We investigated metabolic pathways responsible for CML surviving Imatinib exposure and its potential therapeutic utility to improve the efficiency of TKI against CML stem cells. The combination of TKI with L-asparaginase reactivated the intinsic apoptotic pathway leading to efficient CML cell death. Thus, targeting glutamine metabolism with the clinically-approved drug Kidrolase, in combination with TKI which suppresses glycolysis, represents an effective and widely applicable therapeutic strategy for eradicating CML stem cells.
