The structure of human ABCG2 bound to the 5D3 Fab and MZ29 inhibitor (PDBid 6ETI) was also used as an initial template for model building and refinement for inward facing ABCG2 structures. The 5D3 Fab and all ligands were removed from the structure, leaving just the ABCG2 TM and NBD domains. The resulting model was rigid body fit in UCSF Chimera48 (link) into the inward facing conformation map of ABCG2 bound to imatinib, MXN, or SN38 and then refined by iterative rounds of manual adjustment in COOT49 (link), with manual placement and real-space refinement of ligands, followed by real-space refinement in phenix.real_space_refine50 (link). Chemical descriptions and refinement restraints for MXN and imatinib were obtained from the CCP451 (link) monomer library and phenix.ready_set. A molecule of SN38 was manually built in JLigand52 (link), and refinement restraints were generated in phenix.ready_set. Final calculation of map vs model FSC was performed by first simulating a map from the refined atomic models to Nyquist frequency using UCSF Chimera, and then using this simulated map to calculate FSC with the final map from Relion autorefine.

In order to provide a more readily available and reproducible cell system (and to avoid the problems seen with existing methods), experimental systems based on tissue culture cell lines may be utilized to monitor the impact of drugs on signaling pathways.
Flow cytometric methods using tissue culture cells have been routinely used for investigating the effects of drugs, for example, inhibitors of Bcr/Abl kinase that are useful in the therapy of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). CML is associated with the Philadelphia chromosome, a genetic translocation that fuses the Abl1 gene on chromosome 9 with part of the BCR gene on chromosome 22. The resulting fusion protein contains a receptor tyrosine kinase that constitutively activates several downstream signaling pathways, including P-STAT5, P-Crkl, P-mTOR, and P—HSF. The Abl kinase is the target of several therapeutics currently used clinically, including imatinib (GLEEVEC™), nilotinib, and dasatinib. These compounds act by inhibiting the tyrosine kinase activity at the receptor level, and also concomitantly inhibit all downstream signaling pathways.
As a representative model of CML, human K562 cell line, which expresses the Bcr/Abl fusion protein and constitutively phosphorylates the downstream STAT5 target (Cytometry 54A; 75-88, 2003), was used in the following experiment. As shown in
Phosphorylated STAT5 (P-STAT5) acts as a transcriptional activator of several target proteins, including Cyclin D. Constitutive expression of Cyclin D (induced by P-STAT5) maintains K562 cells in cell cycle. It was found that exposure to imatinib for 24 hr decreases S-phase (as a marker of cell proliferation) by ˜50%, and further exposure to imatinib for an additional 24 hr decreases S-phase by an additional 50-70% (data not shown).
Time of viral shedding was defined as the number of days from the first viral detection by RT-PCR on nasopharyngeal specimen until the first negative result.
The study was approved by the local ethics committee (ID Prot. 109/2020).

More about "Imatinib"
It works by blocking the activity of the BCR-ABL fusion protein, which is a driver of uncontrolled cell growth in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).
Imatinib has been extensively studied and has revolutionized the treatment of CML, transforming it from a fatal disease to a manageable condition for many patients.
It has also demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of other malignancies, such as Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) and certain types of myelodysplastic syndromes.
In addition to its therapeutic applications, Imatinib is a valuable tool for researchers investigating the underlying mechanisms of cancer and developing new targeted therapies.
