Inhibition of KIT-Glycosylation by 2-Deoxyglucose Abrogates KIT-Signaling and Combination with ABT-263 Synergistically Induces Apoptosis in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor

Positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is frequently used for visualizing gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), which are highly glucose-avid tumors. Dramatic metabolic responses following imatinib treatment indicate a high, KIT-dependent glucose turnover which has be...
