Abstract

Targeted drugs for the treatment of oncological diseases, in particular, the inhibitors of Sunitinib and Sorafenib, are widely used in oncological practice and the study of the peculiarities of their application is very relevant. On the models of cultured cancer cells in vitro it was shown that kinase inhibitors are able to strengthen the expression of tumor progression genes (SNAI1, SNAI2, CD44, CDH1, CLDN1) associated with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The activation of such genes is shown under the action of low doses of tyrosine kinase inhibitors - Sunitinib and Sorafenib. The activation of the studied genes was different in different cultures and depended on the applied drug. It was assumed that due to the local uneven distribution of drugs in tissues of the tumor, kinase inhibitors may be one of the reasons for activating the expression of genes associated with the epithelial- mesenchymal transition, and thus contribute to its progression.
