BACKGROUND/AIM: In myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) is activated by mutations including JAK2V617F (JAK2VF). It is unclear whether JAK kinases [i.e. JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, or tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2)] other than JAK2 have cooperative actions such as enhancement or suppression of JAK2. If other kinases enhance activation, therapies that co-target them could have a therapeutic efficacy. We examined the role of TYK2 in Jak2VF-induced murine MPN.
We crossed Jak2VF transgenic mice and Tyk2-knockout (Tyk2KO) mice to generate Jak2VF/Tyk2KO mice. The disease severity and treatment effect with a JAK2 inhibitor was compared between Jak2VF and Jak2VF/Tyk2KO mice.
Both types of mice developed MPN, and there were no differences in peripheral blood counts, spleen weight, or survival period. Upon JAK2 inhibitor therapy, both types of mice had equally improved leukocytosis and splenomegaly.
TYK2 does not have cooperative effects with JAK2VF upon MPN onset nor in the presence of a JAK2 inhibitor.
背景/目的:在骨髓增殖性肿瘤(MPN)中,Janus激酶2(JAK2)可通过包括JAK2V617F(JAK2VF)在内的突变被激活。目前尚不清楚除JAK2之外的JAK激酶[即JAK1、JAK2、JAK3或酪氨酸激酶2(TYK2)]是否具有协同作用,如增强或抑制JAK2。如果其他激酶增强激活作用,共同靶向它们的疗法可能具有治疗效果。我们研究了TYK2在Jak2VF诱导的小鼠MPN中的作用。
我们将Jak2VF转基因小鼠与Tyk2基因敲除(Tyk2KO)小鼠杂交,以生成Jak2VF/Tyk2KO小鼠。比较了Jak2VF小鼠和Jak2VF/Tyk2KO小鼠之间的疾病严重程度以及JAK2抑制剂的治疗效果。
两种类型的小鼠均发生了MPN,在外周血细胞计数、脾脏重量或生存期方面没有差异。在接受JAK2抑制剂治疗后,两种类型的小鼠的白细胞增多和脾肿大均得到了同等程度的改善。
在MPN发病时以及存在JAK2抑制剂的情况下,TYK2与JAK2VF没有协同作用。
