    Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic malignancy characterized by the t(9; 22) and the related oncogene, BCR-ABL. Tyrosine kinase activity of fusion protein BCR-ABL is the main cause of CML. Even if imatinib is used as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for CML therapy. drug resistance may occur in patients and the clinical failure of imatinib treatment in resistant patients had resulted with the use of another alternative TKIs. BCR-ABL dependent and independent molecular mechanisms have crucial roles in drug resistance. To reveal the underlying molecular mechanisms which play significant roles in imatinib resistance in CML, we established K562 imatinib-resistant cell line (K562r5) which was continuously exposed to (5 mu M) imatinib to investigate molecular mechanisms which play significant roles in drug resistance. First of all, we analyzed T315I. M351T, F315L and F359C/L/V mutations with DNA sequencing as a BCR-ABL dependent mechanism in our cell lines. Moreover, we investigated BCR-ABL independent mechanisms such as apoptosis. autophagy, drug transport and DNA repair which affect drug resistance in these cell lines. In vitro cell viability was determined by MTT assay. DNA sequencing analysis was performed to detect BCR-ABL mutations. The apoptotic effect of imatinib on CML cell lines was tested by flow cytometric Annexin V-PE staining and caspase activation assays. Apoptotic, autophagic, drug transporter and DNA repair genes expression levels were determined by RT-PCR. The conventional cytogenetic analysis was performed on K562s and K562r cells. Our results indicate that inhibition of apoptosis, induction of autophagy, overexpression of efflux gene MDR1 and down-regulation of influx gene OCT1 play crucial roles in the progression of imatinib resistance.

    Phenotypic and functional characterization of subpopulation of Imatinib resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cell line
    (Elsevier Urban & Partner Sp Z O O, 2023) Hekmatshoar, Yalda; Gurel, Aynur Karadag; Ozkan, Tulin; Saadat, Yalda Rahbar; Koc, Asli; Karabay, Arzu Zeynep; Bozkurt, Sureyya
    Purpose: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematological malignancy characterized by the presence of BCR-ABL protein. Imatinib (IMA) is considered as the first line therapy in management of CML which particularly targets the BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase protein. However, emergence of resistance to IMA hinders its clinical efficiency. Hence, identifying novel targets for therapeutic approaches in CML treatment is of great importance. Here, we characterize a new subpopulation of highly adherent IMA-resistant CML cells that express stemness and adhesion markers compared to naive counterparts.Materials and methods: We performed several experimental assays including FISH, flow cytometry, and gene expression assays. Additionally, bioinformatics analysis was performed by normalized web-available microarray data (GSE120932) to revalidate and introduce probable biomarkers. Protein-protein interactions (PPI) network was analyzed by the STRING database employing Cytoscape v3.8.2.Results: Our findings demonstrated that constant exposure to 5 & mu;M IMA led to development of the adherent phenotype (K562R-adh). FISH and BCR-ABL expression analysis indicated that K562R-adh cells were derived from the original cells (K562R). In order to determine the role of various genes involved in epi-thelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stem cell characterization, up/down-regulation of various genes including cancer stem cell (CSC), adhesion and cell surface markers and integrins were observed which was similar to the findings of the GSE120932 dataset.Conclusion: Treating CML patients with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as well as targeting adhesion molecules deemed to be effective approaches in prevention of IMA resistance emergence which in turn may provide promising effects in the clinical management of CML patients.
