The roles of epigenetic modifications of proapoptotic BID and BIM genes in imatinibresistant chronic myeloid leukemia cells
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-07)
In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), epigenetic modifications such as promoter hypermethylation and inactive histone modification are known mechanisms of drug resistance. In our study, we investigated the roles of promoter ...
Docetaxel enhances the cytotoxic effects of imatinib on Philadelphia positive human chronic myeloid leukemia cells
(Taylor & Francis, 2009-06)
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) results from a translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 which generates BCR/ABL fusion protein and characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of immature white blood cells. Imatinib, ...
Nilotinib significantly induces apoptosis in imatinib resistant K562 cells with wild-type BCR-ABL, as effectively as in parental sensitive counterparts
(Taylor & Francis, 2010-02)
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematological malignancy characterized by high levels of immature white blood cells. CML is caused by the translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 (which results in the formation of ...
Mechanisms responsible for nilotinib resistance in human chronic myeloid leukemia cells and reversal of resistance
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-06)
Multidrug resistance remains a significant obstacle to successful chemotherapy. The ability to determine the possible resistance mechanisms and surmount the resistance is likely to improve chemotherapy. Nilotinib is a very ...
STAT pathway in the regulation of zoledronic acid-induced apoptosis in chronic myeloid leukemia cells
(Elsevier, 2013-07)
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of zoledronic acid on K562 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells and to examine the roles of STAT genes on zoledronic acid-induced apoptosis. The results ...
Roles of ceramide synthase and ceramide clearence genes in nilotinib-induced cell death in chronic myeloidleukemia cells
(Informa Healthcare, 2011-08)
In this study, we aimed to increase the sensitivity of human K562 and Meg-01 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells to nilotinib by targeting bioactive sphingolipids, in addition to investigating the roles of ceramide ...
miR-17 in imatinib resistance and response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia cells
(Zerbinis Medical Publications, 2013-04)
In this study we examined the expression levels of miR-17 which possesses oncogenic activities through downregulation of CDKN1A, p21 and E2F1 tumor suppressor genes, in imatinib sensitive and resistant chronic myeloid ...
Resveratrol triggers apoptosis through regulating ceramide metabolizing genes in human K562 chronic myeloid leukemia cells
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-05)
Resveratrol, an important phytoalexin in many plants, has been reported to have cytotoxic effects on various types of cancer. Ceramide is a bioactive sphingolipid that regulates many signaling pathways, including cell ...
Combination of fludarabine and imatinib induces apoptosis synergistically through loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and increases in caspase-3 enzyme activity in human K562 chronic myleloid leukemia cells
(Informa Healthcare, 2010-06)
In this study, we aimed to show the synergistic apoptotic effects of imatinib/fludarabine combination in human K562 chronic myleloid leukemia (CML) cells. There was a significant increase in cytotoxicity of combination of ...
Therapeutic potential of apigenin, a plant flavonoid, for imatinib-sensitive and resistant chronic myeloid leukemia cells
(Routledge, 2014-05)
Despite the presence of many therapeutic regimens like imatinib and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors, the development of resistance, intolerance, and side effects makes chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) therapy challenging. ...
