In 1992, a deficiency of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) activity was suggested to be the proximal cause of ABL [4]. | |||||||||||||||

In 1992, a deficiency of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) activity was suggested to be the proximal cause of ABL [4]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Imatinib was one of the first successful targeted therapies, initially developed as a specific inhibitor of the bcr-abl kinase aberrantly expressed in chronic myelogenous leukemia. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Such long-term experience in ABL is relevant particularly since pharmacological MTP inhibition has recently been proposed as a therapeutic option for patients with severe hypercholesterolemia [22]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The clinical presentation is very heterogeneous and previous reports had suggested that MTP deficiency is not the sole cause of ABL [11]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Imatinib mesylate (Glivec®) was originally developed for tailored inhibition of the oncoprotein bcr-abl in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and is today part of CML standard therapies. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Patients with unresectable and metastatic gastro-intestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have an improved PFS and overall survival when they are treated with imatinib.56 Imatinib is an oral tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor whose mechanism of action is not inhibition of angiogenesis – it acts mainly by inhibiting the activity of the fusion protein bcr-abl. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Eight mice lacking apoB100 (Mttp? | |||||||||||||||

|
Imatinib mesylate is a selective inhibitor of bcr-abl, PRGFR alpha, beta and c-kit. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Imatinib mesylate is a potent, selective inhibitor of PDGFR alpha (PDGFRa), PDGFR beta (PDGFRb), BCR-abl, KIT, ARG and c-FMS protein-tyrosine kinases [12,14]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Because pharmacologic inhibition of MTP is being developed as a novel approach to reduce plasma cholesterol for prevention of cardiovascular disease, defining the long-term clinical features of patients with a natural deficiency in MTP might provide some insight into the possible effects of such treatments. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In addition, the inhibition of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MTP), a mitochondrial channel which mediates cell death at the time of myocardial reperfusion by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation and inducing mitochondrial swelling (Hausenloy and Yellon 2003), has been identified as a downstream target of the RISK pathway (Davidson et al 2006; Bopassa et al 2006). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Abetalipoproteinemia, a genetic disorder characterized by low plasma cholesterol and TG levels, is caused by a functional deficiency of MTP. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
This finding led to the suggestion that MTP inhibition could be used as a possible lipid lowering therapy. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
By blocking MTP, JTT-130 reduced the secretion of VLDL particles, and therefore, the formation of LDL in the plasma. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Because of this, we speculate that due to MTP inhibition, less TG were transferred to the chylomicron particle being packaged in the intestine. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
MTP inhibitors may be used to promote weight loss [19], but they may have detrimental side effects, such as fat accumulation in the liver and small intestine. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
This study also demonstrates that MTP inhibitor which is mainly targeted towards the intestine may open a new avenue for treatment of hyperlipidemic patients who are at high risk for cardiovascular diseases.
| |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Certain animal and human studies [6,7] have shown that the inhibition of MTP blocks the hepatic secretion of VLDL and the intestinal secretion of chylomicrons. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
It is believed that blocking MTP will not only reduce plasma total and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) but also plasma VLDL and TG by affecting the packaging and secretion of VLDL and chylomicrons. | |||||||||||||||
