Decreasing circ_0014614 promotes the differentiation of bone marrow flineage cells into megakaryocytes in essential thrombocythemia via activiation of miR-138-5p/caspase3 axis. (PubMed, Blood Cells Mol Dis)
Circ_0014614 was down-regulated in ET bone marrow and bone marrow lineage cells, and upregulating circ_0014614 can inhibit bone marrow lineage cells' proliferation and differentiation into megakaryocytes. Mechanistically, circ_0014614 functioned as ceRNA via sponging miR-138-5p and alleviated the inhibitory effect of miR-138-5p on its target caspase3, which potentially deters tumor activity in ET.

BRAF mutation in myeloid neoplasm: incidences and clinical outcomes. (PubMed, Leuk Lymphoma)
Although the acquisition of BRAF mutation during disease progression did not correlate with unfavorable outcomes, its clearance through chemotherapy or stem cell transplant exhibited favorable outcomes (median overall survival of 34.8 months versus 10.4 months, p = 0.047). Furthermore, G469A was the most frequently observed BRAF mutation, differing from solid tumors and hairy cell leukemia, where V600E mutations were predominant.

ADAMTS13, von Willebrand Factor, Platelet Microparticles, Factor VIII, and Impact of Somatic Mutations in the Pathogenesis of Splanchnic Vein Thrombosis Associated with BCR-ABL-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms. (PubMed, Life (Basel))
The significant increase in circulating MV, VWF, and FVIII:C in the MPN patients and in the patients with thrombosis supports the role of endothelium damage in promoting thrombotic events. In particular, a significant increase in VWF and FVIII:C levels was found in the MPN patients with SVT.

CALR but Not JAK2 Mutations Are Associated with an Overexpression of Retinoid X Receptor Alpha in Essential Thrombocythemia. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
The use of drugs targeting the activation or blockade of this target in the analyzed cell lines did not result in changes in cell viability. However, RXRA might be relevant in the disease, pointing to the need for future research testing retinoids and other drugs targeting RXRα for the treatment of ET patients.

Renal tubular necrosis associated with anagrelide administration: a case report. (PubMed, CEN Case Rep)
After transitioning from anagrelide to hydroxyurea and discontinuing bisoprolol, her renal function improved. This case suggests the importance of considering anagrelide as a potential cause of renal dysfunction in patients using this medication. Therefore, renal biopsy, combined with a comprehensive medical history, is crucial for evaluating the etiology of renal injury in such cases.

Exploring hematological alterations and genetics linked to SNV rs10974944 in myeloproliferative neoplasms among Amazon patients. (PubMed, Sci Rep)

Chronic neutrophilic leukemia and atypical chronic myeloid leukemia: 2024 update on diagnosis, genetics, risk stratification, and management. (PubMed, Am J Hematol)

Actionable mutations (NRAS/KRAS, ETNK1) have also been identified, supporting novel agents targeting involved pathways. Preclinical and clinical studies evaluating new drugs (e.g., fedratinib, phase 2) and combinations are detailed.

Clinical laboratory characteristics and gene mutation spectrum of Ph-negative MPN patients with atypical variants of JAK2, MPL, or CALR. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
These data indicate that classical mutations of JAK2, MPL, and CALR may not be completely mutually exclusive with atypical variants of JAK2, MPL, and CALR. In this study, 30 different atypical variants of JAK2, MPL, and CALR were identified, JAK2 G127D being the most common (42%, 23/55). Interestingly, JAK2 G127D only co-occurred with JAK2V617F mutation. The incidence of atypical variants of JAK2 in Ph-negative MPNs was much higher than that of the atypical variants of MPL and CALR. The significance of these atypical variants will be further studied in the future.

CCN2/CTGF expression does not correlate with fibrosis in myeloproliferative neoplasms, consistent with noncanonical TGF-β signaling driving myelofibrosis. (PubMed, Virchows Arch)
Remarkably, CCN2 expression did not correlate with fibrosis or other disease parameters such as platelet count or thrombovascular events, neither in this subgroup nor in the whole study group. This suggests that in BM of MPN patients other, CCN2-independent pathways (such as noncanonical TGF-β signaling) may be more important for the development of fibrosis.

While anti-platelets and conventional cytoreductive agents, mainly hydroxycarbamide (hydroxyurea), anagrelide and pegylated interferon, remain the cornerstone of treatment, recent research has shed light on the effectiveness of novel therapies that may help improve outcomes. This comprehensive review focuses on the evolving landscape of treatment strategies in ET, with an emphasis on the role of molecular profiling in guiding therapeutic decisions. Besides evidence-based management according to revised IPSET-thrombosis stratification, we also provide specific observations for those patients with CALR-, MPL-mutated and triple-negative ET, as well as cases with high-risk mutations.
