Differential vascular endothelial cell toxicity of established and novel BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have dramatically improved survival in Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemias. Newer BCR-ABL TKIs provide superior cancer outcomes but with increased risk of acute arterial thrombosis, which further increases in patients with cardiovascular comorbidities and mitigates survival benefits compared to imatinib. Recent studies implicate endothelial cell (EC) damage in this toxicity by unknown mechanisms with few side-by-side comparisons of multiple TKIs and with no available data on endothelial impact of recently approved TKIs or novels TKIs being tested in clinical trials. To characterize BCR-ABL TKI induced EC dysfunction we exposed primary human umbilical vein ECs in 2D and 3D culture to clinically relevant concentrations of seven BCR-ABL TKIs an
