Neutrophils play a key role in the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) where release of ROS and proteases directly causes damage to joints and tissues. Neutrophil function is directly affected by Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor drugs, including tofacitinib and baricitinib, which are clinically...
The rising incidence of obesity and related disorders such as diabetes and heart disease has focused considerable attention on the discovery of novel therapeutics. One promising approach has been to increase the number or activity of brown-like adipocytes in white adipose depots, as this has been...
JAK/STAT pathway plays important roles in controlling Drosophila intestinal homeostasis and regulating the ISC proliferation and differentiation. However,the downstream targets of its transcription factor-STAT92E remain largely unknown.To further identify the regualtory mechanisms of the JAK/STAT pa...
Although the JAK/STAT pathway regulates numerous processes in vertebrates and invertebrates through modulating transcription, its functionally-relevant transcriptional targets remain largely unknown. With one jak and one stat (stat92E), Drosophila provides a powerful system for finding new JAK/STAT ...
We used expression profiling, SNP arrays, and mutational profiling to investigate a well-characterized cohort of MPN patients. MPN patients with homozygous JAK2V617F mutations were characterized by a distinctive transcriptional profile. Notably, a transcriptional signature consistent with activated ...

The type I JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib is approved for therapy of MPN patients but evokes resistance with longer exposure. Several novel type I JAK inhibitors were studied and we show that they uniformly induce resistance via a shared mechanism of JAK family heterodimer formation.Here we studied the e...
Transcriptional profiling comparison of mouse embryonic stem cells versus their JAK mutated counterparts, cultured both in the presence and absence of LIF (leukemia inhibitory factor).
FACS-purified adipocyte progenitors from murine subcutaneous adipose tissue were cultured under conditions promoting general adipogenic differentiation or beige/brite adipocyte differentiation (treatment with cPGI2) in the presence of absence of Jak inhibitor I (JakiI), which targets all Jak family ...
In this study we compared the effects of IL-2, IL-15, and IL-21 on the gene expression, activation of cell signaling pathways, and functional properties of cells derived from the CD4+ cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Whereas both IL-2 and IL-15 that signal through receptors that share the common ga...
