phosphorylation confers resistance on chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells to the BH3 mimetics ABT‐737, ABT‐263 and ABT‐199 by impeding direct binding
23 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although the ongoing clinical trials of ABT-263 and ABT-199 in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) have indicated that BH3 mimetics hold considerable promise, understanding the mechanism of CLL resistance to BH3 mimetics remains a challenge. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: The LD50 values of ABT-737, ABT-263 and ABT-199 in a number of primary CLL cells from 40 patients, were determined. The levels...
