Perché esiste una specificità di risposta se tutti i segnali attivano le stesse vie?
Perché gli stessi segnali possono attivare risposte diverse?

Riarrangiamenti
Spesso conseguenza di traslocazioni cromosomiche (BCR-ABL, NPM-ALK) o di delezioni intracromosomiche (FIP1-PDGFRa)
Meccanismo più frequente nelle neoplasie ematologiche che nei tumori solidi

Autophosphorylation by dimerization
P
Phosphorylation of substrates
Amplificazioni
Più frequenti nei tumori solidi che nei tumori ematologici (ERB2 nel Ca mammario etc…)
Più frequente per recettori di membrana Meccanismo di attivazione: l’aumento delle
molecole in superficie ne favorisce il contatto anche in assenza di ligando
Mutazioni puntiformi Numerosi esempi sia nei tumori
ematologici (JAK2 in DMPC-Ph-negativi) che nei tumori solidi (KIT nei GIST)
Meccanismo di attivazione: meccanismo di attivazione diretto del dominio TK

The BCR/ABL amount measured by RQ PCR mirrors the number of cells less sensitive to Imatinib
BCR/ABL reduction
The persistent Ph-positive cells less sensitive to imatinib may potentially become prone to
progressionHigher the number, higher the risk!
Two major problems with imatinib therapy
• Resistance/Loss of Response and Progression
• Persistence of small amount of leukemic cells
Otherdefects
Imatinib
Imatinib not able to suppress the BCR-ABL TK
•Point mutations•BCR-ABL amplification•Insufficient IMA in cells

Bcr-Abl off? Bcr-Abl on?
The Imatinib concentration in the progenitor cells, due to the action of influx (OCT-1) and efflux (ABCB1) proteinsseems to represent a major determinant for the persistence-resistance of Ph-positive progenitors

The persistence of Ph-positive cells may be due to: - cells more resistant to imatinib- cells in which the BCR-ABL TK activity may be
suppressed without a great damage

The persistence of Ph-positive cells may be due to: - cells more resistant to imatinib- cells in which the BCR-ABL TK activity may be

The strategy to eradicate the persistence of this tricky Ph+ population must be
appropriate • Combination therapy?• Immunotherapy?
