The CCDC6::JAK2 chimeric protein retains the CCDC6 coiled-coil domain and the JAK2 kinase domain. Dimerization of chimeric proteins through coiled-coil domains promotes JAK2 autophosphorylation leading to constitutive activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway.
This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of calcineurin inhibitor monotherapy (CNI) versus combination therapy [CNI and tofacitinib (TOF) or cyclophosphamide (CTX)] as initial immunosuppressive regimens for MDA5+DM. In our study, combination therapy may improve survival prognosis in MDA5+ DM patients. Nevertheless, vigilant monitoring for opportunistic infections during treatment is essential.

Although the JAK1/2 inhibitor Ruxolitinib is clinically approved, its efficacy is limited by toxicity to normal cells and the development of drug resistance...Moreover, through a compound screen, followed by chemical proteomics and compound optimization, WWQ-03-012 is discovered, which selectively degrades mutant JAK2, induces primary leukemia cells death, and inhibits MPN progression through targeting DESI2 enzymatic activity in vitro and in vivo. These studies provide a novel therapeutic strategy against mutated JAK2 signaling in MPN and sAML.
