Although imatinib has therapeutic activity for certain subsets of patients with mastocytosis, it is not always curative. Here, molecular mechanisms that confer imatinib resistance to neoplastic mast cells were investigated using an imatinib‐sensitive canine neoplastic mast cell line VI‐MC carrying aKITc.1523A>T activating mutation. Two imatinib‐resistant sublines were established by culturing VI‐MC cells in increasing concentrations of imatinib (1μM resistant, rVI‐MC1; 10μM resistant, rVI‐MC10). Both sublines had a secondKITmutation c.2443G>C. Recombinant KIT with the second mutation was insensitive to 1μM but sensitive to 10μM imatinib. The effect of imatinib on the phosphorylation of KIT and its downstream signalling proteins was then examined using these sublines. KIT and ERK were constitutively phosphorylated in both sublines, and their phosphorylation was suppressed by 10μM imatinib in rVI‐MC1 cells. However, KIT but not ERK phosphorylation was suppressed in rVI‐MC10 cells. The phosphorylation of ERK in rVI‐MC10 cells was also not diminished by the Src family kinase (SFK) inhibitor dasatinib. This second mutation inKITmay play an important role in imatinib resistance in neoplastic mast cells. Furthermore, KIT/SFK‐independent activation of ERK would be involved in imatinib resistance when the neoplastic cells are exposed to higher concentrations of imatinib.
