Valproic Acid 133-142 ABL proto-oncogene 1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase Homo sapiens 178-185 16444746-5 2006 Coexposure of cells to valproate and imatinib was associated with repression of several genes involved in Bcr-Abl transformation. Valproic Acid 23-32 ABL proto-oncogene 1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase Homo sapiens 106-113 16444746-6 2006 In particular, the combination valproate-imatinib downregulated the expression of Bcr-Abl and the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2, which is particularly overexpressed in imatinib-resistant clones. Valproic Acid 31-40 ABL proto-oncogene 1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase Homo sapiens 82-89
