Cancers Free Full Text Mechanisms Of Acquired Resistance To Alk The discovery of an echinoderm microtubule associated protein like 4 (eml4) anaplastic lymphoma kinase (alk) fusion gene led to improved clinical outcomes in patients with lung cancer after the development of the first alk targeting agent, crizotinib. some second generation alk tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tkis), which might be more potent than crizotinib or effective on crizotinib resistant. This resistance mechanism appeared to involve support by the cancer stroma because scf was produced specifically in the stroma of the resistant cancer with kit amplification. accordingly, our laboratory studies suggest that ligand is necessary for amplified kit to confer full resistance (fig. 4, d and e). our preclinical data suggest that a.
Cancers Free Full Text Mechanisms Of Acquired Resistance To Alk Although the mechanism of drug resistance can be divided into alk dependent and non dependent, the specific mechanisms have not been clarified, so there is urgency in developing strategies to overcome or prevent drug resistance. with a growing understanding of the mechanisms of drug resistance, a new generation of alki is expected to be more. Molecular mechanisms of alk inhibitor resistance. molecular mechanisms of resistance to alk tki therapy can be broadly classified as intrinsic (i.e., primary) or acquired (i.e., secondary). intrinsic resistance is defined as a de novo lack of response to treatment and is considered when progression is noted within 3 months of alk tki initiation . Heterogeneity of resistance mechanisms from cell lines with acquired resistance to crizotinib (a) three independently derived, crizotinib resistant cell lines (h3122 cr1, cr2, and cr3) were treated with the indicated doses of crizotinib for 72 hours. as controls, parental h3122 cells and three alk wt cell lines (hcc827, pc9, and a549) were also. Fig. 1. alk gene amplification and mul tiple alk resistance mutations in cancers with acquired crizotinib resistance. (a) fish analysis of alk demonstrates high level alk gene amplification in one resistant tumor. amplified, rearranged alk appears as a cluster of isolated red signals in this resist ant specimen.

However, patients with these cancers invariably relapse, typically within 1 year, because of the development of drug resistance. herein, we report findings from a series of lung cancer patients (n = 18) with acquired resistance to the alk tki crizotinib. in about one fourth of patients, we identified a diverse array of secondary mutations. The duration of crizotinib therapy ranged from 4 to 34 months, with a median of 10.5 months (table 1). the majority of patients (15 of 18) underwent repeat biopsy while still on crizotinib or within one month of discontinuing crizotinib (table 1). tumor specimens were derived from core biopsies or resections, mediastinal lymph node samples, or.
