Full textAbstract:
Chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (CMPN), Ph-negative, are of clonal nature, develop on the level of hematopoietic stem cell and are characterized by proliferation of one or more hematopoietic pathways. Currently, the group of Ph-negative CMPN includes essential thrombocythemia, primary myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera, myeloproliferative neoplasm unclassifiable.Identification of mutations in the Jak2 (V617F), CALR, and MPL genes extended understanding of biological features of Ph-negative CMPN and improved differential diagnosis of myeloid neoplasms. Nonetheless, clinical practice still encounters difficulties in clear separation between such disorders as primary myelofibrosis, early-stage and transformation of essential thrombocythemia into myelofibrosis with high thrombocytosis. Thrombocytosis is one of the main risk factors for thromboembolic complications, especially in elderly people.A clinical case of an elderly patient with fracture of the left femur developed in the context of Ph-negative CMPN (myelofibrosis) with high level of thrombocytosis is presented which in combination with enforced long-term immobilization and presence of additional risk created danger of thrombosis and hemorrhage during surgery and in the postoperative period.

Abstract Objectives and background: Genetic mutations result in abnormalities of myelopoietic proteins and lie in the basis of Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) development and its subsequent progression. Several somatic mutations in JAK2, MPL, TET2, EZH2, ASXL1, CBL, IDH1, IDH2, IKZF1 genes were detected in chronic and blastic phase MPNs. Recent studies have revealed a number of epigenetic alterations that contribute to Ph-negative MPNs pathogenesis and determine the clinical outcome. Mutations involving the EZH2 gene are thought to result in loss of methyltransferase activity suggesting a potential role of tumor suppressor gene silencing as a mechanism in the disease progression. Decrease in ubiquitin ligase activity caused by mutations CBL gene leads to myeloid proliferation. EZH2, CBL mutations are thought to be of prognostic value in MPN’s at the time of transformation to the blastic phase but data are inconsistent and require the further verification.The goal of our research was to determine the significance of mutations genes EZH2, CBL in the diagnosis and prognosis of Ph-negative MPNs. Methods. We have examined 102 patients with Ph-negative MPNs (45 pts with PV, 30 pts with ET and 27 pts with PMF). For all patients the detection of V617F mutation of JAK2 gene was done. V617F-negative pts with PV and pts with ET or PMF underwent the analysis of mutations in 12-th exon of JAK2 and 515 codone of MPL gene respectively. For 80 pts (30 with PV, 28 with ET and 22 with PMF) cytogenetic analysis and EZH2 mutation status were performed. Identification of CBL mutations was performed in 24 patients with available RNA samples. Mutations in 8, 10, 17, 18, 19 exons of EZH2 and RING-domen of CBL were defined by sequence analysis. V617FJAK2 mutation was detected in 44/45 (97,8%) pts with PV, 16/30 (53,3%) pts with ET and 13/27 (48,1%) pts with PMF. 538-539del-insL in 12-th exon of JAK2 was found in 1/45 (2,22%) patient with PV. W515KMPL mutation was identified in 1/30 (3,33%) pt with ET and 1/27 (3,7%) pt with PMF. 2 mutations of EZH2 gene have been found in 2 individuals with PMF (2/22). Both mutations are located in the 19 exon. The Ile713Thr mutation was detected in the patient with a del(6)(q15) karyotype which is associated with an intermediate cytogenetics risk. This patient subsequently underwent transformation from PMF to myelodysplastic syndrome in 9 months after the disease onset. Another case of mutation harboring (Thr731Asp) was detected in a patient with PMF and poor prognosis karyotype (chromosome 7 monosomy). This patient had transformation PMF to acute myeloid leukemia and died after 20 months. Homozygous mutation Q420R in CBL gene was detected in 1/24 patient with complex karyotype. Disease progression was observed after 16 months from the diagnosis. Conclusion. Mutations in EZH2 and CBL genes could be assessed as additional prognostic markers of unfavourable prognosis in patients with BCR-ABL-negative MPNs with different chromosomal aberrations. The integration of cytogenetic and molecular analyses could be a valuable option for stratification of patients and optimising the treatment strategy. References: Tefferi A.

Full textAbstract:
The diagnosis of a myeloid neoplasm relies on a combination of clinical, morphological, immunophenotypic and genetic features, and an integrated, multimodality approach is needed for precise classification. The basic diagnostics of myeloid neoplasms still rely on cell counts and morphology of peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate, flow cytometry, cytogenetics and bone marrow trephine biopsy, but particularly in the setting of Ph− myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), the trephine biopsy has a crucial role. Nowadays, molecular studies are of great importance in confirming or refining a diagnosis and providing prognostic information. All myeloid neoplasms of chronic evolution included in this review, nowadays feature the presence or absence of specific genetic markers in their diagnostic criteria according to the current WHO classification, underlining the importance of molecular studies. Crucial differential diagnoses of Ph− MPN are the category of myeloid/lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and gene rearrangement of PDGFRA, PDGFRB or FGFR1, or with PCM1-JAK2, and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MDS/MPN). This review focuses on morphological, immunophenotypical and molecular features of BCR-ABL1-negative MPN and their differential diagnoses. Furthermore, areas of difficulties and open questions in their classification are addressed, and the persistent role of morphology in the area of molecular medicine is discussed.

Abstract According to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues, myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms are clonal myeloid neoplasms that have some clinical, laboratory, or morphologic findings that support a diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome, and other findings that are more consistent with myeloproliferative neoplasms. These disorders include chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (BCR-ABL1 negative), juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, and myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms, unclassifiable. The best characterized of these latter unclassifiable conditions is the provisional entity defined as refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts associated with marked thrombocytosis. This article focuses on myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms of adulthood, with particular emphasis on chronic myelomonocytic leukemia and refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts associated with marked thrombocytosis. Recent studies have partly clarified the molecular basis of these disorders, laying the groundwork for the development of molecular diagnostic and prognostic tools. It is hoped that these advances will soon translate into improved therapeutic approaches.

Abstract Objectives and background. Nowadays chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) other than chronic myelogenous leukemia undergo renaissance of interest. It results from advances in decryption of molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis and invention of target drugs. Epidemiological information is needed to assess potential effect and additional costs of new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. The objective of our study was to review experience of MPN diagnostic and treatment in our center for past ten years. Methods. Our institution serves as primary hematological outpatient department for a half of Saint-Petersburg city with about 2 million inhabitants. We reviewed patients' charts to obtain information about incidence, symptoms, diagnostic test results, treatment options and relationship to prognostic factors. Statistical methods included descriptive statistics, nonparametric ANOVA for frequencies comparisons and Kaplan-Meyer method with log-rank test for survival comparisons in Statistica 7.0 package. Results. Since 2004 to 2013 there were 570 newly diagnosed MPN patients (pts) in our center. This group consisted of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) (203 pts; 126 female, 77 male; median age 63 years, range 16-83 years), essential thrombocythemia (ET) (201 pts; 146 female, 55 male; median age 58 years, range 23-78 years), polycythemia vera (PV) (166 pts; 96 female, 70 male; median age 57 years, range 20-85 years). The incidence rates were stable during study period: PMF incidence varied from 0.65 to 1.35 with mean of 1.01 new patient per 100 000 inhabitants per year; ET had incidence from 0.60 to 2.1 with mean of 1.00 and PV had incidence from 0.5 to 1.15 with mean of 0.83. The most prevalent symptoms of disease were: splenomegaly (65.5%), constitutional symptoms (fever, night sweats, weight loss) (31.0%), anemia (36.3%) thrombosis (24.1%) for PMF; fatigue (33.2%), headache and dizziness (25.6%), arthralgia (21.8%), erythromelalgia (15.8%) for ET; plethora (82.5%), headache and dizziness (52.4%), fatigue (31.3%) for PV. JAK2V617F was detected in 49.7% of PMF pts, 57.8% of ET pts and in 97.7% of PV pts. Thrombosis rates according WHO IPSET-thrombosis system risks` groups of ET and PV pts were: low-risk group 3.33% (3/90), intermediate-risk group 11.1% (13/117) and 39.4% (63/160) in high-risk group with highly significant (p<0.0001) differences between risks' groups. There were 169 lethal outcomes in the analysed group (102 PMF; 31 ET; 36 PV). Ten-years overall survival rates were 49.8% in PMF pts, 84.6% in ET pts and 78.3% in PV pts. (fig.1). Overall survival in PMF was significantly influenced by risk stratification as IPSS, DIPSS and DIPSS+. Survival curves according DIPSS+ groups are presented in fig.1. Conclusions. Patients with MPN are presented in substantial number; therefore need much finance for novel therapy introduction. Risk stratification systems has high predictive value. Innovative drugs treatment results should be evaluated in comparison with historical control. Figure1 Overall survival in PMF patients according to DIPPS+ stratification groups. Figure1.

Abstract Introduction: The development of next-generation sequencing has made it feasible to interrogate the entire genome or exome (coding genome) in a single experiment. Accordingly, our knowledge of the somatic mutations that cause cancer has increased exponentially in the last years. MPNs and MDS/MPD are chronic myeloid neoplasms characterized by an increased proliferation of one or more hematopoietic cell lineages, and an increased risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). MPNs and MDS/MPDs are heterogenous disorders, both in clinical presentation and in prognosis. We sought to determine the genetic landscape of Ph-negative MPNs and MDS/MPD through next-generation sequencing. Methods: Paired DNA (sorted CD66b-granulocytes/skin biopsy) from 102 patients with MPNs or MDS/MPD was subjected to whole exome sequencing on a Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform using Agilent SureSelect kit. Diagnosis included primary myelofibrosis (MF; N=42), essential thrombocythemia (ET; N=28), polycythemia vera (PV; N=12), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML; N=10), systemic mastocytosis (MS; N=6), MDS/MPD-Unclassified (N=2) and post-MPN AML (N=2). Tumor coverage was 150x and germline coverage was 60x. Somatic variants calls were generated by combining the output of Somatic Sniper (Washington University), Mutect (Broad Institute) and Pindel (Washington University). The combined output of these 3 tools was further filtered by in-house criteria in order to reduce false-positive calls (minimum coverage at both tumor/germline ≥8 reads; fraction of reads supporting alternate allele ≥10% in tumor and ≤10% in germline; ratio of allele fraction tumor:germline >2; excluding mutations seen in SNP databases). All JAK2 and CALR mutations were validated through Sanger sequencing. Validation of other somatic mutations is currently underway. Analysis of driver mutations was made with the Intogen web-based software, using the Oncodrive-FM and Oncodrive-cluster algorithms (www.intogen.org). Significantly mutated genes were considered as those with a q-value of <0.10. Results: We identified a total of 309 somatic mutations in all patients, with each patient having an average of 3 somatic abnormalities, fewer than most solid tumors that have been sequenced so far. Mutations occurred in 166 genes, and 40 of these were recurrently somatically mutated in Ph-negative MPNs. By the Oncodrive-FM algorithm, the following genes were identified as the most significantly mutated driver genes in Ph-negative MPNs and MDS/MPDs (in order of significance): CALR, ASXL1, JAK2, CBL, DNMT3A, U2AF1, TET2, TP53, RUNX1, EZH2, SH2B3 and KIT. By the Oncodrive-cluster algorithm, which considers clustering of mutations at a hotspot, the following genes were significantly mutated: KIT, JAK2, SRSF2 and U2AF1. Somatic mutations were seen in genes that are mutated at a low frequency in Ph-negative MPNs, including ATRX, BCL11A, BCORL1, BIRC5, BRCC3, CSF2RB, CUX1, IRF1, KDM2B, ROS1 and SUZ12. Consistent with the clinical phenotype, 96 patients (94%) had mutations that lead to increased cellular proliferation, either through activation of the JAK-STAT pathway (e.g. JAK2, CALR) or mutations that activated directly or indirectly signaling by receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g. FLT3, KIT, CBL). Besides biological pathways regulating cell proliferation, the most commonly implicated pathways included regulation of DNA methylation (e.g. DNMT3A, TET2), mRNA splicing (e.g. U2AF1, SRSF2) and histone modifications (e.g. ASXL1, EZH2), seen in 27%, 25% and 22% of patients, respectively. Abnormalities in these 3 pathways were more often seen in MF, MDS/MPD and CMML, as compared to PV and ET (65% vs. 20%; p<0.0001). Conclusions: Our study represents one of the largest series of patients with these neoplasms evaluated by whole exome sequencing, and together with the published data helps to delineate the genomic landscape of Ph-negative MPNs and MDS/MPDs. The majority of the most frequent mutations seen in Ph-negative MPNs have already been reported. Nevertheless, there are several low frequency mutations that need to be further studied and functionally validated in vitro and in vivo for a deeper knowledge of the pathophysiology of MPNs. Besides activation of cellular proliferation, abnormalities of DNA methylation, histone modification and mRNA splicing emerge as the most important biological pathways in these disorders.

Abstract Abstract 3078 Chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (CMNs) include Polycythemia Vera (PV), Essential Thrombocythemia (ET), and Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF). So far limited studies of familial clusters of CMNs have been reported.Familial chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms are defined when in the same pedigree at least two relatives have CMNs. Familial CMNs should be distinguished from inherited disorders with Mendelian transmission, high penetrance and polyclonal haematopoiesis named ‘hereditary erythrocytosis' and ‘hereditary thrombocytosis'. Recently a 5- to 7-fold higher risk of MPN among first-degree relatives of patients with MPNs was reported. These findings support the limited studies suggesting a familial clustering in MPNs. The analysis of mutations of JAK2 and MPL may improve our ability to identify these conditions. In a consecutive series of patients observed in our Institution from January 2000 to June 2010, we found that among 460 patients with sporadic CMNs and 94 Ph1 positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), the prevalence of familial cases was 4%.With 22 pedigrees, 44 patients (8%) were identified with two relatives affected. Familial CMNs were 11 PV,14 ET,7 PMF, 5 CML respectively, while sporadic cases were 96 PV,204 ET,115 PMF and with other 45 CMNS not furtherly classified. As far as the distribution of the different CMNs within the familial cluster, We observed that only in 4 of 22 families (18%) all the affected relatives were diagnosed with the same disease (homogeneous pattern: PV one family and ET three families), whereas 14 families exhibited a mixed distribution among PV, ET and PMF. 8 families exhibited CMNs associated with other hematological disease such as chrocic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), myelodisplastic syndrome (MDS). Among this, 6 families presented a first or second degree of relationship of first and second generation. In 10 cases the relatives were brothers, affected by familial CMNs with a prevalence of PV and TE clinical phenotype at diagnosis.According to JAK2 (V617F) mutational status, analyzed in 30 out of 44 patients, 19 patients showed a positivity pattern, while 18 families showed a heterogeneous pattern; they included both JAK2 (V617F) -positive and JAK2 (V617F)-negative patients. Among the 19 patients with JAK2 (V617F) positivity, the distribution of positivity according to the diagnosis was 100% of PV, 45% of ET and 55%of PMF; homozygosity was present only in PV cases. In our series, only two members of the same family were affected by familial CMNs. Finally it should be noted that in our series of familial cases clinical presentation, therapeutic approach and type and severity of complications were comparable to that of sporadic cases. In conclusion, the present study indicates the relevant possibility of familial CMNs, thus suggesting the opportunity of a detailed family history as part of the initial work-up of patients with CMDs; in addition it also suggests the usefulness of an accurate biological study.

Introduction. The Myeloproliferative Neoplasms are a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by increased proliferation of the myeloid lineages in the bone marrow. A particular clinical challenge is presented by certain situations in patients with myeloproliferative Neoplasms, which we do not encounter daily. For this reason, in this paper, we will emphasize the approach to overcoming obstacles in patients with Myeloproliferative Neoplasms in specific settings, like pregnancy. Pregnancy with Philadelphia chromosome-negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms has been reported to be associated with maternal thrombosis, hemorrhage, and placental dysfunction leading to fetal growth restriction or loss. Thrombocytosis, leucocytosis, high level of hematocrit, activation of Platelets, leucocytes, and circulating pro-thrombotic are connected with the pathogenesis of thrombosis in MPNs With survival expectations similar to age-matched controls and excellent response and worldwide access to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, family planning is increasingly important for many patients with chronic myeloid leukemia. All patients were managed by a multidisciplinary team of physicians with obligatory hematological and gynecologistsobstetrician consultations.

Abstract Deregulation of tyrosine-kinases is a characteristic of most Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN); evolution from chronic phase to acute leukemia depends on the acquisition of additional mutations. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), the production of which is increased by tyrosine-kinase activation, can be responsible for additional mutations. The role of ROS in generating genetic aberrations has been mainly studied in BCR-ABL-positive cell lines. Little is known of ROS metabolism in primary cells from CML or Philadelphia-negative MPN (Ph-MPN). After informed consent, cells from blood or bone marrow were obtained from patients diagnosed with CML (12 bone marrow (BM), 8 peripheral blood (PB)), or Ph-MPN (4 Polycythemia Vera, 6 Essential Thrombocythemia, 3 Primary Myelofibroses, 2 atypical CML) and from healthy donors (bone marrow donors) or patients devoid of hematological disease undergoing thoracotomy. Cells were incubated with DCFDA, a fluorogenic marker of ROS production, labelled with an anti-CD45 antibody, stimulated with either the oxidant hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or the PKC activator Phorbol Myristate Acetate (PMA), and analysed for ROS production by flow cytometry. CD45/SSC gating allowed separate analysis of granulocytes, monocytes or lymphocytes. The basal level of ROS was not higher in CML cells as compared to normal BM or PB leukocytes. It was even significantly lower in CML lymphocytes, either from the BM (2.35 Arbitrary Units vs 8.3 AU, p=5.5 10−5) or PB (2.47 AU vs 7.4 AU, p=3.10−5) and in CML granulocytes from peripheral blood (14 AU vs 45 AU, p =10 −5), but not bone marrow. The ROS levels of Ph-MPN cells were similar or slightly higher than control cells. Upon H2O2 stimulation however, ROS production increased significantly more in CML cells as compared to normal cells (6 fold increase), whatever the cell type (granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes) or their origin (PB or BM). In contrast, for Ph-MPN cells, H2O2-stimulated ROS production was close to that of normal cells, with only BM lymphocytes showing ROS generation four fold higher than control BM lymphocytes. After PMA stimulation, which yielded a more modest ROS production than H2O2, CML cells behaved similarly to normal cells, whereas ROS production was four fold higher in Ph-MPN cells, whatever their type and origin. In conclusion, ROS levels at the basal stage are not higher in MPN cells, whether they are Philadelphia positive or negative, as compared to normal cells. Various kinds of stimulation induce different patterns of response, CML cells being more sensitive to oxidants whereas Ph-MPN cells respond more to the cytokine-mimicking agent PMA. These results suggest that the mechanisms of ROS generation and thus of genetic instability are different in CML and Ph-MPN.

Full textAbstract:
Progression in Ph-chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) develops with variable incidence and time sequence in essential thrombocythemia, polycythemia vera, and primary myelofibrosis. These diseases show different clinic-pathologic features and outcomes despite sharing deregulated JAK/STAT signaling due to mutations in either the Janus kinase 2 or myeloproliferative leukemia or CALReticulin genes, which are the primary drivers of the diseases, as well as defined diagnostic criteria and biomarkers in most cases. Progression is defined by the development or worsening of marrow fibrosis or the progressive increase in the marrow blast percentage. Progression is often related to additional genetic aberrations, although some can already be detected during the chronic phase. Detailed scoring systems for clinical usage that are mostly applied in patients with primary myelofibrosis have been defined, and the most recent ones include cytogenetic and molecular parameters with prognostic significance. Additional different clinic-pathologic changes have been reported that may occur during the course of the disease and that are, at present, classified as WHO-defined types of progression, although they likely represent such an event. The present review is meant to provide an updated overview on progression in Ph-chromosome-negative MPN, with a major focus on the pathologic side.

Full textAbstract:
Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are neoplastic diseases of the hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. MPN are characterized by chronic inflammation and immune dysregulation. Of interest, the potent immunostimulatory cytokine interferon-α has been used to treat MPN for decades. A deeper understanding of the anti-cancer immune response and of the different immune regulatory mechanisms in patients with MPN has paved the way for an increased perception of the potential of cancer immunotherapy in MPN. Therapeutic vaccination targeting the driver mutations in MPN is one recently described potential new treatment modality. Furthermore, T cells can directly react against regulatory immune cells because they recognize proteins like arginase and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). Therapeutic vaccination with arginase or PD-L1 therefore offers a novel way to directly affect immune inhibitory pathways, potentially altering tolerance to tumor antigens like mutant CALR and mutant JAK2. Other therapeutic options that could be used in concert with therapeutic cancer vaccines are immune checkpoint–blocking antibodies and interferon-α. For more advanced MPN, adoptive cellular therapy is a potential option that needs more preclinical investigation. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about the immune system in MPN and discuss the many opportunities for anti-cancer immunotherapy in patients with MPN.

Abstract Abstract 4105 Background: JAK2 mutations are found in approximately 99% of patients with polycythemia vera (PV) and 60% of those with essential thrombocythemia (ET) or primary myelofibrosis (PMF). It is currently assumed that other mutations relevant to JAK signaling contribute to the pathogenesis of JAK2 mutation-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). The same might hold true for some cases of “idiopathic erythrocytosis” associated with subnormal serum erythropoietin level (sEpo). LNK is a plasma membrane-bound adaptor protein whose function includes inhibition of wild-type and mutant JAK2 phosphorylation. LNK exon 2 mutations were recently described in two patients with JAK2V617F-negative ET or PMF. Both mutations involved the LNK pleckstrin homology (PH) domain; one was a 5 base-pair deletion and missense mutation leading to a premature stop codon (603_607delGCGCT; 613C>G) and the other a missense mutation (622G>C; glutamic acid to glutamine substitution; E208Q). Objectives: i) To estimate the prevalence of LNK mutations in chronic and blast phase MPN ii) To determine if LNK mutations are mutually exclusive of other MPN-associated mutations iii) To test the hypothesis that LNK mutations might contribute to the pathogenesis of JAK2 mutation-negative PV or otherwise unexplained erythrocytosis Methods: LNK mutation analysis was performed on bone marrow or blood cells using modified primers for amplifying the SH2 and PH domains, using previously published methods (Oh et al. Blood First Edition Paper, prepublished online April 19, 2010; DOI 10.1182/blood-2010-02-270108). Results: LNK mutation studies were performed in 172 patients; paired chronic-blast phase samples were analyzed in 26 cases. Diagnoses in the 172 study patients were as follows: 78 chronic-phase MPN (39 JAK2V617F-positive PV, 25 PMF and 14 ET) enriched for TET2, IDH, JAK2V617F, or MPL mutations, 61 blast-phase MPN (41 blast-phase PMF, 11 blast-phase PV and 9 blast-phase ET), 25 JAK2V617F-negative PV and 8 “unexplained erythrocytosis” associated with subnormal sEpo and negative for Epo receptor (EPOR) mutations. Ten novel heterozygous LNK mutations, all but one affecting exon 2 in the PH domain, were identified: 6 missense mutations involving codons 215, 220, 223, 229 and 234, one nonsense mutation involving codon 208 (622G>T leading to glutamic acid to a stop codon substitution; E208X), one synonymous mutation involving codon 208, and 2 deletion mutations involving exon 2 (685-691_delGGCCCCG) or exon 5 (955_delA). LNK mutations were most frequent in blast-phase MPN, occurring in 6 (9.8%) of the 61 informative patients; chronic-phase sample analysis in 4 of these revealed the same mutation in only one case. Mutant LNK was detected in chronic-phase samples only in 2 additional patients with blast-phase MPN. Among the 8 LNK-mutated blast-phase MPN cases, 7 had blast-phase PMF. The clinical phenotype in the remaining 2 LNK-mutated patients was that of an isolated erythrocytosis without overt features of PV. JAK2V617F was documented in 3 and IDHR140Q in 1 LNK-mutated patients. Conclusions: LNK mutations i) target an exon 2 ‘hot spot' in the PH domain spanning residues E208-D234, ii) might be most prevalent in blast-phase PMF iii) are not mutually exclusive of JAK2 or IDH mutations and iv) might be part of the “missing link” in the pathogenesis of JAK2 mutation-negative “idiopathic” erythrocytosis.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAn activating 1849G>T mutation of JAK2 (Janus kinase 2) tyrosine kinase was recently described in chronic myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs). Its role in other hematologic neoplasms is unclear. We developed a quantitative pyrosequencing assay and analyzed 374 samples of hematologic neoplasms. The mutation was frequent in polycythemia vera (PV) (86%) and myelofibrosis (95%) but less prevalent in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an antecedent PV or myelofibrosis (5 [36%] of 14 patients). JAK2 mutation was also detected in 3 (19%) of 16 patients with Philadelphia-chromosome (Ph)–negative chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), 2 (18%) of 11 patients with megakaryocytic AML, 7 (13%) of 52 patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, and 1 (1%) of 68 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes. No mutation was found in Ph+CML (99 patients), AML M0-M6 (28 patients), or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (20 patients). We conclude that the JAK2 1849G>T mutation is common in Ph– MPD but not critical for transformation to the acute phase of these diseases and that it is generally rare in aggressive leukemias.

Full textAbstract:
Primary myelofibrosis (formerly known as chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis), has the lowest incidence amongst the chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms and is characterized by a rather short median survival and a risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) noted in a small subset of the cases, usually as a terminal event. As observed with other chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms, the bone marrow biopsy may harbor small lymphoid aggregates, often assumed reactive in nature. In our paper, we present a 70-year-old Caucasian male who was diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis, and after 8 years of followup and therapy developed an AML. The small lymphoid aggregates noted in his bone marrow were neoplastic in nature and represented bone marrow involvement by a CD5-negative mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that presented without any associated lymphadenopathy. We reviewed the English medical literature to identify a single case report of simultaneous association of AML and a MCL in the bone marrow. The unusual association presented here suggests an increase in observer awareness to apparently benign lymphoid aggregates in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Background: Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) that progress to an accelerated phase (AP) or blast phase (BP) have poor outcomes with a median survival of 3 to 5 months. Approximately 20% of MPN-BP patients have a pathogenic mutation in IDH1 or IDH2. Ivosidenib and enasidenib, inhibitors of the IDH1 and IDH2 mutant enzymes respectively, provide a new treatment approach for high-risk IDH-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). There are limited clinical trial data and real-world experience with IDH inhibitors in MPN-AP/BP. We hypothesized that patients with IDH-mutated MPN-AP/BP may benefit from IDH inhibitor therapy. We performed a single institution retrospective analysis of patients with AML arising from a prior chronic myeloid neoplasm treated with an IDH inhibitor and evaluated outcomes of the MPN-AP/BP patients. Methods: Retrospective chart review was done to identify patients with IDH1/2-mutated MPN AP/BP, AML arising from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS-AML), or AML arising from CMML (CMML-AML), that were treated with ivosidenib or enasidenib from 1/1/2009-5/14/2019. Response was assessed using both the 2003 International Working Group AML (2003 IWG AML) criteria and 2017 European LeukemiaNet (ELN) criteria. For the MPN-AP/BP patients, response was also assessed using the 2012 Post-MPN AML Consortium (2012 MPN-BP) criteria (Mascarenhas et al. Leuk Res 2012). Overall survival from initiation of IDH inhibitor therapy and adverse event data were collected. Results: There were 96 patients with IDH1 or IDH2 mutations identified by analysis of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. 15 of these patients underwent treatment with an IDH inhibitor and had an antecedent chronic myeloid neoplasm: 7 MPN-BP, 1 MPN-AP, 5 MDS-AML, and 2 CMML-AML. Median age was 69 years old with a median Charlson Comorbidity Index of 6. ELN risk criteria could be assessed in 13/15 patients; of those, 54% were adverse-risk. 13 IDH2 mutated patients received enasidenib as monotherapy (n=12) or combined with azacitidine (n=1). 2 IDH1-mutated patients received ivosidenib as monotherapy (n=1) or combined with azacitidine (n=1). Of the 8 MPN-AP/BP patients, 6 received IDH inhibitor therapy in the front-line setting. Of the 7 patients with MDS-AML or CMML-AML, only 2 patients received IDH inhibitor therapy in the frontline setting. The overall response rate (ORR) to IDH inhibitor therapy for the 15 patients was 40% using both the 2003 IWG AML criteria and the 2017 ELN criteria. In the 8 patients with MPN-AP/BP, the ORR was 37.5% using both the 2003 IWG AML response criteria and the 2017 ELN criteria and was 75% when using the 2012 MPN-BP response criteria (Table 1). Median overall survival was not reached for the 3 MPN-BP patients reclassified as responders using 2012 MPN-BP criteria with median follow-up at time of data lock being 431 days (range, 67-1218+). Median duration of IDH inhibitor therapy in the whole 15 patient cohort was 126 days (range, 14-1218+) and 258 days (14-1218+) for MPN-BP patients. Median follow-up at time of data lock was 151 days for all patients and 272 days for MPN-BP patients. Within the MPN-AP/BP cohort, 3 are still on therapy at this time, 2 had stopped due to progression of disease, and 3 had stopped due to an adverse event or clinical deterioration (Figure 1). Median overall survival for all patients after initiation of IDH inhibitor therapy was 235 days (Figure 2). Median survival for patients with MPN-AP/BP (n=8) was not reached compared to 193 days for the 7 patients with MDS-AML or CMML-AML. The incidence of Grade 3 or greater adverse events was similar to the known AE profile of these agents. NGS analysis at time of progression to AML/accelerated phase identified JAK2 and SRSF2 mutations as the most frequent co-mutations (Table 2). Conclusions: Treatment with IDH inhibitor therapy in IDH-mutated MPN-AP/BP patients holds promise as a means of inducing durable responses that extend beyond historical survival data for MPN-BP. In addition, utilization of the 2012 MPN-BP criteria to assess response in this patient population can provide better insight into the benefit of this treatment strategy. Our single institutional experience merits confirmation in a larger group of patients with IDH1/2-mutated MPN-AP/BP.

Abstract Background The Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs), including Polycythemia Vera (PV), Essential Thrombocythemia (ET), and Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF) are clonal hematopoietic disorders. JAK2V617F mutations are observed in approximately 90-95% of PV cases, but only 40-50% of ET and PMF cases. Although JAK2 exon 12 and LNK mutations are observed in the majority of JAK2V617F-negative PV patients, candidate gene and exome sequencing studies to date have not identified activating oncogenes in the majority of JAK2V617F-negative ET/PMF patients. Thus, further genetic investigations are needed to define the mutational architecture of these JAK2 wildtype MPNs in order to gain insight into the biology of these diseases, the clinical implications of genetic events that do occur, and the elucidation of potential therapeutic targets. Aims To characterize the spectrum of genetic alterations in JAK2 wildtype chronic-phase myeloproliferative neoplasms. Methods We identified 32 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of an MPN (per 2008 WHO criteria), including MF, PV and ET, who were negative for JAK2V617F using a CLIA-certified allele specific assay for the JAK2 disease allele. Genomic DNA and total RNA was isolated from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue, blood and bone marrow aspirates. Adaptor ligated sequencing libraries were captured by solution hybridization using two custom baitsets targeting 374 cancer-related genes and 24 genes frequently rearranged for DNA-seq, and 258 genes frequently rearranged for RNA-seq. All captured libraries were sequenced to high depth (Illumina HiSeq), averaging >590X for DNA and >20,000,000 total pairs for RNA, to enable the sensitive and specific detection of genomic alterations. Results High coverage sequencing allowed us to identify JAK2V617F mutations in two patients (allele burden 3-5%) that were below the limit of detection of the CLIA assay. The most common mutations observed in JAK2V617F-negative MPN were in ASXL1 (22% of patients) and in TET2 (9%). Taken together, mutations in known epigenetic modifiers (ASXL1, TET2, DNMT3A, EZH2, MLL) were observed in 43% of samples, including a MLL-PTD mutation in one patient with PMF. We identified mutations in spliceosome components (SRSF2, U2AF1), in a subset of patients, consistent with previous reports, and in each case mutations in spliceosome components were mutually exclusive. We identified mutations in the JAK-STAT pathway (MPL, TYK2) and the RAS pathway components (KRAS, NF1) in 9% of this patient cohort, suggesting that there are alternate disease alleles that activate signaling in JAK2V617F-negative MPN. RNA-sequencing identified a ETV6-ABL1 fusion in one patient, and we identified amplification of PIK3CA in one patient in our cohort; these data suggest fusion genes and amplifications activate signaling in a subset of patients with JAK2V617F-negative MPN. We also identified novel mutations in MPN patients which have not been reported to date, including mutations in DNA repair genes (ATM and BRCA) in 25% of cases and mutations in the Notch signaling pathway (NOTCH1-4) in 31% of cases. The functional implications of these novel mutations remain to be elucidated. In univariate analysis, ASXL1 mutations were found to associate with impaired overall survival (Figure 1, p=0.049). These findings are consistent with data demonstrating an impaired survival in patients with MDS and PMF, and suggest that ASXL1 mutations represent an important biomarker for adverse outcome in JAK2V617F-negative MPN. Conclusions These data demonstrate that the mutational spectra of JAK2V617F-negative MPN includes genes implicated in epigenetic regulation, novel mutations which activate gene signaling, and fusion genes/copy number alterations which provide a novel mechanism of oncogenic activation not previously reported in MPN. ASXL1 mutations occur frequently in JAK2 wildtype Philadelphia-Chromosome negative MPNs, and are associated with impaired overall survival. Collectively, these findings support the importance of ASXL1 mutations in predicting outcome in JAK2V617F-negative MPN, demonstrate that mutations in signaling effectors and in epigenetic regulators are common in MPN, and illustrate the genetic heterogeneity of JAK2V617F-negative MPN.

Among hematologic malignancies, the classic Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are considered a model of inflammation-related cancer development. In this context, the use of immune-modulating agents has recently expanded the MPN therapeutic scenario. Cytokines are key mediators of an auto-amplifying, detrimental cross-talk between the MPN clone and the tumor microenvironment represented by immune, stromal, and endothelial cells. This review focuses on recent advances in cytokine-profiling of MPN patients, analyzing different expression patterns among the three main Philadelphia-negative (Ph-negative) MPNs, as well as correlations with disease molecular profile, phenotype, progression, and outcome. The role of the megakaryocytic clone as the main source of cytokines, particularly in myelofibrosis, is also reviewed. Finally, we report emerging intriguing evidence on the contribution of host genetic variants to the chronic pro-inflammatory state that typifies MPNs.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction The Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) develop in a biological continuum from the early cancer stages (ET/PV) to the advanced myelofibrosis stage characterized by huge splenomegaly, bone marrow failure and -fibrosis. Importantly, bone marrow fibrosis also increases from the early stages with reticulin fibrosis only and later deposition of mature collagen as well. Fibulins are glycoproteins that are important constituents of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Thus, fibulins have been shown to modulate cell morphology, growth, adhesion and motility. Dysregulation of fibulins has been reported in several cancers. In addition, upregulation of fibulins and elevated circulating fibulins have been reported in diseases - other than cancers -, in which chronic inflammation is an important pathogenetic factor, such as cardiovascular diseases. Thus, deregulated fibulins have been described in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Herein, using whole blood gene expression profiling, we for the first time report deregulated fibulins in patients with MPNs. Aim To detect if genes associated with pre-atherosclerotic changes in type II diabetes are deregulated in patients with MPNs. Material and methods Gene expression microarrays were applied to generate gene expression profiles of whole blood from control subjects (n=21) and patients with ET (n=19), PV (n=41), and PMF (n=9). Total RNA was purified, amplified to biotin-labeled aRNA and hybridized to microarray chips. The statistical software R was applied to perform initial data processing and statistical analysis of gene expression changes between patients and control subjects. An FDR <0.05 was considered significant. Results We identified 23,657, 25,567, and 17,417 probe sets which were significantly differentially expressed between controls and patients with ET, PV, and PMF, respectively (FDR < 0.05). We focused upon the top 15 upregulated genes from a previous gene expression microarray study performed on arterial tissue from patients with type 2 diabetes compared to non-diabetic patients undergoing artery bypass graft surgery. Several of these genes were significantly deregulated in patients with MPNs (Table 1). In patients with ET, FBLN1, FBLN2,FAM107A, IGF2, MEG3, and ELN were significantly upregulated and ZFP36L2 were significantly downregulated. In patients with PV, FBLN1, FBLN2, ELN, LEPR, FAM107A, IGF2, CRISPLD2, and MEG3 were significantly upregulated and ZFP36L2 and SERPINF1 were significantly downregulated. In patients with PMF, MEG3, LEPR, FBLN1, FAM107A, ELN, IGF2, and VWF were significantly upregulated and ZFP36L2 and SERPINF1 were significantly downregulated. Discussion and conclusions Fibulins regulate several cellular functions including tissue homeostasis and remodeling after injury, angiogenesis, and tumorigenesis. Thus, fibulins have been reported to be upregulated in several cancer types, in which deregulated fibulins have been associated with cancer invasiveness and disease progression. We have for the first time shown that fibulins are also highly deregulated in patients with MPNs. The significance of our findings is presently unknown but since interactions between fibulins and transforming growth factor (TGFbeta) have been demonstrated, upregulated fibulins may enhance the capacities of TGFbeta, which shares several of the regulatory functions excerted by fibulins. In the context of chronic inflammation being a driving force for MPN development during the biological continuum from early cancer stages to the advanced myelofibrosis stage and chronic inflammation likely also accelerates the development of atherosclerosis in MPNs, it is highly intriguing to note that fibulins are also elevated in arteries from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thus, upregulated fibulins in blood cells may actually indirectly reflect ongoing matrix modelling during atherosclerosis development, including remodeling and turnover of basement membranes in the inflamed endothelium. In conclusion, highly deregulated fibulins have been demonstrated in circulating blood cells by whole blood gene expression profiling. Further studies are needed to assess the significance of our findings in terms of potential associations to modelling of ECM in the bone marrow and during development of atherosclerosis in MPNs.

Full textAbstract:
The JAK2V617F variant constitutes a genetic alteration of higher frequency in BCR/ABL1 negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms, which is caused by a substitution of a G ˃ T at position 1849 and results in the substitution of valine with phenylalanine at codon 617 of the polypeptide chain. Clinical, morphological and molecular genetic features define the diagnosis criteria of polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis. Currently, JAK2V617F is associated with clonal hematopoiesis, genomic instability, dysregulations in hemostasis and immune response. JAK2V617F clones induce an inflammatory immune response and lead to a process of immunothrombosis. Recent research has shown great interest in trying to understand the mechanisms associated with JAK2V617F signaling and activation of cellular and molecular responses that progressively contribute to the development of inflammatory and vascular conditions in association with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms. Thus, the aim of this review is to describe the main genetic, hematological and immunological findings that are linked to JAK2 variant signaling in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Full textAbstract:
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal disorders divided into Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or Ph chromosome-negative MPNs. Co-occurrence of these disease entities is very rare and typically involves presence of common p190 or p210 BCR/ABL fusion transcript (responsible for CML) along with JAK2V617F mutation (most common driver mutation in Ph-negative MPNs). Because of the rarity of such cases, it is not clear if the outcomes are any different in these patients. In this article, we report a unique patient with polycythemia vera driven by a rare complex in-frame deletion-insertion mutation in JAK2 exon 12, and CML driven by uncommon p210 e14a3 (b3a3) BCR/ABL fusion transcript. We describe clinical and laboratory features, bone marrow pathology, treatment, and overall outcome.

Abstract Abstract 315 Introduction: Dysregulated JAK-STAT signaling in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) has primarily been attributed to activating mutations in tyrosine kinases. However, JAK-STAT activation can be demonstrated in some patients lacking JAK2 or MPL mutations, suggesting alteration of other regulatory elements in this pathway. One regulator of JAK-STAT signaling is LNK (SH2B3), an adapter protein that contains a proline-rich N-terminal dimerization domain (Pro/DD), a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain (plasma membrane localization), and an SH2 domain. LNK binds to cytokine receptors (e.g. MPL, EPOR) and JAK2 via its SH2 domain, inhibiting downstream STAT activation and providing critical negative feedback regulation. LNK-/- mice exhibit features consistent with an MPN phenotype. We recently reported the first human disease-related LNK mutations in two JAK2 V617F-negative MPN patients (Oh et al, Blood, Aug 12, 2010). One patient with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) exhibited a 5 base-pair (bp) deletion and missense mutation (DEL) leading to a premature stop codon and loss of the PH and SH2 domains. A second patient with essential thrombocythemia (ET) was found to have a missense mutation (E208Q) in the PH domain. Both mutations conferred aberrant JAK-STAT signaling in cell lines and primary patient samples, indicating that loss of LNK negative feedback regulation contributes to MPN pathogenesis. We now report the results of a comprehensive screen of a large cohort of MPN, overlap myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/MPN, and post-MDS/MPN acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients for LNK mutations. Methods: A total of 341 samples were sequenced (Table 1; polycythemia vera (PV)=34, erythrocytosis=7, ET=61, PMF=75, post-PV/ET MF=25, MPN-U=7, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)=71, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia=20, MDS/MPN=8, MDS with fibrosis=2, refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts and thrombocytosis=4, idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome/chronic eosinophilic leukemia=4, systemic mastocytosis=4, and post MDS/MPN AML=19). A deep sequencing approach (Illumina multiplexing system) was used to evaluate 84 samples, in which all exons of LNK were sequenced. For the remainder of the samples, direct sequencing was performed on exon 2, the region containing the previously reported DEL and E208Q mutations. Results: After excluding variants previously reported in SNP databases, a total of 11/341 (3.2%) patients were found to have non-synonymous mutations, including 3/61 (4.9%) ET, 3/75 (4.0%) PMF, and 5/71 (7.0%) CMML patients (Table 1). Each of the mutations localized to exon 2 of LNK, implicating this region as a possible mutational hotspot. This included the aforementioned patients with the DEL and E208Q mutations, which were confirmed by deep sequencing. In two other patients, sequencing of DNA from cultured skin fibroblasts DNA indicated that the mutations were germline. For the remaining seven patients, germline analysis is currently ongoing. In one patient with CMML, a 1 bp deletion leading to a frameshift and premature stop codon was identified (Q72fs). This mutation localized to the Pro/DD, likely resulting in a complete loss of LNK function. Interestingly, this patient who is wild type for the JAK2 and RAS genes, also carries a heterozygous CBL mutation (C396Y), suggesting that LNK and CBL mutations may have cooperative effects. Four patients (one with PMF, three with CMML) were found to have a missense mutation (S186I) at a highly conserved residue in the Pro/DD. The previously reported E208Q mutation was also found in one patient with ET and one patient with CMML. None of the 81 patients known to be JAK2 V617F-positive exhibited somatic LNK mutations, suggesting that LNK mutations may provide an alternative basis for JAK-STAT activation in the absence of JAK2 V617F. Conclusion: Missense and deletion mutations of the LNK gene occur at a low frequency in MPNs and MDS/MPNs and segregate predominantly in exon 2. Further analysis of post-MPN AML samples (represented at a low frequency in the current cohort) and other subtypes of acute and chronic myeloid malignancies is warranted to better characterize the disease spectrum of LNK mutations and whether they are mutually exclusive of JAK2 V617F. We are currently investigating whether loss of negative feedback regulation of JAK-STAT signaling is related to haploinsufficiency of LNK or dominant negative effects of the mutant protein.

Full textAbstract:
Background Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are chronic hematopoietic stem cell disorders, including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (MF). JAK2, MPL, and CALR mutations are considered as "driver mutations" and are directly implicated in the disease pathogenesis by activation of JAK/STAT signaling. However, some patients do not harbor any of these mutations. Since such triple-negative MPNs are very rare, no specific molecular markers were established to use for a precise differential diagnosis yet. So far, the introduction of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies in research of myeloid neoplasms has provided valuable contributions on the identification of new molecular biomarkers, establishing more accurate risk rating and selection of more specific therapeutic interventions. This study aimed to identify, through targeted deep sequencing, specific genetic variants in patients with triple-negative MPNs. Methods We performed NGS targeted sequencing in 18 Brazilian triple-negative patients (11 MF and 7 ET). The median age at diagnosis was 64 years for primary myelofibrosis (range 42-78), and 52 years for essential thrombocythemia (range 19-79). In 14 cases, we used the Illumina TruSight Myeloid Panel covering 54 genes and in 4 cases we used a custom Sure Select Agilent panel containing more than 300 genes previously reported to be related to myeloid neoplasm. The inclusion criteria for variant filtering was quality score>30, read count>50, minor allele frequency<0.05, frameshift, nonsense, splice site and 5`UTR variants, and missense variants described as deleterious for at least three prediction softwares. Results Possible pathogenic mutations were identified in 33 genes by Illumina and/or Agilent panels. Frameshift/nonsense or missense variants previously described as pathogenic correspond to 11 variants (Table 1). Out of these, mutations in TET2 were the most frequently identified (in 9/18 (50%) of the cases). In three MF patients with TET2 mutations no other considered pathogenic mutation was identified, indicating a possible role of TET2 as a driver gene. According to previous reports, the frequency of TET2 mutations in triple-negative MPNs patients were only 7%. Phenotypically, in our triple-negative MPNs, 6/11 (54.5%) MF and 3/7 (42.9%) ET patients harbored TET2 mutations. Clinically, the adverse prognostic impact of TET2 mutations in MPN had not been consistently shown by previous studies. In addition, mutations in SF3B1, CEBPA, and KMT2A genes were the second most frequent ones detected in 2/18 each (11%) of the patients, some of which were concomitant with TET2 mutations, suggesting additional clonal advantage due to these genetic events. Other potentially pathogenic variants were also detected is genes that have been reported to be related to other myeloid neoplasms (KMT2A, CDKN2A, TERT, DIS3, ZFPM1, PCDHA8, SAMD9, SAMD9L, DCLRE1C,ERBB3, SDHA, PCDHA6, SVEP1, MAP2K1 and EP300). Conclusions We have characterized the genomic alterations in 18 Brazilian patients with MPN triple-negative for either JAK2, CALR or MPL main mutations. Using a sensitive NGS platform, we identified significantly more frequent mutations in TET2 gene (in as many as a half of the cases) compared to JAK2, MPL, CALR mutation-positive MPN cases. We also uncovered mutations in genes not previously related with in MPN. Our novel findings call for further studies validating the frequencies, biological significance, and prognostic impacts of somatic mutations in triple-negative MPNs.

To define the role of spleen stiffness (SS) and liver stiffness (LS) in myelofibrosis and other Philadelphia (Ph)-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), we studied, by ultrasonography (US) and elastography (ES), 70 consecutive patients with myelofibrosis (MF) (no.43), essential thrombocythemia (ET) (no.10), and polycythemia vera (PV) (no.17). Overall, the median SS was not different between patients with MF and PV (p = 0.9); however, both MF and PV groups had significantly higher SS than the ET group (p = 0.011 and p = 0.035, respectively) and healthy controls (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.002, respectively). In patients with MF, SS values above 40 kPa were significantly associated with worse progression-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.012; HR = 3.2). SS also correlated with the extension of bone marrow fibrosis (BMF) (p < 0.0001). SS was higher in advanced fibrotic stages MF-2, MF-3 (W.H.O. criteria) than in pre-fibrotic/early fibrotic stages (MF-0, MF-1) (p < 0.0001) and PFS was significantly different in the two cohorts, with values of 63% and 85%, respectively (p = 0.038; HR = 2.61). LS significantly differed between the patient cohort with MF and healthy controls (p = 0.001), but not between the patient cohorts with ET and PV and healthy controls (p = 0.999 and p = 0.101, respectively). We can conclude that organ stiffness adds valuable information to the clinical work-up of MPNs and could be employed to define patients at a higher risk of progression.

Full textAbstract:
Philadelphia chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are composed of polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocytosis (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). The clinical picture is determined by constitutional symptoms and complications, including arterial and venous thromboembolic or hemorrhagic events. MPNs are characterized by mutations in JAK2, MPL, or CALR, with additional mutations leading to an expansion of myeloid cell lineages and, in PMF, to marrow fibrosis and cytopenias. Chronic inflammation impacting the initiation and expansion of disease in a major way has been described. Neutrophilic granulocytes play a major role in the pathogenesis of thromboembolic events via the secretion of inflammatory markers, as well as via interaction with thrombocytes and the endothelium. In this review, we discuss the molecular biology underlying myeloproliferative neoplasms and point out the central role of leukocytosis and, specifically, neutrophilic granulocytes in this group of disorders.

Abstract Background: Philadelphia-negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (Ph-MPN) are chronic hematological disorders characterized by the overproduction of one or more mature myeloid blood cell lineages. Classical Ph-MPN are Polycythemia Vera (PV), Essential Thrombocytopenia (ET) and Myelofibrosis (MF). The diagnosis includes clinical, histological and molecular features. There are not data from Chile. The aim of this study is to determinate epidemiological, clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic characteristics of Ph-MPN in our country. Methods: Descriptive and retrospective study. We reviewed the database of the Molecular Biology Laboratory at the Hospital del Salvador, a national reference laboratory, from 2012 to 2017. All patients referred as Ph-MPN were included. We reviewed the clinical records to obtain clinical information. Results: Clinical data was obtained from 468 cases from 12 public hospitals in Chile. Median age at diagnosis was 70 years. Female to Male ratio= 1,15:1, without significant differences between Ph-MPNs. ET was the most frequently Ph-MNP found, accounting for 49,4% of all Ph-MPN, followed by PV (37%) and MF (10,4%). A 66,2% of ET was JAK2 V617F+. Bone marrow biopsy was performed in 35% of ET cases. Only 7,8% had cytogenetic study. Splenomegaly was found in 8%. Thrombosis was observed in 23,8%. The median platelet count was 842x109/L. All patients received hydrea +/- aspirin or oral anticoagulation. Of the total of PV, 86,6% was JAK2+. Bone marrow biopsy was performed in a quarter of the cases. Thrombosis frequency was 14,5%. A 29% had splenomegaly. Median hemoglobin level was 18 gr/dl. All patients were treated with aspirin +/- phlebotomy and about half of them required cytoreduction. Two patients were refractory to hydrea and used ruxolitinib as second line treatment. A 63,3% of the MF were JAK-2+. Bone marrow biopsy was performed in 59% and 20% had a cytogenetic study. Only one fifth of patients had LDH measurement at diagnosis. Splenomegaly was observed in 75,5% of cases. Thrombosis frequency was 13%. Anemia was the most frequent finding in complete blood count. The treatments were heterogeneous, including hydrea, EPO, thalidomide/prednisone, danazol and ruxolitinib. Discussion: TE was the most common Ph-MPN. The epidemiological and blood count findings were similar to the data reported in the literature. It is important to note that with the 2016 WHO classification new criteria, some of patients diagnosed with ET, now will be in PV cathegory (21 patients in our serie). The distribution of JAK2V617F+ in Ph-MPN was similar to the published data, except for PV, in which we found a lower percentage of JAK2+. Thrombosis were lower than the data reported for PV. It is worrisome that bone marrow biopsy and cytogenetic study were performed only in a low percentage of the patients. The treatment strategies were heterogeneous and not standardized among the participating centers. These findings reveal a lack in the use of the diagnostic tools for Ph-MPN. It is important to improve clinical and molecular characterization of these patients in order to guide available therapeutic alternatives in our country.

Introduction: Philadelphia negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph- MPN) are hematopoietic stem cell malignancies associated with poor median survival of 12.4 months. They are often excluded from clinical trials because there are no accepted standards for treatment or assessment of disease response. SGI-110 (guadecitabine) is a second-generation DNA hypomethylating agent (HMA) that is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. Guadecitabine was designed to resist degradation by protein aminases and prolong the exposure of tumor cells to the active metabolite decitabine. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy and safety of SGI-110 in Philadelphia chromosome negative MPNs (Ph- MPN) and to also test the clinical applicability of the International IWG MDS/MPN response criteria in a prospective trial1. Methods: This is an interim analysis of an open label single-arm, single-institution study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SGI-110 in Philadelphia chromosome negative (Ph-) myeloproliferative Neoplasms as classified by WHO, including chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL), atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm unclassifiable, accelerated phase myelofibrosis and MPN unclassifiable (defined as peripheral and or bone marrow blasts of 10-19%). PV, ET and primary/secondary myelofibrosis were excluded. Patients were required to complete at least 3 cycles of guadecitabine to be considered evaluable for efficacy. Safety analyses were done on all patients who received any treatment with guadecitabine. Guadecitabine was administered subcutaneously at a dose of 60mg/m2 on days 1-5 repeated every 28 days. The IWG MDS/MPN response classification was used to assess treatment response. Results: Baseline characteristics of the study participants are presented in Table 1. Among the 20 treated patients, 2 (10.0%) were treated with previous HMAs, 3 had progressive disease, 1 transferred care, 7 were not yet evaluable for response, and 1 died after receiving only 2 cycles of treatment. Of the 13 evaluable, protocol specific response was seen in 8 (61.5%) patients: 2 (15.4%) achieved complete remission (CR), 3 (23.1%) with optimal marrow response (OMR), 3 (23.1%) with hematological response/clinical benefit (CB). Stable disease was seen in 4 patients (30.8%). Of the 7 patients that were inevaluable: 3 had progressive disease before completing 3 cycles, 2 received <3 cycles of therapy, 1 discontinued treatment due to personal choice, and 1 patient died from infection after receiving 2 cycles of treatment. The median overall survival (OS) for all evaluable patients was 27.4 months with 25.8 months for responders. Median OS for patients who achieved CR was 27.4 months and 25.0 months for OMR. For patients with CB, mean survival was 21.0 months. There was 1 patient with stable disease with prolonged survival (21 cycles), which elevated the mean survival to 26.0 months for the SD category. The median number of cycles to achieve a response was 3. The median times to first and best response were 3.6 and 3.8 months, respectively. The combination of ASXL1 and EZH2 mutations was associated with rapid progression. The most common AEs and SAEs related to guadecitabine are listed in Tables 2 and 3 respectively. Conclusion: SGI-110 was safe and well tolerated in patients with Ph negative MPN, with encouraging efficacy in this difficult-to-treat patient population. Further investigation of this agent in MDS/MPN overlap syndromes is warranted, and the present trial is ongoing. 1. Savona MR, Malcovati L, Komrokji R, et al.

MiR-155 is involved in various physiological processes in the cell, including hematopoiesis, immunity, inflammation and differentiation. Increased expression of miR-155 is observed in many malignant diseases, including lymphomas, acute myeloid leukemia and CLL. However, a comparative study of the miR-155 expression in the blood leukocytes in patients with chronic myeloid and lymphoproliferative diseases has not yet been carried out. To investigate the expression of miR-155 in the blood cells of patients with lympho- and ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms. MiR-155 expression were studied in the blood leukocytes of 28 patients with B-CLL, 52 patients with MPN and 51 donors by “real time” PCR method. The study revealed an increase in miR-155 in blood leukocytes in both patients with CLL and patients with MPN compared with the control group. In accordance with the results of the ROC analysis, the sensitivity and specificity of blood leukocytes testing on miR-155 expression level was 81.8% and 78.4%, respectively, for CLL and 55.1% and 82.4%, respectively, for MPN. At the same time, in patients with CLL who received therapy, the level of miR-155 was significantly lower compared with those who did not receive therapy. Thus, the involvement of miR-155 in the pathogenesis of chronic myeloid and lymphoproliferative diseases was demonstrated.

Abstract Abstract 5059 JAK2 inhibitors are known to improve symptoms, to control myeloproliferation and to reduce splenomegaly in patients diagnosed with chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs)Ph(-). However their ability to decrease the allele burden and achieve molecular responses is controversial. Objective: To evaluate hematologic, clinical and molecular responses according to the criteria of the European LeukemiaNet and European Myelofibrosis Network in 13 patients treated with JAK2 inhibitors. Material and Methods: We performed a prospective study in the Haematology Service of the Hospital La Pazbetween 1987 and 2012 in 13 patients diagnosed with NMP Ph (-) and treated with of JAK2 inhibitors: 5 secondary mylofibrosis (SFM)to homozygous polycythemia vera JAK (+), 4 SFM to essential thrombocythemias JAK (-), 2 primary myelofibrosis (one JAK (-) and one heterozygous JAK (+)) and 2 homozygous PV JAK (+) resistant to hydrea. The RT-PCR was performed at 6 or 12 months after the first determination of the allelic burden. Median follow-up was 3 months (1 – 15). A) Hematologic Response (HR): 3/5 SFM to PV(1)/TE JAK(-)(2) reached HR at 3 months of initiation of JAK2 inhibitor to 20mg/day. Molecular and clinical response were not evaluated. B) Clinical Response: Three patients had a reduction in the spleen size. Only one patient in the SFM group had a reduction in the spleen size (18 cm before the drug was commenced to 13. 7 cm) and the allele burden decrease from 55% to 23% after 5 months of therapy with JAK2 inhibitor at 25mg/12h (increase of 5mg/12h after 15 days of initiation of medication). 2/3 MFS to TE JAK(-) had a reduction from 15, 3 cm before the drug was commenced to 9 cm after 3 months of therapy with JAK2 inhibitor at 20 mg/12h. 3/3 MFP JAK(-) had a 6cm reduction in spleen size. Twenty cm splenomegaly was documented before starting JAK2 inhibitor to 15 mg/day. C) Molecular Response: 2/5 SFM to PV decreased the previous allele burden value. One patient decreased by 25% the previous allele burden value (99. 28%) at 6 months of JAK2 inhibitor. Second patient decreased by 13% the previous allele burden value (55%) at 6 months of starting JAK2 inhibitor to 25 mg/day. In 1/2 PV, the previous allele burden value (93. 17%) decreased by 11. 4% at 6 months of starting JAK2 inhibitor at 100mg/24h. D) Lack of response and disease progression: One patient with SMF secondary to JAK 2 (-) ET had dose reductions from 20 mg twice a day secondary to grade IV thrombocytopenia and renal toxicity. Patient finally developed acute leukemia. Conclusions: Our study confirms that JAK2 inhibitors reduce splenomegaly in MPNs JAK(-)and JAK(+). Prospective studies with an adequate sample size are necessary to demonstrate whether splenomegaly and symptom reductions achieved with inhibition of JAK2 could be associated to decrease the allele burden and achieve molecular responses in MPNs JAK(+).

Abstract Background Treatment of Philadelphia chromosome negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) with recombinant pegylated interferon alpha2a/b (rIFN-alpha) has proven effective. It is well known that prolonged therapy with recombinant type 1 interferons (IFN-alpha and IFN-beta) may induce neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) against the drug leading to treatment failure. Most data on type 1 IFN immunogenicity are available from studies of patients with multiple sclerosis treated with rIFN-beta, and patients with hepatitis C treated with rIFN-alpha. A few reports have demonstrated nAbs in MPN patients not responding adequately to rIFN-alpha treatment, but the phenomenon has not been thoroughly investigated in MPNs. Patients and Methods Newly diagnosed patients with MPNs enrolled in the Danish multicenter trial - DALIAH (Low-dose rIFN-alpha versus Hydroxyurea in The Treatment of Ph-Negative MPNs) were included. Patients were randomized to treatment with either rIFN-alpha 2a or 2b at a starting dose of 45 and 35 mikrograms once weekly, respectively. The occurrence of neutralizing Abs (nAbs) against rIFN-alpha was investigated at baseline, month 12 and month 24 by reporter gene assays (iLiteTM alphabeta and iLiteTM antialpha, Biomonitor A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark). JAK2 V617F quantitative mutation analyses were performed as previously described (Larsen TS, BJH 2007). Statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 9.0. Results Ninety-two patients on sustained treatment with rIFN-alpha2a (n=48) and rIFN-alpha2b (n=44) for 12 months were analyzed for this study. Forty-five patients had ET, 39 patients had PV and 8 patients had proliferative PMF. Thirty-six out of 39 (92%) PV patients, 22 out of 45 (49%) ET patients and 4 out of 8 (50%) PMF patients were JAK2V617F mutated. Hematological responses at 12 months: ET: 67% CR, 29 % PR; PV: 64% CR, 31% PR (ELN 2009 criteria); PMF: 50% had at least a minor response (EUMNET). The median serum concentration of bioactive IFN-alpha at 12 months was 12,4 (range <2,4-86,4) and 2,6 (range <2,4-12,8) IU/mL serum, for patients treated with rIFN-alpha 2a and -2b respectively. No significant association between hematological or molecular response and serum IFN-alpha activity was found. Serum from 92 patients was analyzed at 12 months and 33 patients were analyzed at both 12 and 24 months and no occurrence of nAbs was seen during treatment. Twenty-four patients had pre-treatment levels of IFN nAbs measured. Notably, one patient was tested positive for the presence of nAbs before rIFN-alpha exposure. This autoAb-positive patient remained positive throughout the study and has shown low IFN serum activity (< 2,4 IU/mL) and only partial hematological and molecular response after 24 months of treatment. Conclusions Development of nAbs in MPN patients completing treatment for 12 months with rIFN-alpha seems exceedingly rare as no patients, neither complete responders nor patients not meeting criteria for complete hematological remission developed nAbs after 12 (24) months of therapy. Its apparent rarity does not justify a routine investigation of nAbs in patients not responding to rIFN-alpha treatment. There was no significant correlation between serum concentration of rIFN-alpha 2a and -2b and clinical or molecular responses. The intriguing finding that one of 24 patients had pre-existing cross reacting nAbs against rIFN-alpha 2a and 2b before commencing rIFN-alpha treatment is interesting and was associated with an insufficient response.

Abstract Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) overlap syndromes are uniquely classified neoplasms occurring in both children and adults. This category consists of 5 neoplastic subtypes: chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), BCR-ABL1–negative atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML), MDS/MPN-ring sideroblasts and thrombocytosis (MDS/MPN-RS-T), and MDS/MPN-unclassifiable (U). Cytogenetic abnormalities and somatic copy number variations are uncommon; however, >90% patients harbor gene mutations. Although no single gene mutation is specific to a disease subtype, certain mutational signatures in the context of appropriate clinical and morphological features can be used to establish a diagnosis. In CMML, mutated coexpression of TET2 and SRSF2 results in clonal hematopoiesis skewed toward monocytosis, and the ensuing acquisition of driver mutations including ASXL1, NRAS, and CBL results in overt disease. MDS/MPN-RS-T demonstrates features of SF3B1-mutant MDS with ring sideroblasts (MDS-RS), with the development of thrombocytosis secondary to the acquisition of signaling mutations, most commonly JAK2V617F. JMML, the only pediatric entity, is a bona fide RASopathy, with germline and somatic mutations occurring in the oncogenic RAS pathway giving rise to disease. BCR-ABL1–negative aCML is characterized by dysplastic neutrophilia and is enriched in SETBP1 and ETNK1 mutations, whereas MDS/MPN-U is the least defined and lacks a characteristic mutational signature. Molecular profiling also provides prognostic information, with truncating ASXL1 mutations being universally detrimental and germline CBL mutations in JMML showing spontaneous regression. Sequencing information in certain cases can help identify potential targeted therapies (IDH1, IDH2, and splicing mutations) and should be a mainstay in the diagnosis and management of these neoplasms.

Back Ground: Myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) is a long-term blood disease that has an excess production of mature hematopoietic pluripotent stem cells in the bone marrow. In the early fifties, W. Dameshek structured the Myeloproliferative disorders that are at present the World Health Organization (WHO) changed it to Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs). According to the Iraqi cancer registry, Chronic Myeloproliferative disorders in the male is 0.62% and the incidence rate is 0.36, in female Chronic Myeloproliferative disorders (45 case) is 0.31% and the incidence rate is 0.24. The JAK2-V617F genetic mutation is approximately seventy percent of the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm cases. Interleukin-4 plasma and serum levels are significantly increased in MPNs different types.
Objectives: The goal of this study is to estimate the IL-4 serum levels in the JAK2-V617F negative and positive mutation in the Iraqi MPNs patients.
Materials and Methods: Total of (60) patients screened by cohort prospective study of having MPN who are patients presented to the National Center of Hematology / Al-Mustansiriyah University. Depending on the JAK2-V617F genetic mutation we classified our MPNs cases into 3 groups: JAK2-V617F negative (N: 20), JAK2-V617F positive (N: 40) and control group (10). Blood sample (5) ml was obtained from each individual in each group, by venipuncture using disposable syringes for IL-4 serum estimation by Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) technique.
Results: A clear indication of significant differences was observed between IL-4 serum level in JAK2-V617F negative samples and control samples (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The IL-4 serum level is high in MPNs patients, which is one of the immune evading mechanisms of the cancerous acting to imbalance the Th1/Th2 ratio and enhancing the anti-apoptotic activity inside those cells.

Abstract Introduction: Patients with Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (Ph-MPN), polycytemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythaemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), are prone to develop thrombotic events. We aimed to investigate the coagulation status in their plasma using thrombin generation assay (TGA), a functional global assay, on Ceveron® Alpha. Materials and methods: The samples were collected from 89 consecutive Ph-negative MPN patients and from 78 controls into K2EDTA and CTAD tubes for blood cell counts, TGA and coagulation screening tests. Thrombin generation was analysed in platelet-poor plasma using Technothrombin® TGA assay kit. Results: We found a significantly increased peak thrombin generation (p=0.049) and velocity index (VI) (p=0.012) in patients in comparison with controls, especially in ET patients, and a significantly higher values for peak thrombin (p=0.043) and VI (p=0.042) in patients receiving anagrelide in comparison with those treated with hydroxyurea. We also noticed an inverse correlation between the length of cytoreductive therapy and TGA parameters, (peak thrombin R=-0.25, p=0.018, AUC R=-0.257, p=0.015, and VI R=-0.21, p=0.048). Conclusion: Our results suggest that Ph-MPN patients, and especially those with ET, are predisposed to thrombotic events due to their higher peak thrombin and VI values and their risk may decreases as treatment is longer. Patients treated with hydroxyurea generate less thrombin and could be less prone to develop thrombotic events in comparison with those treated with anagrelide.

Abstract
Classification of myeloproliferative neoplasms is based on hematologic, histopathologic and molecular characteristics including the presence of the BCR-ABL1 and JAK2 V617F or MPL and CALR. Although the different gene mutations ought to be mutually exclusive, a number of cases with co-occurring BCR-ABL1 and JAK2 V617F or CALR, have been identified with a frequence of 0.2-2.5%in European population .The tyrosine kinase abnormalities appeared to affect independent subclones because imatinib mesylate (IM) treatment induced Ph+-CML remission whereas the JAK2V617F clone either persisted or clinically expanded after major response of Ph+-clone.
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is at the present the only potentially curative therapy for these patients after therapy with ruxolitinib and TKI inhibitor. We describe the case of 3 young people treated in our institution for coexistence of BCR/ABL chronic myeloid leukemia and another Philadelphia chromosome negative (Ph−) CMPD. They received ruxolitinib, imatinib/nilotinib and allogeneic transplantation with a safe and efficient results.

e18563 Background: Myeloproliferative Neoplasms are divided by the presence or absence of the Philadelphia Chromosome. Ph- MPN, typically possess driver mutations of JAK-2, MPL and CALR. CALR is involved with apoptosis and cell proliferation . MPL leads to TPO receptor stimulation and mutations are reported as a known cause of AA. JAK-2 mutations render hematopoietic stem cells more sensitive to growth. Though the true incidence is unknown, there are infrequent reports of pts with ET who later develop CML. CALR, MPL and JAK-2 mutations may have some further role in determining whether these are two separate events or clonally derived. We report three pts with MPN who later developed CML. Methods: Chart Review Results: Pt 1 had ET, diagnosed 21 yrs earlier treated with hydroxyurea. He then developed a rising WBC and platelets which necessitated a marrow which detected Ph+ CML. He was CALR positive. NGS was negative for nondriver mutations. Platelets initially declined from 3 million to 975K with TKI and he achieved a MMR. However, the inability to control his thrombocytosis required the addition of ruxolitinib. Pt 2 was diagnosed with ET and was treated with P32. Nine yrs later CML was diagnosed and TKI administration achieved a MMR. Subsequently, a profound anemia evaluation diagnosed PNH requiring eculizumab without benefit and repeat marrow with NGS revealed a MPLmutation and post-ET myelofibrosis. Pt 3 presented with a JAK-2 positive mutation and Polycythemia Vera. After four yrs of hydroxyurea extreme leukocytosis led to a marrow revealing a diagnosis of Ph+ CML. Dasatinib achieved a prompt MMR. NGS revealed KIT D618 V , coinciding with a diagnosis of systemic mastoytosis (SM). Conclusions: The rare observation of patients with both ET and CML have been reported by others with some recent implications of CALR as a common clone with double-mutant properties of CML. Our patients had a lead time of 21, 9, and 4 yrs, all having different mutations. Pts with MPN who develop unexplained leuko or thrombocytosis should be evaluated for CML.We plan to retrieve archival tissue to perform serial genetic analyses. Further work is required to determine whether these events are stochastic or represents clonal evolution.

Full textAbstract:
Chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are hematopoietic stem cell neoplasms with driver events including the BCR-ABL1 translocation leading to a diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), or somatic mutations in JAK2, CALR, or MPL resulting in Philadelphia-chromosome-negative MPNs with constitutive activation of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. In the Philadelphia-chromosome-negative MPNs, modern sequencing panels have identified a vast molecular landscape including additional mutations in genes involved in splicing, signal transduction, DNA methylation, and chromatin modification such as ASXL1, SF3B1, SRSF2, and U2AF1. These additional mutations often influence prognosis in MPNs and therefore are increasingly important for risk stratification. This review focuses on the molecular alterations within the WHO classification of MPNs and laboratory testing used for diagnosis.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal disorders characterized by excessive production of mature blood cells. In the majority of classic MPN—polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primitive myelofibrosis—driver oncogenic mutations affecting Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) or MPL lead to constitutive activation of cytokine-regulated intracellular signaling pathways. LNK, c-CBL, or SOCSs (all negative regulators of signaling pathways), although infrequently targeted, may either drive the disease or synergize with JAK2 and MPL mutations. IZF1 deletions or TP53 mutations are mainly found at transformation phases and are present at greater frequency than in de novo acute myeloid leukemias. Loss-of-function mutations in 3 genes involved in epigenetic regulation, TET2, ASXL1, and EZH2, may be early events preceding JAK2V617F but may also occur late during disease progression. They are more frequently observed in PMF than PV and ET and are also present in other types of malignant myeloid diseases. A likely hypothesis is that they facilitate clonal selection, allowing the dominance of the JAK2V617F subclone during the chronic phase and, together with cooperating mutations, promote blast crisis. Their precise roles in hematopoiesis and in the pathogenesis of MPN, as well as their prognostic impact and potential as a therapeutic target, are currently under investigation.
