Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to determine GATA1 expression levels to better characterize subgroups in BCR/ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).MethodsThis study enrolled 49 patients diagnosed as having BCR/ABL1-negative MPN on the basis of the 2016 World Health Organization classification : nine polycythemia vera (PV), 17 essential thrombocythemia (ET), 12 prefibrotic primary myelofibrosis (prePMF), and 11 overt primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Relevant clinical and laboratory data were retrieved from the medical records. The molecular analysis of CALR and MPL mutations and quantification of JAK2 V617F allele burden were performed. GATA1 expression was assessed by an immunohistochemical assay on bone marrow biopsy. GATA1 expression was analyzed serially in 18 patients.ResultsGATA1 expression decreased significantly in PMF compared with that in other subtypes, while no statistical difference was identified between ET and prePMF. GATA1 expression did not differ according to the mutation profiles or the allele burden of JAK2 V617F, but it decreased significantly in patients with overt fibrosis or leukemic transformation.ConclusionsOur results suggest that GATA1 expression is significantly low in PMF and decreases with progressive fibrosis and possibly with leukemic transformation, although our attempt to accurately distinguish between subgroups using GATA1 immunohistochemical approach did not achieve statistical significance. A large patient cohort with long term follow-up is required to evaluate the prognostic value of GATA1 expression.

Project description:BCR::ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of hematopoietic malignancies in which somatic mutations are acquired in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, resulting in an abnormal increase in blood cells in peripheral blood and fibrosis in bone marrow. Mutations in JAK2, MPL, and CALR are frequently found in BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs, and detecting typical mutations in these three genes has become essential for the diagnosis of BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs. Furthermore, comprehensive gene mutation and expression analyses performed using massively parallel sequencing have identified gene mutations associated with the prognosis of BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs such as ASXL1, EZH2, IDH1/2, SRSF2, and U2AF1. Furthermore, single-cell analyses have partially elucidated the effect of the order of mutation acquisition on the phenotype of BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs and the mechanism of the pathogenesis of BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs. Recently, specific CREB3L1 overexpression has been identified in megakaryocytes and platelets in BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs, which may be promising for the development of diagnostic applications. In this review, we describe the genetic mutations found in BCR::ABL1-negative MPNs, including the results of analyses conducted by our group.

Project description:Objective/backgroundRecurrent somatic mutations in the JAK2, calreticulin (CALR), and the MPL genes are described as drivers of BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) that includes polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocytosis (ET), primary myelofibrosis (PMF), and MPN unclassified (MPN-U).MethodsWe describe the mutation profile and clinical features of MPN cases diagnosed at a tertiary care center. JAK2V617F and MPL (S505/W515) mutations were screened by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction, while CALR exon 9 and JAK2 exon 12 mutations were screened by fragment analysis/Sanger sequencing. Among the 1,570 patients tested for these mutations during the study period, 407 were classified as MPN with a diagnosis of PV, ET, PMF, and MPN-U seen in 30%, 17%, 36%, and 17%, respectively, screened.ResultsSimilar to previous reports from Asian countries, the incidence of PMF was the highest among the classic MPN. JAK2V617F mutation was detected in 90% of PV, 38% of ET, 48% of PMF, and 65% of MPN-U. JAK2 exon 12 mutations were seen in 5.7% of PV and 1.4% of PMF. CALR exon 9 mutations were seen in 33% of ET, 33% of PMF, and 12% of MPN-U. MPL mutations were detected in 2.8%, 2.7%, and 2.9% of ET, PMF, and MPN-U, respectively. Fifteen % of PMF, 26% of ET, and 22% of MPN-U were triple negative.ConclusionThere was a significantly higher incidence of CALR mutation in PMF and ET cases. Our study highlights the challenges in the diagnosis of JAK2-negative PV and the need for harmonization of criteria for the same.

Project description:We performed renal biopsy in three cases complicated by myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). Although several cases of glomerulonephritis associated with MPN have been reported, the etiologies of the renal disorders were not established (Plomley et al., Aust NZ J Med, 13:125-129, 1983; Sharma et al., Nephron, 69:361, 1995; Kanauchi et al., Intern Med, 33:36-40, 1994; Kasuno et al., Nephrol Dial Transplant, 12:212-215, 1997; Au et al., Am J Kid Dis, 34:889-893, 1999; Kosch et al., Nephrol Dial Transplant, 15:1710-1711, 2000; Oymak et al., Nephron, 86:346-347, 2000; Chun et al., Am J Nephrol, 20:344-346, 2000; Chung et al., Am J Nephrol, 22:397-401, 2002; Asaba et al., Clin Exp Nephrol, 7:296-300, 2003; Haraguchi et al., Clin Exp Nephrol, 10:74-77, 2006; Saigusa et al., J Nephrol, 19:656-658, 2006; Okuyama et al., Clin Nephrol, 6:412-415, 2007; Nishi et al., Clin Nephrol, 5:393-398, 2010; Ulusoy et al., Intern Med, 49:2477, 2010). A review of previous reports of renal biopsy cases with MPN in the English literature suggested that circulation control is important for the treatment of renal disorders that mimic glomerulonephritis in MPN.

Project description:Classical BCR-ABL-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies, including essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), as well as post-PV-MF and post-ET-MF. Progression to more symptomatic disease, such as overt MF or acute leukemia, represents one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality. There are clinically evident but also subclinical types of MPN progression. Clinically evident progression includes evolution from ET to PV, ET to post-ET-MF, PV to post-PV-MF, or pre-PMF to overt PMF, and transformation of any of these subtypes to myelodysplastic neoplasms or acute leukemia. Thrombosis, major hemorrhage, severe infections, or increasing symptom burden (e.g., pruritus, night sweats) may herald progression. Subclinical types of progression may include increases in the extent of bone marrow fibrosis, increases of driver gene mutational allele burden, and clonal evolution. The underlying causes of MPN progression are diverse and can be attributed to genetic alterations and chronic inflammation. Particularly, bystander mutations in genes encoding epigenetic regulators or splicing factors were associated with progression. Finally, comorbidities such as systemic inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, and organ fibrosis may augment the risk of progression. The aim of this review was to discuss types and mechanisms of MPN progression and how their knowledge might improve risk stratification and therapeutic intervention. In view of these aspects, we discuss the potential benefits of early diagnosis using molecular and functional imaging and exploitable therapeutic strategies that may prevent progression, but also highlight current challenges and methodological pitfalls.

Project description:Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) are a heterogeneous group of clonal disorders characterized by aberrant hematopoietic proliferation and an intrinsic risk of progression to blast phase. The WHO classification 2022 identifies chronic myeloid leukemia and the BCR::ABL1 negative MPNs polycythemia vera, primary myelofibrosis and essential thrombocythemia as individual entities. However, overlaps, borderline findings or transitions between MPN subtypes occur and incomplete clinical data often complicates diagnosis. By conducting a thorough genetic analysis, we've developed a model that relies on 12 genetic markers to accurately stratify MPN patients. The model can be simplified into a decision tree for routine use. Comparing samples at chronic and blast phase revealed, that one third of patients lost their MPN driver-gene mutation, while mutations in splicing and chromatin modifying genes were stable, indicating a shared founder clone of chronic and blast phase with different driver mutations and therefore different progressing capacities. This was further supported by gain of typical de novo AML gene mutations, accompanied by gain of complex karyotypes and RAS pathway gene mutations. Our data suggest to perform a broader genetic screening at diagnosis and also at clinical progression, as driver mutations may change and the MPN driver mutations present at diagnosis may disappear.

Project description:Multiple recurrent somatic mutations have recently been identified in association with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). This meta-analysis aims to assess the pooled prevalence of TET2 gene mutations among patients with MPN. Six databases (PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Web of Science and Embase) were searched for relevant studies from inception till September 2020, without language restrictions. The eligibility criteria included BCR-ABL-negative MPN adults with TET2 gene mutations. A random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup analyses explored results among different continents and countries, WHO diagnostic criteria, screening methods and types of MF. Quality assessment was undertaken using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool. The study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020212223). Thirty-five studies were included (n = 5121, 47.1% female). Overall, the pooled prevalence of TET2 gene mutations in MPN patients was 15.5% (95% CI: 12.1-19.0%, I2 = 94%). Regional differences explained a substantial amount of heterogeneity. The prevalence of TET2 gene mutations among the three subtypes PV, ET and MF were 16.8%, 9.8% and 15.7%, respectively. The quality of the included studies was determined to be moderate-high among 83% of the included studies. Among patients with BCR-ABL-negative MPN, the overall prevalence of TET2 gene mutations was 15.5%.

Project description:Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are characterized by increased proliferation of myeloid lineages in the bone marrow. Calreticulin (CALR) 52 bp deletion and CALR 5 bp insertion have been identified in essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). There is not much data on the crosstalk between mutated CALR and MPN-related signaling pathways, such as JAK/STAT, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and Hedgehog. Calreticulin, a multifunctional protein, takes part in many cellular processes. Nevertheless, there is little data on how mutated CALR affects the oxidative stress response and oxidative stress-induced DNA damage, apoptosis, and cell cycle progression. We aimed to investigate the role of the CALR 52 bp deletion and 5 bp insertion in the pathogenesis of MPN, including signaling pathway activation and functional analysis in CALR-mutated cells. Our data indicate that the JAK/STAT and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathways are activated in CALR-mutated cells, and this activation does not necessarily depend on the CALR and MPL interaction. Moreover, it was found that CALR mutations impair calreticulin function, leading to reduced responses to oxidative stress and DNA damage. It was revealed that the accumulation of G2/M-CALR-mutated cells indicates that oxidative stress-induced DNA damage is difficult to repair. Taken together, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the specific molecular mechanisms underlying CALR-mutated MPNs.

Project description:The discovery of somatic mutations, primarily JAK2V617F and CALR, in classic BCR-ABL1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) has generated interest in the development of molecularly targeted therapies, whose accurate assessment requires a standardized framework. A working group, comprised of members from European LeukemiaNet (ELN) and International Working Group for MPN Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT), prepared consensus-based recommendations regarding trial design, patient selection and definition of relevant end points. Accordingly, a response able to capture the long-term effect of the drug should be selected as the end point of phase II trials aimed at developing new drugs for MPNs. A time-to-event, such as overall survival, or progression-free survival or both, as co-primary end points, should measure efficacy in phase III studies. New drugs should be tested for preventing disease progression in myelofibrosis patients with early disease in randomized studies, and a time to event, such as progression-free or event-free survival should be the primary end point. Phase III trials aimed at preventing vascular events in polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia should be based on a selection of the target population based on new prognostic factors, including JAK2 mutation. In conclusion, we recommended a format for clinical trials in MPNs that facilitates communication between academic investigators, regulatory agencies and drug companies.

Project description:Inflammation-induced thrombosis represents a severe complication in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and in those with kidney dysfunction. Overlapping disease-specific attributes suggest common mechanisms involved in MPN pathogenesis, kidney dysfunction, and thrombosis. Data from 1420 patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET, 33.7%), polycythemia vera (PV, 38.5%), and myelofibrosis (MF, 27.9%) were extracted from the bioregistry of the German Study Group for MPN. The total cohort was subdivided according to the calculated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR, (mL/min/1.73 m2)) into eGFR1 (≥90, 21%), eGFR2 (60-89, 56%), and eGFR3 (<60, 22%). A total of 29% of the patients had a history of thrombosis. A higher rate of thrombosis and longer MPN duration was observed in eGFR3 than in eGFR2 and eGFR1. Kidney dysfunction occurred earlier in ET than in PV or MF. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified arterial hypertension, MPN treatment, increased uric acid, and lactate dehydrogenase levels as risk factors for kidney dysfunction in MPN patients. Risk factors for thrombosis included arterial hypertension, non-excessive platelet counts, and antithrombotic therapy. The risk factors for kidney dysfunction and thrombosis varied between MPN subtypes. Physicians should be aware of the increased risk for kidney disease in MPN patients, which warrants closer monitoring and, possibly, early thromboprophylaxis.
