Shaping the Future of Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Therapy: Immune-Based Strategies and Targeted Innovations. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
These include new JAK inhibitors with greater specificity for JAK2, as well as "add-on" medications designed to enhance the effectiveness of ruxolitinib, in both patients who are new to the drug and in those who have shown suboptimal responses. Additionally, there is ongoing exploration of novel therapeutic targets. In this review, we will explore the immunotherapy approaches that are currently used in clinical practice for MPNs, as well as emerging strategies that are likely to change the treatment of these diseases in the coming years.

Anemia in Myelofibrosis: A Focus on Proactive Management and the Role of Momelotinib. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Summarized are traditional approaches to anemia management and the clinical trial efficacy and safety data that support momelotinib as an option in each setting from mild to severe anemia, including in the context of co-occurring thrombocytopenia. With the availability of momelotinib and other emerging therapies directed at anemia control, early treatment of anemia to avoid progression and support improvement in eligible patients with myelofibrosis should be a primary consideration.

Co-targeting of the thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor to decrease immunotherapeutic resistance in CRLF2-rearranged Ph-like and Down syndrome acute lymphoblastic leukemia. (PubMed, Leukemia)
Upon ruxolitinib withdrawal, TSLPRCART functionality recovered in vivo with clearance of subsequent ALL rechallenge. These translational studies demonstrate an effective two-pronged therapeutic strategy that mitigates acute CART-induced hyperinflammation and provides potential anti-leukemia 'maintenance' relapse prevention for CRLF2-rearranged Ph-like and DS-ALL.

Inhibition of RhoA-mediated secretory autophagy in megakaryocytes mitigates myelofibrosis in mice. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
Finally, disease hallmarks in MPL W515L -transplanted mice were attenuated upon treatment with the autophagy inhibitor hydroxychloroquine or the ROCK inhibitor Y27632, either as monotherapy or in combination with the JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib. Overall, our data indicate that aberrant cytokine secretion is dependent on secretory autophagy downstream of RhoA, targeting of which represents a novel therapeutic avenue in the treatment of myelofibrosis. TGFβ1 is released from megakaryocytes via RhoA-mediated secretory autophagy, and targeting this process can alleviate fibrosis progression in a preclinical mouse model of myelofibrosis.

Refractory skin ulcers and afebrile bacteremia with Staphylococcus aureus in anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis: a case report. (PubMed, Mod Rheumatol Case Rep)
Anti-MDA5-positive DM was diagnosed, and she was treated with triple therapy combined with tofacitinib because poor prognostic factors existed...Subsequent antibiotic therapy resolved both the cutaneous and pulmonary lesions. This case highlights the importance of considering bacteremia and performing blood cultures when DM-related skin ulcers resist conventional treatments, even without fever during immunosuppressive therapy.

H19 promotes polarization and alternative splicing in tumor-associated macrophages, facilitating pancreatic cancer progression. (PubMed, Cancer Lett)
Mechanistically, H19 competitively binds to the mRNA of YTHDC1 with MiR-107, and also interacts with the YTHDC1 protein, regulating the stability of SRSF1 and thereby affecting the alternative splicing of IL-6 and IL-10. Utilizing organoids and the patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model, it is found that ruxolitinib may represent a promising treatment option for PDAC patients with high H19 expression.

BV and beyond: how to incorporate novel agents into PTCL management. (PubMed, Hematology Am Soc Hematol Educ Program)
These include single-agent brentuximab vedotin, histone deacetylase inhibitors, duvelisib, ruxolitinib, EZH2 inhibitors, and azacitidine, among others. Follicular helper T-cell lymphomas, given frequent mutations in epigenetic regulator genes, may preferentially respond to agents such as histone deacetylase inhibitors, EZH2 inhibitors, and hypomethylating agents. As these therapies evolve in their use for both relapsed/refractory disease and then into frontline treatment, subtype-specific therapy will likely help personalize care for patients with PTCL.

Tofacitinib Efficacy/Safety in Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis by Baseline Body Mass Index: A Post Hoc Analysis of Phase 2/3 Trials. (PubMed, Rheumatol Ther)
Regardless of baseline BMI category, efficacy was greater with tofacitinib versus placebo in patients with AS, and no treatment effect differences between categories were observed, with exceptions for BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 (more active/treatment-refractory disease and a smaller sample size). Overall, tofacitinib safety was generally comparable across categories; however, AE/SAE rates with tofacitinib were higher in the BMI < 25 kg/m2 category (which had more current smokers). This post hoc analysis demonstrates that tofacitinib can be considered as a treatment option for AS, regardless of baseline BMI category; however, interpretation was limited by small sample sizes and differences in sample sizes and baseline characteristics across categories.

Selective small molecule inhibitors for hidradenitis suppurativa: Today and tomorrow. (PubMed, J Am Acad Dermatol)
Currently there are five selective SMIs available in the United States with demonstrated efficacy for HS in clinical studies including apremilast, topical ruxolitinib, upadacitinib, fostamatinib, and sirolimus. These selective SMIs target four pathways hypothesized to be important to HS pathogenesis including phosphodiestase 4, Janus kinases, spleen tyrosine kinase, and mammalian target of rapamycin. Several new SMIs are currently in the clinical trial pipeline targeting Bruton's tyrosine kinase, aryl hydrocarbon receptors, heat shock protein 90 as well as interleukin-1 and -17 signaling pathways.

Elevated type I interferon signaling defines the proliferative advantage of ARF and p53 mutant tumor cells. (PubMed, bioRxiv)
In fact, the use of selective JAK1 inhibitors ruxolitinib or baricitinib inhibited the induction of ISG's and the proliferation of p53 and ARF deleted cells. We identify a group of solid human tumors that lack functional p53 and ARF, show an expression signature of the upregulated type I IFN response genes, and are sensitive to selective JAK1 inhibitors. These data suggest that the type I IFN response acts as a positive driver of proliferation in the absence of p53 and ARF and, as such, presents itself as a potential therapeutic target in aggressive solid tumors.

Mycophenolate Mofetil, an Inhibitor of Inosine Monophosphate Dehydrogenase, and Tofacitinib, a Janus Kinase Inhibitor, Attenuate Airway Inflammation and Hyperresponsiveness in a Mouse Model of Allergic Asthma. (PubMed, Molecules)
In turn, the results indicate that the anti-asthmatic action induced by the studied agents is not mediated by the generation of forkhead box protein 3-expressing CD4+ regulatory T cells. Clinical implication of the the results suggest that MMF and TFB may exert anti-asthmatic action, and thus they may be considered therapeutic options for the treatment of allergic asthma cases resistant to conventional/existing treatment.
