Focal adhesion kinase inhibition decreases cell viability and induces apoptosis of JAK2 V617F positive cells

Abstract Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK) protein participates in proliferation, migration, cell survival, and apoptosis process. It has been described as overexpressed in several neoplasms being a promising target for therapy. BCR-ABL negative chronic Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) are clonal disorders c...

Splanchnic vein thrombosis as a manifestation of latent myeloproliferative neoplasm associated with sticky platelet syndrome

Abstract Vein thrombosis of unusual sites such as the splanchnic region continues to be not only a diagnostic but also a therapeutic challenge for the clinician due to its manifestation and associated pathologies. Latent JAK2 (Janus kinase 2) positive myeloproliferative neoplasm associated with sticky pl...

Exploring redox vulnerabilities in JAK2V617F-positive cellular models

ABSTRACT Background: In Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) models, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are elevated and have been implicated in genomic instability, JAK2/STAT signaling amplification, and disease progression. Although the potential effects of ROS on the MPN phen...

Características clínicas y epidemiológicas de las neoplasias mieloproliferativas Philadelphia negativas en el sistema público de salud de Chile

Rev. méd. Chile; 149 (11), 2021
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 primary myelofibrosis (PMF). ...

Baricitinib en pacientes con COVID-19

CONTEXTO CLÍNICO: La enfermedad por el Coronavirus 2019 (COVID–19, por su sigla en inglés Coronavirus Disease 2019) es una enfermedad respiratoria de humanos producida por un nuevo coronavirus identificado con la sigla SARS-CoV-2. El 11 de marzo de 2020 la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) decl...

Azeliragon ameliorates Alzheimer's disease via the Janus tyrosine kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription signaling pathway

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: TTP488, an antagonist of the receptor for advanced glycation end-products, was evaluated as a potential treatment for patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanism underlying the protective action of TTP488 against AD has not yet been fully explored. METHODS...

Meta-analysis of the frequency of JAK2 in primary myelofibrosis according to the detection method used

Acta méd. colomb; 45 (4), 2020
Abstract Background and objective: in the global scientific literature, the frequency of JAK2 is highly heterogenous in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms. The objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence of the JAK2 mutation in primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and compare it according to the dete...

Cardioprotective effect of taurine and β-alanine against cardiac disease in myocardial ischemia and reperfusion-induced rats

BACKGROUND: The present study analyzed the synergistic protective effect of β-alanine and taurine against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion. Myocardial infarct size, lipid peroxidation, and levels of glutathione peroxidase (Gpx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase, tumor necro...

Trombose essencial: uma revisão da literatura

RBAC. (Online); 52 (1), 2020
Trombose essencial é uma das doenças mieloproliferativas crônicas, rara e de etiologia ainda desconhecida, mas que apresenta risco alto de eventos trombóticos e/ou hemorrágicos, uma vez que acomete as células megacariocíticas e, consequentemente, as plaquetas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realiza...

Essential thrombocythemia - a predisponent factor for stroke

SUMMARY The essential thrombocythemia is one of the seven described forms of myeloproliferative neoplasms. It is characterized by megakaryocytic hyperplasia with consequent thrombocytosis maintained in the peripheral blood, favoring the occurrence of thrombo-hemorrhagic phenomena. We present the case of ...
