Abstract

BACKGROUND: Systemic chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin is standard of care for patients with metastatic urothelial bladder cancer. However, resistance formation is common after initial response. The protein Src is known as a proto-oncogene, which is overexpressed in various human cancers. Since there are controversial reports about the role of Src in bladder cancer, we evaluated the efficacy of the Src kinase inhibitor dasatinib in the urothelial bladder cancer cell line RT112 and its gemcitabine-resistant sub-line RT112

METHODS: RT112 urothelial cancer cells were adapted to growth in the presence of 20 ng/ml gemcitabine (RT112

RESULTS: Dasatinib exerted similar effects on Src signaling in RT112 and RT112

CONCLUSION: Dasatinib should be considered with care for the treatment of urothelial cancer, in particular for therapy-refractory cases.
