Abstract Text Although imatinib showed high activity for advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and improved the prognosis of GIST patients, resistance to the drug appears with prolonged use. Mechanisms of acquired resistance are still under investigation. In the present study, we carried out histologic and genetic analysis of 45 secondary resistant lesions obtained from 25 Japanese GIST patients treated with imatinib. All resistant lesions showed viable tumor cells expressing KIT protein, whereas imatinib-sensitive lesions did not. All pre-imatinib samples have KIT mutations either in exon 9 (n = 3) or exon 11 (n = 22), identified in the KIT gene of corresponding resistant tumors. In addition to primary mutations, 33 out of 45 tumors (73%) showed secondary KIT mutations in the kinase domain of the KIT gene. Secondary mutations are missense mutations and are mostly located in the kinase domains of the same allele to the primary mutations (cis-position). Resistant lesions showed monoclonal development of tumor cells. Taken together, additional cis-positioned mutations in the kinase domains are a major cause of secondary resistance to imatinib in Japanese GIST patients.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows where any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a spaces, order doesn't matter (a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page, filtering has no impact on query parameters
  • Use quotes to match a longer phrase which contains spaces "mtor c1483f"

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending, however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column, be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column, before moving on to the next column.

D820V missense unknown KIT D820V lies within the protein kinase domain of the Kit protein (UniProt.org). D820V has been identified as a secondary mutation associated with imatinib resistant (PMID: 18294292), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Kit protein function is unknown (PubMed, Mar 2019). Y
K558N missense unknown KIT K558N lies within the juxtamembrane domain (exon 11) of the Kit protein (PMID: 16226710). K558N has been identified in sequencing studies (PMID: 18294292), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Kit protein function is unknown (PubMed, Mar 2019).
