Prevalence of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Asthma in Polycythemia Vera and Essential Thrombocythemia and Its Prognostic Implications. (PubMed, J Clin Med)
Statistically significant interactions existed between COPD/asthma, female sex (HR 3.94, 95% CI 1.01-11.02), ET phenotype (HR 7.1, 95% CI 15.3-16.7), JAK2 positive status (HR 4.17, 95% CI 1.04-6.9), hydroxyurea use (HR 4.67, 95% CI 1.10-7.43), and the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors (HR 8.1, 95% CI 1.55-10.72) with overall thrombotic risk (interaction p < 0.050 for all analyses)...There was no effect of COPD/asthma on overall survival. These results provide an important signal regarding the potentially inferior outcomes in ET/PV patients presenting with these common respiratory disorders and may help to further personalize MPN management.

Identification of a Novel miR-122-5p/CDC25A Axis and Potential Therapeutic Targets for Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
Modulating the miR-122-5p/CDC25A axis may provide potential molecular targets for inhibiting CML progression through regulation of cell cycle pathways. Findings are exploratory and based on bioinformatics with limited in vitro expression confirmation; functional studies are required to establish causality.

Chronic Myeloid Leukemia and the T315I BCR::ABL1 Mutation. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
One of the mutations that is still an on-going challenge in clinical and scientific field is the T315I mutation, since it gives patients a poor prognosis attributable to acquired resistance to therapy. In the following narrative review, we will discuss the current knowledge on the T315I mutation, explore the most suitable treatment options, examine the role of third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and outline potential future therapeutic strategies.

Oncostatin M induced by STAT5-activating oncogenes promotes disease progression in hematologic malignancies. (PubMed, Signal Transduct Target Ther)
These findings establish OSM as a key mediator linking oncogenic STAT5 activation to remodeling of the microenvironment and immune suppression. Targeting OSM signaling therefore represents a promising therapeutic strategy to alleviate disease progression in myeloproliferative neoplasms and related malignancies.

Integrin-dependence of extramedullary erythropoiesis in the spleen of Jak2-V617F positive myeloproliferative neoplasm in mice. (PubMed, Exp Hematol)
This demonstrated that the spatial distribution of the marginal zone, red pulp and white pulp remained unaltered upon anti-integrin treatment in JAK2-V617F knock-in mice. In summary, the present study identified a previously unrecognized role of the β1-integrin VLA-4 and of β2-integrin chains in extramedullary erythropoiesis of the spleen in JAK2-V617F-induced disease.

Interferon alpha in myeloproliferative neoplasms: evidence and practical considerations for clinical care. (PubMed, Leuk Lymphoma)
Interferon alpha (IFN-α) has both anti-proliferative and immunomodulatory effects on MPN HSCs, and therefore is an effective treatment modality for PV, ET, and MF. In this review, we discuss the rationale for IFN-α use in MPNs, examine the evidence supporting its use, and convey practical considerations.

Targeting Musashi-2 to counteract senescence and resistance in chronic myeloid leukemia: enhancing the efficacy of imatinib therapy. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
In conclusion, MSI2 inhibition, in combination with TKI therapy, has shown to overcome drug resistance and mitigate senescence in preclinical CML models, and suggesting a potential strategy to target CML LSCs.

Platelets display immunophenotypic alterations and dysregulated transcriptomic signature in Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms. (PubMed, Thromb Res)
MPN platelets are intrinsically activated and transcriptionally dysregulated, even in treated patients. These findings underscore the critical role of platelets in MPN-associated thromboinflammation, highlighting platelet contribution to hemostatic and thrombotic complications.
