“PHENOTYPIC” mimicry in the classical MPN Primary Myelofibrosis Essential Thrombocythemia Polycythemia Vera “Three disorders, or manifestations of one same disorder ?”
“MOLECULAR” mimicry in the classical MPD Primary 50-60% Myelofibrosis JAK2 V617F 50-60% >95% Essential Thrombocythemia Polycythemia Vera “Three disorders, or the same disorder ?”
Animal models -I • Retroviral models (Wernig, Blood 2006; Lacout, Blood 2006; Bumm, Cancer Res 2006; Zaleska, Plos One 2006) • Transgenic models (Tiedt, Blood 2008; Xing, Blood 2008; Shide, Leukemia 2007) • Knock-in models – Constitutive (Marty, Blood 2010) – Conditional (Mullally, Cancer Cell 2010; Akada, Blood 2010; Li, Blood 2010)
JAK2V617F is sufficient to induce a MPN PV MF Zaleska, Plos One 2006
JAK2V617F level determines disease phenotype Retroviral transduction Transgenic mice VavCre; FF1 MxCre ; FF1 wt wt wt V617F V617F V617F ET-like disease PV-like disease PV-like disease • NO erythrocytosis • erythrocytosis • erythrocytosis • thrombocytosis • thrombocytosis • NO thrombocytosis • moderate neutrophilia • neutrophilia • neutrophilia Tiedt R, Blood 2008
JAK2V617F level determines disease severity KI mouse with JAK2V617F under endogenous JAK2 promoter control • Heterozygous mice has features of PV homozygosity • Significantly greater leukocytosis, reticulocytosis, thrombocytosis • Marked expansion of erythroid progenitors and EPO-independent colonies • Larger spleen size • Bone marrow fibrosis Akada H, Blood 2010

A “ continuum ” between JAK2V617F pos ET and PV JAK2V617F pos ET resembles PV: - increased erythropoiesis lower ferritin lower MCV lower sEPO - higher leukocyte count - more venous thromboses - more frequent PV “ transformation ” Campbell P, Lancet 2006

JAK2 V617F allele burden and disease progression • Transformation to MF was more frequent among homo PV (23% vs 2% in hetero; P< .009 Tefferi A, Cancer 2006 ; and, 11.5% vs 1.4%, P< .001 Vannucchi A, Blood 2007 ) and in homo ET (14.3%) vs hetero (4.7%) vs WT (1.6%; P < .01) Vannucchi A, Blood 2007 PV PV Silver RT, 2010; Passamonti F, 2010
