Neurotrophic tropomyosin receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusions are well-established oncogenic drivers in various cancers, including rare pediatric and adult malignancies. TRK inhibitors, developed to target these fusions, have significantly improved outcomes in NTRK-fusion cancers. However, resistance to first-generation inhibitors often emerges due to mutations such as G639R in NTRK2, which alters drug binding. Researchers have explored second-generation TRK inhibitors like BPI-28592, demonstrating efficacy in overcoming resistant mutations through its targeted binding and inhibition of TRK signaling. This work highlights the importance of stable cell lines, such as Ba/F3 cells expressing mutated forms of NTRK, in investigating the mechanisms of resistance and testing potential therapeutic candidates. These cell lines provide a robust platform to simulate in vivo conditions and assess drug responses in cancer research.

Creative Biogene offers the Human ETV6-NTRK2-G639R Stable Cell Line - BaF3, a reliable tool for similar studies on TRK inhibitor resistance. This cell line supports research on TRK-fusion cancers by enabling detailed investigation into the function of resistant mutations, providing valuable insights for drug development and therapeutic strategies.
