Resistance to the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib poses a pressing challenge in treating chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This resistance is often caused by point mutations in the ABL kinase domain or by overexpression of LYN. The second-generati ...
Point mutations in the kinase domain of BCR-ABL are the most common mechanism of drug resistance in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients treated with ABL kinase inhibitors, including imatinib. It has also been shown in vitro that mutations outside the k ...
The detailed molecular mechanism of action of second-generation BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors, including perturbed targets and pathways, should contribute to rationalized therapy in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or in other affected diseases. Here, w ...
We have identified differentially regulated genes in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells upon short treatment with the broad-spectrum Bcr-Abl inhibitor dasatinib. The highly specific Bcr-Abl inhibitor nilotinib caused a very similar gene expression signat ...
The BCR-ABL oncogenic tyrosine kinase causes chronic myeloid leukemia and is the target for imatinib therapy. During imatinib treatment, cells are selected in some patients with BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations that render decreased drug sensitivity. In add ...
Nilotinib is a second generation ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that exerts major anti-leukemic effects in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) as well as in most patients with imatinib-resistant CML. In freshly diagnosed patie ...
Introduction Breast cancer subtyping and prognosis have been studied extensively by gene expression profiling, resulting in disparate signatures with little overlap in their constituent genes. Although a previous study demonstrated a prognostic concordance ...
The lanthanide binuclear helicate [Ln(2)(L-C2)(3)] has been embedded into bare and NH2-functionalized silica nanoparticles (NPs) using water-in-oil microemulsion technique. TEM analysis reveals both [Ln(2)(L-C2)(3)]@SiO2 and [Ln(2)(L-C2)(3)]@SiO2/NH2 nanop ...
Degradable polymer nanoparticles (NPs, 50nm) based on polypropylene sulfide (PPS) were conjugated to thiolated antigen and adjuvant proteins by reversible disulfide bonds and evaluated in mucosal vaccination. Ovalbumin was used as a model antigen, and anti ...
Following the initial success of imatinib as frontline therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), several second-generation therapeutics have been developed with increased potency and the ability to inhibit the majority of imatinib-resistant mutations. He ...
