Abstract

This report aims to more accurately define the frequency of the involvement of SRC Family Kinases (SFKs) in imatinib- and dasatinib-resistant CML patients. Clinical samples were analysed during in vivo treatment. We confirmed the high frequency of SFKs involvement in Tyrosine kinase inhibitor-resistant CML (52% of the cases) and even further in progressive disease and blast crises (60% of the cases). The SFKs deregulation is also observed in patients harboring BCR-ABL mutations. In T315I and F317L mutated patients, CML-resistance appears to be promoted by SFKs kinase protein reactivation once the BCR-ABL mutated clone has decreased on Omacetaxine.
