Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) controls JAK2 translation and protein stability, and has been implicated in JAK2-driven diseases best exemplified by Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs).
AURKA contributes to Janus-kinase-2 (JAK2) activation and increased AURKA protein levels were reported in CD34+ and CD41+ cells of myeloproliferative neoplasm patients, leading to aneuploidy and aberrant megakaryopoiesis.
Developing Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitors has become a significant focus for small-molecule drug discovery programs in recent years because the inhibition of JAK2 may be an effective approach for the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasm.
Identification of janus kinase 2 (JAK2) mutation even in absence of myeloproliferative disorders (MPNs) was found to be related to venous thromboembolism occurrence.
Primary and post-ET/PV myelofibrosis are myeloproliferative neoplasms harboring in most cases driving mutations in JAK2, CALR or MPL, and a variable number of additional mutations in other genes.
The most prominent genes of this locus are programmed death ligands 1 and 2 (PDL1/PDL2), with the amplification of PDL1 being a hallmark of both classical Hodgkin and primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma, and Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), which is point-mutated in myeloproliferative neoplasms and other myeloid malignancies, and rearranged in PCM1-JAK2-positive myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophila.
JAK2 variants were detected at a higher frequency in the MPN>AML cohort (15.3%) in comparison with the MPN (4.6%; P < .001) and AML cohorts (5.2%; P < .001).
The identification of JAK2 mutations as disease-initiating in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) has led to new and effective therapies for these diseases.
The V617F mutation in the JH2 domain of JAK2 is an oncogenic driver in several myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including essential thrombocythemia, myelofibrosis, and polycythemia vera (PV).
Activating mutations in JAK2 have been described in patients with various hematologic malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myeloproliferative neoplasms.
Sequential genotyping for phenotype-driver mutations in JAK2 (exon 14), CALR (exon 9), and MPL (exon 10) is recommended in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms.
The hallmark of <i>BCR-ABL1</i>-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) is the presence of a driver mutation in <i>JAK2, CALR</i>, or <i>MPL</i> gene.
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) driver mutations are usually found in JAK2, MPL, and CALR genes; however, 10%-15% of cases are triple negative (TN).
The Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) share similar molecular characteristics in that they frequently harbor hotspot mutations in JAK2, CALR or MPL, leading to activated JAK/STAT signaling.
The Janus kinase 2 (<i>JAK2</i>) V617F mutation is common in patients with breakpoint cluster region-Abelson1 (<i>BCR-ABL1</i>)-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, including polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis, but is rarely detected in <i>BCR-ABL1-</i>positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients.
