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).
Greater HSPC mobilization and extramedullary hematopoiesis were reversed by raising HDL levels in Abca1(-/-)Abcg1(-/-) and Apoe(-/-) mice or in a mouse model of myeloproliferative neoplasm mediated by Flt3-ITD mutation.
In all of the experiments, mice transplanted with expanded MDR1-transduced stem cells developed a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by high peripheral white blood cell counts and splenomegaly.
Greater HSPC mobilization and extramedullary hematopoiesis were reversed by raising HDL levels in Abca1(-/-)Abcg1(-/-) and Apoe(-/-) mice or in a mouse model of myeloproliferative neoplasm mediated by Flt3-ITD mutation.
During the past 10 years, major progress has been accomplished with the discovery of activating mutations that are associated with the vast majority of BCR-ABL negative human myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
In summary, the investigation of JAK2V617F, Exon12_JAK2 and MPLW515K/L was relevant for the diagnosis of 38.4% of patients suspected to have BCR-ABL1-negative MPN, suggesting that molecular genetic tests are useful for a quick and unequivocal diagnosis of MPN.
Chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are clonal disorders of hematopoietic stem cells, which fall into distinct categories based on a number of characteristics including the presence of the BCR-ABL1 gene fusion (chronic myelogenous leukemia) or the JAK2(V617F) mutation (polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis, and essential thrombocythemia).
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder caused by expression of the fusion gene BCR-ABL following a chromosomal translocation in the hematopoietic stem cell.
This review is based on the presentations and deliberations at the XIIth Post-ASH Workshop on BCR-ABL1 positive and negative MPNs that took place on December 12 to 13, 2017, in Atlanta, Georgia, immediately following the 59th American Society of Hematology Meeting.
Key genetic aberrations include the BCR-ABL1 gene rearrangement in Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and JAK2/MPL/CALR aberrations in Philadelphia chromosome-negative MPNs.
Therapeutically validated oncoproteins in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) include BCR-ABL in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and a spectrum of PDGFRA/B mutant proteins that are products of intra- (eg, FIP1L1-PDGFRA) or interchromosomal (eg, ETV6-PDGFRB) gene fusions.
The aim of this study was to verify the association between the polymorphisms of TNF gene (-308G/A and -238 G/A) in BCR-ABL-negative MPN in our population.
Myelofibrosis (MF) is a BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by clonal myeloproliferation, dysregulated kinase signaling, and release of abnormal cytokines.
BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal stem cell disorders defined by proliferation of one or more myeloid lineages, and carry an increased risk of vascular events and progression to myelofibrosis and leukemia.
The diagnosis and management of the BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) of polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) are at an explosive crossroads of scientific investigation and evolving paradigms since the discovery of the tyrosine kinase-activating JAK2V617F mutation in 2005.
Identification of BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase as a driver of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and successful application of small molecule inhibitors of the tyrosine kinases in the clinic have triggered the search for kinase dependent pathways in other Ph-ve MPNs.
BCR/ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are characterized by recurrent mutations in JAK2, CALR, and MPL, each of which has been reported to alter JAK/STAT signaling pathways.
We show that chromosome 1 abnormalities are most frequent in BCR-ABL-negative classic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN): polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF).
