Abstract
JAK2V617F, an acquired mutation of JAK2, is present in a majority of patients with polycythemia vera and to a lesser extent among patients with the other myeloproliferative disorders. We analyzed the effect of JAK2V617F on the expression of polycythemia rubra vera 1(PRV-1), using an in vitro model. Compared to wild-type JAK2, the presence of JAK2 V617F increased both PRV-1 protein and mRNA levels in murine myeloid cells. A JAK2 inhibitor eliminated the V617F-induced increase in PRV-1 expression.
