Enhanced Bcr-Abl-specific antileukemic activity of arsenic trioxide through glutathione-depletion in imatinib-resistant cells

The development of resistance to imatinib mesylate may partly depend on high Bcr-Abl-expression levels. Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has Bcr-Abl suppressing activity in vitro. Here we investigated means to improve ATO activity in CML by modulating cellular glutathione (GSH), a key regulator of ATO-activit...
