In this study, we have addressed how Lyn kinase signaling mediates nilotinib-resistance by quantitative phospho-proteomics using Stable Isotope Labeling with Amino acid in Cell culture. We have found an increased tyrosine phosphorylation of 2 additional tyrosine kinases in nilotinib-resistant cells: the spleen tyrosine kinase Syk and the UFO family receptor tyrosine kinase Axl. This increased tyrosine phosphorylation involved an interaction of these tyrosine kinases with Lyn. Inhibition of Syk by the inhibitors R406 or BAY 61-3606 or by RNA interference restored the capacity of nilotinib to inhibit cell proliferation. Conversely, coexpression of Lyn and Syk were required to fully induce resistance to nilotinib in drug-sensitive cells. Surprisingly, the knockdown of Syk also strongly decreased tyrosine phosphorylation of Lyn and Axl, thus uncovering interplay between Syk and Lyn. We have shown the involvement of the adaptor protein CDCP-1 in resistance to nilotinib. Interestingly, the expression of Axl and CDCP1 were found increased both in a nilotinib-resistant cell line and in nilotinib-resistant CML patients. We conclude that an oncogenic signaling mediated by Lyn and Syk can bypass the need of Bcr-Abl in CML cells. Thus, targeting these kinases may be of therapeutic value to override imatinib or nilotinib resistance in CML.

Asciminib add-on to imatinib demonstrates sustained high rates of ongoing therapy and deep molecular responses with prolonged follow-up in the ASC4MORE study.

Background: Up to 65% of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who are treated with imatinib do not achieve sustained deep molecular response, which is required to attempt treatment-free remission. Asciminib is the only approved BCR::ABL1 inhibitor that Specifically Targets the ABL Myristoyl Pocket. This unique mechanism of action allows asciminib to be combined with adenosine triphosphate-competitive tyrosine kinase inhibitors to prevent resistance and enhance efficacy.

Antimicrobial resistance is recognized as a major worldwide public health dilemma in the current century. , a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen, causes nosocomial infections like respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, dermatitis, and cystic fibrosis. It manifests antibiotic resistance via intrinsic, acquired, and adaptive pathways, where efflux pumps function in the extrusion of antibiotics from the cell.

However, drug resistance and side effects, particularly those affecting hemostasis, continue to pose significant challenges for TKI therapies. As tyrosine kinases serve pivotal roles in platelet hemostatic function, we investigated the potential impact of both established and emerging ABL TKIs on human platelet activities Our study included standard-of-care agents (e.

- Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can develop from a chronic phase to a rare megakaryoblastic phase, which has a poor prognosis and resistance to standard treatments like tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
- A case study details a 39-year-old woman whose CML progressed to this rare phase despite receiving chemotherapy, leading to her death within a month.
- The diagnosis included various tests showing that the disease transformed into acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL), emphasizing the importance of using megakaryocytic markers in diagnosis for better treatment outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the use of frontline TKI therapy in elderly patients (75 years or older) with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CP-CML) among a large cohort of 332 patients.
- Results showed that 85.8% of patients received imatinib (IM), while 14.2% were treated with second-generation TKIs (2G-TKI) like dasatinib and nilotinib, with a notable percentage starting on reduced doses.
- The findings indicated increased usage of IM after generic versions became available in Italy, but significant discontinuation rates due to resistance and toxicities were observed, highlighting the need for personalized treatment assessments and further studies on lower TKI doses.
