STI571 (Glivec) induces cell death in the gastrointestinal stromal tumor cell line, GIST-T1, via endoplasmic reticulum stress response

Abstract: Abstract. STI571 is a specific inhibitor of tyrosine kinases, such as BCR-ABL, platelet-derived growth factor receptor, and c-KIT, and has recently been approved for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). This study demonstrated that STI571 induces cell death in the gastrointestinal stromal tumor cell line, GIST-T1. In these cells, STI571 induced pro-caspase-12 or pro-caspase-7 cleavage and it affected caspase-3 activity and induced the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)… Show more

“…As expected, 2DG caused ER stress and elicited the unfolded protein response (UPR). To our surprise, IM did not induce ER-stress or UPR, which differs from previous findings by Nakatani et al, who demonstrated induction of GRP78 by imatinib albeit at a higher concentration of ~2μM [ 33 ]. In combined treatment, ER-stress and the UPR could be important complementary effects of 2DG, reducing TKI-induced quiescence and promoting the apoptotic response.…”

“…Other studies documented expression of a 50-kD BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org caspase-12 in human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60) 48 and a 60-kD caspase-12 in human gastrointestinal stromal tumors (STI571). 45 It is not clear how a 52-or 60-kD caspase-12 protein can be expressed in the presence of a stop codon; however, these studies raise the possibility that the 52-or 60-kD pro-caspase-12 could be aberrantly expressed in cells undergoing pathologic changes.…”

“…We and others have previously found that imatinib‐induced apoptosis occurs in GIST cells and human tumor tissue (McAuliffe et al., 2009; Trent et al., 2006). In imatinib‐sensitive GIST cells, apoptosis occurs partly through the BIM upregulation and its subsequent antagonism of pro‐survival Bcl‐2 proteins, but also through a variety of other intracellular stresses, including H2AX‐mediated transcriptional arrest and ER stress, which also activate the intrinsic pathway of apoptosis (Liu et al., 2007; Nakatani et al., 2006). However, apoptosis is not the only effect of imatinib treatment, even in sensitive models.…”
