Abstract:

Janus tyrosine kinase 2 (JAK2) mediates downstream signaling of cytokine receptors in all hematological lineages, constitutively active somatic JAK2 mutations play key roles in the pathology of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Recently, germline JAK2 mutations are also associated with triple-negative MPNs. A novel germline mutation JAK2 V625F is reported to be involved in a subset of MPNs patients. However, the pathogenesis of this mutation caused MPN is still unclear. In this study, the homology models of JAK2 V625F showed that the newly formed interaction between F625 and Y613 disrupted the JAK2 JH1-JH2 domain interactions was responsible for its activation, when F625 and Y613 interaction was disrupted, its activity significantly decreased. While, when this interaction was repaired whether by forming hydrogen bond or salt bond, it would cause JAK2 activation. Biochemical studies also demonstrated that JAK2 V625F mutation led to JAK2-STAT5 pathway activation and promoted the proliferation of BaF3 cells. Thus, our results herein provide clues to understand the mechanism JAK2 V625F mutation caused MPNs and give information for the development of JAK2 mutation specific inhibitors.
