Mechanism of resistance to the ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 in BCR/ABL–transformed hematopoietic cell lines

Weisberg, Ellen, Griffin, James D.·2000·Blood

Abstract

The tyrosine kinase activity of the Bcr/Abl oncogene is required for transformation of hematopoietic cells. The tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 (formerly called CGP57148B, Novartis Pharmaceuticals) inhibits BCR/ABL, TEL/ABL, and v-ABL kinase activity and inhibits growth and viability of cells transformed by any of these ABL oncogenes. Here we report the generation of 2 BCR/ABL–positive cell lines that have developed partial resistance to STI571. BCR/ABL–transformed Ba/F3 hematopoietic cells and Philadelphia-positive human K562 cells were cultured in gradually increasing concentrations of STI571 over a period of several months to generate resistant lines. Resistant Ba/F3.p210 cells were found to have an increase in Bcr/Abl messenger RNA, amplification of the Bcr/Abl transgene, and a greater than tenfold increase in the level of BCR/ABL protein. In contrast to Ba/F3.p210 cells, drug-resistant K562 cells did not undergo detectable amplification of the BCR/ABL gene, although they displayed a 2-fold to 3-fold increase in p210BCR/ABL protein. The addition of STI571 to both resistant Ba/F3.p210 and K562 cells resulted in a rapid reduction of tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins, similar to that observed for nonresistant cells. However, the inhibition of kinase activity was transient and partial and was not accompanied by apoptosis. The results suggest that resistance to STI571 may be multifactorial. Increased expression of the target protein BCR/ABL was observed in both lines, and resulted from oncogene amplification in one line. However, altered drug metabolism, transport, or other related mechanisms may also contribute to drug resistance.

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.
