Title Crizotinib Has Preclinical Efficacy in Philadelphia-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms.
URL
Abstract Text The Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis are characterized by JAK/STAT pathway activation. JAK inhibitors are approved for MPN treatment, but persistence has been observed, due to JAK/STAT reactivation.Using MPN patient samples, JAK2-mutated cell lines, and MPN mouse models, we examined both the efficacy and mechanism by which crizotinib, the ALK/MET/RON/ROS1 inhibitor approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, alters MPN cell proliferation and JAK/STAT activation.We found that crizotinib suppresses proliferation and activation of JAK/STAT signaling, and decreases the disease burden in the JAK2V617F mouse model of MPN. Furthermore, we found that crizotinib could overcome JAK inhibitor persistence to ruxolitinib. Interestingly, phosphorylation of the crizotinib target RON kinase was enhanced in ruxolitinib-persistent cells. We show that phospho-JAK2 and phospho-RON can physically interact to sustain JAK/STAT signaling, and that the combination of crizotinib and ruxolitinib disrupts this interaction. Furthermore, RON knockdown suppresses proliferation and activation of JAK/STAT signaling in JAK2-mutated cells, and RON deletion in a JAK2V617F mouse MPN model decreases the disease burden. We also observed RON hyperactivation in MPN patient cells, suggesting that RON may be an important target of crizotinib in MPN.In summary, we demonstrate that crizotinib has preclinical efficacy in MPN patient cells, JAK2-mutated cell lines, and a JAK2-mutated mouse model, and that the combination of crizotinib with JAK inhibitors suppresses JAK inhibitor persistence. Our work suggests that crizotinib should be investigated for the treatment of patients with MPN.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
