Imatinib Treatment of GIST882

ABSTRACT: Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor frequently harbor mutations in the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase and depend on its activity for growth. This underlies the efficacy of imatinib, a inhibitor of KIT activity, in GIST management. GIST882 is a patient derived GIST cell line that harbor a K640E exon 13 KIT mutation and is sensitive to imatinib treatment. To analyze the downstream effect of KIT inhibition, GIST882 cells were treated for 8 hours with 1μM Imatinib. GIST882 cells were treated in triplicate with 0.1% DMSO or 1μM Imatinib for 8 hours. RNA was isolated and analyzed by Illumina Human HT-12 beadarray.
