Imatinib-Resistant Leukemia and LYN Kinase
The tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib is used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Failure of imatinib treatment is associated with mutations in the BCR-ABL kinase in some, but not all, CML patients. The LYN kinase regulates survival and responsiveness of CML cells to inhibition of the BCR-ABL kinase, and differences in LYN regulation have been found between imatinib-sensitive and imatinib-resistant CML cell lines. Wu et al. (p. 926) investigated whether LYN kinase was involved in imatinib-resistant CML by evaluating mononuclear cells from 12 imatinib-resistant CML patients with BCR-ABL mutation–negative leukemia and
