TNFα facilitates clonal expansion of JAK2V617F positive cells in myeloproliferative neoplasms
23 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Proinflammatory cytokines such as TNFα are elevated in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), but their contribution to disease pathogenesis is unknown. Here we reveal a central role for TNFα in promoting clonal dominance of JAK2(V617F) expressing cells in MPN. We show that JAK2(V617F) kinase regulates TNFα expression in cell lines and primary MPN cells and TNFα expression is correlated with...
