Abstract excerpt
Some cases of chronic myelogenous leukemia are resistant to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) independently of mutation in BCR-ABL, but the detailed mechanism underlying this resistance has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we generated a TKI-resistant CML cell line, K562R, that lacks a mutation in BCR-ABL. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) was more highly expressed in K562R than in the parental cell line K562S, and...
