Abstract

Cell killing is a critical pharmacological activity of imatinib to eradicate Bcr/Abl + leukemias. We found that imatinib kills Bcr/Abl + leukemic cells by triggering the Bcl-2-regulated apoptotic pathway. Imatinib activated several proapoptotic BH3-only proteins: bim and bmf transcription was increased, and both Bim and Bad were activated posttranslationally. Studies using RNAi and cells from gene-targeted mice revealed that Bim plays a major role in imatinib-induced apoptosis of Bcr/Abl + leukemic cells and that the combined loss of Bim and Bad abrogates this killing. Loss of Bmf or Puma had no effect. Resistance to imatinib caused by Bcl-2 overexpression or loss of Bim (plus Bad) could be overcome by cotreatment with the BH3 mimetic ABT-737. These results demonstrate that Bim and Bad account for most, perhaps all, imatinib-induced killing of Bcr/Abl + leukemic cells and suggest previously undescribed drug combination strategies for cancer therapy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
