Erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) gene mutations leading to truncations of the cytoplasmic, carboxy-terminal region of EPOR have been described in some patients with primary familial and congenital polycythemia (PFCP), a disorder characterized by isolated erythrocytosis and increased sensitivity of
We have previously shown that circulating progenitor cells in patients with polycythemia vera (PV) are hypersensitive to insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) with respect to erythroid burst formation in serum-free medium, and that this effect occurs through the IGF-I receptor. To investigate the
Polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) are chronic myeloproliferative disorders characterized by an increased incidence of thrombo-hemorrhagic complications. The acquired somatic Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F mutation is present in the majority of PV and ET patients. Because
Polycythemia vera (PV) is a clonal hematologic disease characterized by hyperplasia of the three major bone marrow lineages. PV erythroid progenitor cells display hypersensitivity to several growth factors, which might be caused by an abnormality of tyrosine phosphorylation. In the present study, we
Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and phosphatases (PTPs) play a crucial role in normal cell development, and dysfunction of these enzymes has been implicated in human cancers. Polycythemia vera (PV) is a clonal hematologic disease characterized by hypersensitivity of hematopoietic progenitor cells to
OBJECTIVE
An activating somatic mutation of Janus kinase 2 V617F (JAK2V617F) is present in most polycythemia vera (PV) patients. We studied efficacy of two potent tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), AEE788 and AMN107, in vitro on cells bearing this mutation.
METHODS
We employed reporter cells
Deletion of long arm of chromosome 20 [del(20q)] is the second most frequent recurrent chromosomal abnormality in hematological malignancies. It is detected in 10% of myeloproliferative neoplasms, 4-5% of myelodysplastic syndromes, and 1-2% of acute myeloid leukaemia. Recurrent, non-random
Polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and myeloid metaplasia with myelofibrosis (MMM) are clonal disorders arising from hematopoietic progenitors. An internet-based protocol was used to collect clinical information and biological specimens from patients with these diseases.
Recent studies have shown that Janus tyrosine kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F mutation is found in nearly all patients with polycythemia vera (PV) and underlie the basis of PV molecular pathogenesis. Moreover, JAK2 V617F patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET) have been found to have some clinical
Primary familial and congenital polycythemia (PFCP or familial erythrocytosis) is a rare proliferative disorder of erythroid progenitor cells, characterized by elevated erythrocyte mass and hemoglobin concentration, hypersensitivity of erythroid progenitors to erythropoietin (EPO), and autosomal
OBJECTIVE
An activating mutation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) in majority of polycythemia vera (PV) and other myeloproliferative disorders was reported. As imatinib inhibits several tyrosine kinases, we studied its effect in PV.
METHODS
We employed FDCP reporter cells expressing wild-type JAK2 and
Randomized phase III trials demonstrated superiority of targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors over cytokine-based therapy as first-line therapy for metastatic renal cell carcinoma. However, the rate of complete response (CR) with targeted therapy is smaller than that with cytokine-based
