Popis: Imatinib, which has revolutionized chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment, was suggested to improve lipid profile. Statins, a dyslipidemia drug, were reported to potentiate imatinib's antileukemic effect. However, analysis of imatinib combined with statins is lacking. We have retrospectively analyzed the normalization period of bcr-abl, blood counts, and lipids in 40 CML patients, 19 of which co-treated with statins, during short (12 months) and prolonged (12 months) imatinib treatment. Prior statins treatment did not hinder nor sensitized imatinib's anti-leukemic and lipid-lowering effects. CML cells (K562) treated with 1μM imatinib (24-96 h) were further assessed for the expression of central lipid-related genes by real-time PCR. HMGCoAR, LDL-R, and apobec1 expressions were significantly increased while CETP declined after 48-96 h. To conclude, imatinib produces an independent favorable lipid profile, which is not hindered by statins and is partly mediated via transcription regulation of genes involved in the clearance of plasma lipids.
