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.
We further show that RKIP is of relevance for <i>RAS</i>-driven myelomonocytic leukemogenesis by demonstrating that <i>Rkip</i> deletion aggravates the development of a myeloproliferative disease in <i>Nras</i><sup>G12D</sup>-mutated mice.
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) controls JAK2 translation and protein stability, and has been implicated in JAK2-driven diseases best exemplified by Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs).
Mutations of <i>SF3B1</i> are commonly seen in myelodysplastic syndromes with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS)and MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN-RS-T).
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.
Mutations in <i>LUC7L2, PRPF8,</i><i>SF3B1</i>, <i>SRSF2</i>, <i>U2AF1</i>, and <i>ZRSR2</i> genes occur at various frequencies ranging between 40% and 85% in different subtypes of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 5% and 10% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
In the current retrospective study, we assessed response rates as adjudicated by the IWG (International Working Group) MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) and MDS/MPN myeloproliferative neoplasm overlap syndrome response criteria, in 121 CMML patients treated with Azacitidine (AZA, n = 56) and Decitabine (DAC, n = 65).
There was a significant interaction between solid and haematological malignancies with loss of association of GDF-15 with outcome in myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disease.

Additionally, <b>18e</b> showed an excellent bioavailability (<i>F</i> = 58%), a suitable half-life time (<i>T</i><sub>1/2</sub> = 4.1 h), a satisfactory metabolic stability, and a weak CYP3A4 inhibitory activity, suggesting that <b>18e</b> might be a potential drug candidate for JAK2-driven myeloproliferative neoplasms and FLT3-internal tandem duplication-driven acute myelogenous leukemia.
Mutations of <i>SF3B1</i> are commonly seen in myelodysplastic syndromes with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS)and MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN-RS-T).
Starting from this observation, we extended our study to a panel of human leukemic cells carrying genetic lesions distinctive of different types of leukemias and myeloproliferative disorders (the BCR-ABL1 translocation and the JAK2V617F amino acid substitution) to dissect the cellular events induced by SOX6.
SIGNIFICANCE: EZH2 inactivation and oncogenic NRAS cooperate to induce leukemic transformation of myeloproliferative neoplasms by activating BCAT1 to enhance BCAA metabolism and mTOR signaling.
A C57BL/6-Tg (ITF-TMEM207) mouse line unexpectedly exhibited a high incidence of a spontaneous condition resembling myeloproliferative disease-like phenotype.
This was initially thought to be secondary to a myeloproliferative disorder but a positron emission tomography scan showed uptake in the left hip which corresponded to what was previously reported as a subchondral cyst on CT. A biopsy showed this to be a plasmacytoma in the context of a normal serum protein electrophoresis and a polyclonal increase in light chains on serum-free light chain estimation.
