Constitutive JAK2 signaling is central to myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) pathogenesis and results in activation of STAT, PI3K/AKT, and MEK/ERK signaling.
Additionally, we found that heterodimeric S100A8/9 can inhibit the AKT pathway in MPN-derived granulocytes mediated by the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), depending on the CALR mutation status.
In this review, we present some clinical and experimental evidence showing that the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway could represent a therapeutic target in MPNs.
