Oncogenic kit triggers Shp2/Erk1/2 pathway to down-regulate the pro-apoptotic protein Bim and to promote apoptosis resistance in leukemic cells.

Oncogenic mutations leading to persistent kinase activities are implicated in various human malignancies. Thereby, signaling pathway-targeted therapies are powerful customized treatment to eradicate cancer cells. In murine and human leukemia cells harboring mutations in Kit, we previously showed tha...
