Clinical and experimental findings suggesttumor cell quiescence in imatinib-treated GISTMajor problems of imatinib therapy: therapy resistance incomplete responses
Detectable tumor mass under treatmentRelapse when imatinib therapy is terminated
Tumor cells that do not respond to imatinib by undergoing apoptosis but remain quiescent may be a reservoir for resistant GIST cellsHoldsworth, Am J Roentgenol 2007;189:W324-W330transgenic KitV558 /+ mouse(in collaboration with C. Antonescu and P. Besmer)PETCTbaselineimatinib

Imatinib and the DREAM complexmammalian DREAM complex(DP, RB-like (p130), E2F and MuvB=LIN)E2F target gene
-
Conclusions imatinib leads to cell cycle exit and cellular quiescence modulation of the APCCDH1 SKP2 p27Kip1 axis modulation of the DREAM complex members
quiescent cells readily re-enter the cell cycle after removal of imatinib
compounds that modulate these pathways as potential antitumor agents in GIST?

***********but what happens to these cells? can we really mimic what happens in a patient that goes off imatinib? can if they are really quiescent, they should be able to re-enter the cell cycle this is indeed what happens following experiment: treat cells with imatinib for 3 days (most, but not all cells undergo apoptosis) remove imatinib-containing media, replace with regular media follow cells over a period of up to 11 days each day (later every other day) take cells for BrdU and protein extracts what we see is that proliferative activity of cells rapidly declines under imatinib as expected from about 60% to less than 5% on treatment day 3 after removal of imatinib, cells re-enter the cell cycle aproximately after 5 days being in regular media even a rebound effect with a higher percentage of proliferating cells after 9 days, before proliferative index returns to same level as control illustrated here: DMSO control, 3 days imatinib, 9 days after removal of imatinib in parallel, we can see that phosphoKIT immediately rebounds after removal of imatinib levels of SKP2, p27 and cyclin A respond in parallel to what is seen in the BrdU incorporation somewhat delayed
this experiment shows that we are really able to mimic in the tissue culture dish what can possibly happen in a patient who goes off imatinib despite having residual tumor ****************************
