The gastrointestinal stromal tumor cell line, GIST-T1, has a heterogenic 57-base pair deletion in exon 11 of the c-kit mutation, and the c-KIT protein in the GIST-T1 cells constitutively activated. We report that STI571 (Glivec; Novartis, Basel, Switzerland), a specific inhibitor of c-KIT, inhibits the clustering of c-KIT at the cell membrane of the GIST-T1 cells. Furthermore, STI571 prevents the interaction between c-KIT and the molecular chaperone, heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). Geldanamycin, an inhibitor of Hsp90, also prevents interaction between c-KIT and Hsp90, and inhibits tyrosine phosphorylation of c-KIT. Our results indicate that c-KIT molecules are assembled on the cell surface of the GIST-T1 cells, and that the interaction between c-KIT and Hsp90 plays an important role in c-KIT activation.
