PG - 1404-9 AB - ZD6474 (Zactima, AstraZeneca, Macclesfield, UK) is an orally available, small-molecule inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 and epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases, with additional activity versus rearranged during transfection (RET). This study explored the effect of ZD6474 in gastrointestinal stromal tumor-T1 (GIST-T1) cells that possess a gain of function mutation in exon 11 of the c-KIT gene. ZD6474 induced growth arrest and apoptosis of GIST-T1 cells in association with blockade of c-Kit and its downstream effectors, including Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). ZD6474 treatment also blocked the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which lies downstream of Akt and ERK. Interestingly, when ZD6474 was combined with sunitinib (SU11248; Sutent, Pfizer, Kalamazoo, MI, USA), a class III and V receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, the ZD6474-mediated growth inhibition was potentiated in association with further down-regulation of the mTOR targets p-p70S6K and p-4E-BP-1. The combination of ZD6474 and sunitinib should be investigated further.
