Epigenetic regulation of NFE2 overexpression in myeloproliferative neoplasms

Epigenetic therapy in myeloproliferative neoplasms: evidence and perspectives

The classic Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), which include polycythaemia vera, essential thrombocythaemia and primary myelofibrosis, originate from a stem cell-derived clonal myeloproliferation that manifests itself with variable haematopoietic cell lineage involvement; they are characterized by a high degree of similarities and the chance to transform each ...

Cytokine Regulation of Microenvironmental Cells in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

The term myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) refers to a heterogeneous group of diseases including not only polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), but also chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), and systemic mastocytosis (SM). Despite the clinical and biological differences between these diseases, common pathophysiological mechanisms have been identifie...

Epigenetics in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

A decade on from the description of JAK2 V617F, the MPNs are circumscribed by an increasingly intricate landscape. There is now evidence that they are likely the result of combined genetic dysregulation, with several mutated genes involved in the regulation of epigenetic mechanisms. Epigenetic changes are not due to a change in the DNA sequence but are reversible modifications that dictate the ...

Effects of Mutational Combinations on Philadelphia-Negative Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Esophageal lesions in myeloproliferative neoplasms.

A 67-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with worsening odynophagia. He had been diagnosed as having chronic neutrophilic leukemia based on excessive neutrophilia without blasts, anemia, hyperplastic bonemarrowwith normal neutrophilic maturation, and hepatosplenomegaly, without bcr/abl rearrangement [1]. Finally, he was rediagnosed as having myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), unclassifiab...
