The ONIOM2 (B3LYP/6-31G (d, p): PM3) and B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) methods were applied to investigate the interaction between STI-571 and abelson tyrosine kinase binding site. The complex of N-[4-methyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)- phenyl]-benzamide (part of STI-571) and related 16 amino acid residues were found at B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level to have hydrogen bonds and pi....pi stacking interaction, their binding energy via HAF optimization was -20.4 kcal mol(-1). The results derived from this study agreed well with the reported observation.

Introduction: Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. The actin-binding protein Girdin is overexpressed in various tumors, promoting tumorigenesis and progression. However, the exact mechanisms by which Girdin regulates liver cancer remain poorly understood.

Leukemic microenvironment has been recognized as a factor that strongly supports the mechanisms of resistance. Therefore, targeting the microenvironment is currently one of the major directions in drug development and preclinical studies in leukemia. Despite the variety of available leukemia 3D culture models, the reproducible generation of miniaturized leukemic microenvironments, suitable for high-throughput drug testing, has remained a challenge.

The aim of this study was to investigate the catalytic activity of 26 Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) variants and drug interactions on imatinib metabolism in recombinant insect microsomes. This study was designed with an appropriate incubation system and carried out in the constant temperature water. By using ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to measure the quantities of its metabolite N-desmethyl imatinib, to elucidate the impacts of the CYP3A4 genetic polymorphism and drug interactions on the metabolism of imatinib.

We showed previously that the autocrine activation of the FGFR-mediated pathway in GIST lacking secondary mutations was a result of the inhibition of KIT signaling. We show here that the FGF2/FGFR pathway regulates VEGF-A/VEGFR signaling in IM-resistant GIST cells. Indeed, recombinant FGF2 increased the production of VEGF-A by IM-naive and resistant GIST cells.

Chemotherapy resistance is a major obstacle in cancer therapy, and identifying novel druggable targets to reverse this phenomenon is essential. The exosome-mediated transmittance of drug resistance has been shown in various cancer models including ovarian and prostate cancer models. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of exosomal miRNA transfer in chronic myeloid leukemia drug resistance.
