Abstract Text An important limitation of FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in FLT3-ITD positive AML is the development of resistance. To better understand resistance to FLT3 inhibition, we examined FLT3-ITD positive cell lines which had acquired resistance to midostaurin or sorafenib. In 6 out of 23 TKI resistant cell lines we were able to detect a JAK1 V658F mutation, a mutation that led to reactivation of the CSF2RB-STAT5 pathway. Knockdown of JAK1, or treatment with a JAK inhibitor, resensitized cells to FLT3 inhibition. Out of 136 patients with FLT3-ITD mutated AML and exposed to FLT3 inhibitor, we found seven different JAK family mutations in six of the cases (4.4%), including five bona fide, activating mutations. Except for one patient, the JAK mutations occurred de novo (n = 4) or displayed increasing variant allele frequency after exposure to FLT3 TKI (n = 1). In vitro each of the five activating variants were found to induce resistance to FLT3-ITD inhibition, which was then overcome by dual FLT3/JAK inhibition. In conclusion, our data characterize a novel mechanism of resistance to FLT3-ITD inhibition and may offer a potential therapy, using dual JAK and FLT3 inhibition.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

FLT3 R834_D835del deletion unknown FLT3 R834_D835del results in the deletion of two amino acids in the protein kinase domain of the Flt3 protein from amino acids 834 to 835 (UniProt.org). R834_D835del has been identified in sequencing studies (PMID: 31471587, PMID: 33149267), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Flt3 protein function is unknown (PubMed, Nov 2024).
