Abstract:
Role of Src kinases in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia has been recently demonstrated in leukaemia mouse model. Retained activation of Src kinases by the BCR-ABL oncoprotein in leukaemic cells following inhibition of BCR-ABL kinase activity by imatinib indicates that Src activation by BCR-ABL is independent of BCR-ABL kinase activity and provides an explanation for reduced effectiveness of the BCR-ABL kinase activity inhibitors in Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Simultaneous inhibition of kinase activity of both BCR-ABL and Src kinases results in long-term survival of mice with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Leukaemic stem cells exist in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, and complete eradication of this group of cells would provide a curative therapy for this disease.
