miR-125a-5p regulation increases phosphorylation of FAK that contributes to imatinib resistance in gastrointestinal stromal tumors
24 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
The use of imatinib mesylate has greatly improved the clinical outcome for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) patients. However, imatinib resistance is still a major clinical challenge, and the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. We have previously shown that miR-125a-5p and its mRNA target PTPN18 modulate imatinib response in GIST cells. Herein, we evaluated phosphorylated FAK (pFAK) as a candidate...
