We expressed c-KIT cDNA constructs encoding the V654A substitution alone and in combination with a typical activating exon 11 mutation characteristic of GIST, V560G, in factor-dependent FDC-P1 cells.

These studies suggest that SU11248 may be a useful therapeutic agent to treat gastrointestinal stromal tumors harboring the imatinib-resistant KIT-V654A or KIT-T670I mutations, but it has no effect on the activity of the PDGFRA-D842V mutant.

GIST cells carrying KIT -del557-558/T670I or KIT -InsAY502-503/V654A mutations were resistant to imatinib, while PKC412 significantly inhibited autophosporylation of these mutants.
