Molecular-Targeted Therapy for Tumor-Agnostic Mutations in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10123008. [PMID: 36551764 PMCID: PMC9775249 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10123008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Comprehensive genomic profiling examinations (CGPs) have recently been developed, and a variety of tumor-agnostic mutations have been detected, leading to the development of new molecular-targetable therapies across solid tumors. In addition, the elucidation of hereditary tumors, such as breast and ovarian cancer, has pioneered a new age marked by the development of new treatments and lifetime management strategies required for patients with potential or presented hereditary cancers. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), however, few tumor-agnostic or hereditary mutations have been the focus of investigation, with associated molecular-targeted therapies remaining poorly developed. We focused on representative tumor-agnostic mutations such as the TP53, KIT, KRAS, BRCA1, ATM, JAK2, NTRK3, FGFR3 and EGFR genes, referring to a CGP study conducted in Japan, and we considered the possibility of developing molecular-targeted therapies for AML with tumor-agnostic mutations. We summarized the frequency, the prognosis, the structure and the function of these mutations as well as the current treatment strategies in solid tumors, revealed the genetical relationships between solid tumors and AML and developed tumor-agnostic molecular-targeted therapies and lifetime management strategies in AML.

Abstract
Objective: We aimed to investigate the frequency of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) mutations in cases with chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMDs), and the relationship between the presence of JAK2 mutation and leukocytosis and splenomegaly, retrospectively. Materials and Methods: Patients, who were diagnosed with BCR-ABL-negative CMDs according to diagnosis criteria of the World Health Organization and followed up at the hematology clinic between 2013 and 2015, were investigated in terms of the frequency of JAK2 mutation in cases with CMDs, and the relationship between the presence of JAK2 mutation and leukocytosis and splenomegaly, retrospectively. Results: In total, 100 patients, who were diagnosed with BCR-ABL-negative CMDs, were evaluated retrospectively. The mean age of the patients with JAK2 positivity was significantly higher compared to patients with negative. JAK2-positivity rates in the age groups were significantly different. Gender, diagnosis, splenomegaly, and leukocytosis were not statistically different for JAK2 positivity between the groups. Conclusion: JAK2 V617F mutation is more commonly seen in older age as a risk for complications related to CDMS. Splenomegaly and leukocytosis are not associated with JAK2 V617F mutation.

Clinical and Laboratory Features of JAK2 V617F, CALR, and MPL Mutations in Malaysian Patients with Classical Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN). INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:7582. [PMID: 34300032 PMCID: PMC8307561 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18147582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2021] [Revised: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Mutations of JAK2V617F, CALR, and MPL genes confirm the diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). This study aims to determine the genetic profile of JAK2V617F, CALR exon 9 Type 1 (52 bp deletion) and Type 2 (5 bp insertion), and MPL W515 L/K genes among Malaysian patients and correlate these mutations with clinical and hematologic parameters in MPN. Mutations of JAK2V617F, CALR, and MPL were analyzed in 159 Malaysian patients using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction, including 76 polycythemia vera (PV), 41 essential thrombocythemia (ET), and 42 primary myelofibrosis (PMF) mutations, and the demographics of the patients were retrieved. The result showed that 73.6% JAK2V617F, 5.66% CALR, and 27.7% were triple-negative mutations. No MPL W515L/K mutation was detected. In ET and PMF, the predominance type was the CALR Type 1 mutation. In JAK2V617F mutant patients, serum LDH was significantly higher in PMF compared to PV and ET. PV has a higher risk of evolving to post PV myelofibrosis compared to ET. A thrombotic event at initial diagnosis of 40.9% was high compared to global incidence. Only one PMF patient had a CALR mutation that transformed to acute myeloid leukemia. JAK2V617F and CALR mutations play an important role in diagnostics. Hence, every patient suspected of having a myeloproliferative neoplasm should be screened for these mutations.

Abstract
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). MPN are characterized by clonal proliferation of myeloid progenitors leading to erythrocytosis, thrombocytosis, or leukocytosis, and risk of hemorrhagic and thrombotic events, as well as myelofibrosis and blast transformation. The discovery of somatic mutations in MPN, namely JAK2 V617F, JAK2 exon 12, MPL, and CALR mutations, has permitted a more specific approach to diagnosis and treatment. The prevalence of JAK2 V617F mutations is higher than 95% in PV, 50%-75% in ET and 40%-75% in PMF. JAK2 exon 12 mutations are specific of PV. A 20%-30% of patients with ET and PMF present a CALR mutation. The screening of mutations strengthens the diagnosis of MPN since 97% of MPN have at least 1 somatic mutation. Interestingly, different mutations grant different phenotype and prognosis. Of particular importance, CALR mutations grant a favorable prognosis in ET and PMF, while ASXL1 mutations confer a poorer outcome. In fact, the use of CALR/ASXL1 status for the prognostication of patients has increased clinical value and is now suggested for guidance of therapy in PMF. The increasing importance of mutations in the management of MPN warrants a more frequent revision of current diagnostic criteria and prognostic models and a better understanding of the mechanisms leading to MPN subset differentiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to explore the relationship between JAK2V617F mutation allele burden and hematological parameters especially in coagulation function in Chinese population. METHODS This study included 133 Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) patients between 2013 and 2016. All the clinical and experimental data of patients were collected at the time of the diagnosis without any prior treatment, including blood parameters, coagulation function, splenomegaly, vascular events and chromosome karyotype. PCR and qPCR were used to detect JAK2V617F mutation and JAK2V617F mutation allele burden. RESULTS In polycythemia vera patients, a positive correlation between the allele burden of JAK2V617F mutation and PLT counts was found; in essential thrombocythemia (ET) patients, WBC counts, RBC counts, HB, and HCT were higher in mutated patients than in wild-type patients. Furthermore, PT-INR was higher in ET and PMF mutated patients. In addition, a positive correlation between the allele burden of JAK2V617F mutation and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) was observed in JAK2V617F mutated ET patients. CONCLUSIONS Higher hematologic parameters including counts of WBC, RBC, and PLT are closely associated with JAK2V617F mutation and its burden in Ph-negative MPNs; importantly, PT-INR, APTT are also related to JAK2V617F mutation and allele burden. Thus, our data indicate that JAK2V617F mutation allele burden might not only represent the burden of MPN but also alter the coagulation function.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The identification of mutations of the JAK2 gene is a useful marker in the diagnosis of polycythemia vera (PV) patients. We studied the frequency of JAK2 mutations in a group of PV patients because data are still very limited regarding this subject in Polish patients. METHODS The JAK2 V617F mutation was examined using the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR method. Direct sequencing and a cloning technique were performed to determine alternations in exon 12 of the JAK2 gene. RESULTS A group of 90 consecutive patients with a suspected diagnosis of polycythemia vera were investigated. In 91% of the cases, the JAK2 V617F mutation was identified. The remaining JAK2 V617F-negative patients were subjected to examination for JAK2 exon 12 by direct PCR product sequencing and the cloning technique. The following mutations were identified: H538-K539delinsL, E543-D544del and N542-E543del. These exon 12 mutants constituted 50% of PV JAK2 V617F-negative group and 4.4% (out of 90) of all PV patients (JAK2 V617F-positive and JAK2 V617F-negative). CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate the prevalence of JAK2 mutations (V617F and in exon 12) in PV cases. Moreover, the data show that direct sequencing is not an adequate technique for exon 12 mutation identification; therefore, appropriate methodology should be considered for using this molecular marker in the process of diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary idiopathic myelofibrosis (PMF) is a clonal Ph-chromosome negative myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by dysregulated kinase signaling and release of abnormal cytokines. In the recent past, following JAK2 V617F mutation invention, important revolution has been made in the molecular diagnostic biology of this disease. The rational of this study was to determine the mutational status of JAK2 V617F in Pakistan patients with PMF. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross sectional study, 20 patients with PMF were enrolled from January 2011 to December 2014. Diagnosis was based on WHO criteria for PMF. All patients were screened for G-T point mutation (V617F) in the JAK2 gene on chromosome 9 by allele specific PCR. RESULTS The mean age was 57.9 ± 16.5 years. The male to female ratio was 3:1. The frequency of JAK2 V617F positivity in our PMF patients was found to be 55%. Positive correlations of JAK2 V617F mutation were established with high TLC count, raised LDH and marked splenomegaly (P<0.05). No correlation of JAK2 V617F could be established with age and gender (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS The JAK2 V617F mutation frequency in our PMF patients was similar to those reported previously. In our hands JAK2 V617F mutated patients expressed an aggressive disease phenotype. Screening for the mutation in all suspected PMF cases could be beneficial in differentiating patients with reactive and clonal marrow fibrosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recent diagnostic and cancer reporting changes influencing myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) encourage the assessment of trends and examination of the recently identified MPN subtypes: polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), across the age continuum by race and ethnicity. METHODS Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data provided MPN incidence data since 1973 and MPN subtype data since 2001. Joinpoint regression estimated annual percent changes. Poisson regression estimated risk ratios. RESULTS The 2005 JAK2 V617F discovery and the 2008 WHO diagnostic guideline for the JAK2 V617F mutation coincide with a 31 % increase in ET and a 21 % decrease in PV incidence rates. We found that younger women had a 13-33 % higher ET risk and that women under the age of 34 had a 58 % higher PMF risk, relative to men. Blacks, aged 35-49 with a higher ET risk, also had a 69 % higher PMF risk relative to whites. CONCLUSION Demographic characteristic of ET and PMF patients may be useful for improving risk prediction and informing clinical screening and treatment strategies. Changing guidelines, new discoveries, and in-depth analysis of a large population-based study have implications for accurately identifying incident cases of MPNs, MPN subgroups, and health resource planning.
