LY294002 Is a Promising Inhibitor to Overcome Sorafenib Resistance in FLT3-ITD Mutant AML Cells by Interfering With PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway

Internal tandem duplications (ITD) mutation within FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), the most frequent mutation happens in almost 20% acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, always predicts a poor prognosis. As a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, sorafenib is clinically used for the treatmen...
