Abstract Background Dasatinib is a potent multi-targeted kinase inhibitor that was recently approved for treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia resistant to imatinib. To aid the clinical development of dasatinib in prostate cancer we utilized preclinical models to identify potential molecular markers for patient stratification and efficacy monitoring. Results Using gene expression profiling we first identified 1 74 genes whose expression was highly correlated with in vitro sensitivity of 16 cell lines and thus considered as candidate efficacy predictive markers. Among these are important prostatic cell lineage markers cytokeratin 5 androgen receptor and prostate specific antigen. Our results indicate that basal type cell lines with high expression of cytokeratin 5 and low expression of androgen receptor or prostate specific antigen are sensitive to dasatinib. To identify markers as surrogates for biological activity we treated cell lines with dasatinib .
