Abstract Text | Enzymatic inhibitors of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) are in clinical development for the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with rearrangements of the cytokine receptor subunit cytokine receptor-like factor 2 (CRLF2), and other tumors with constitutive JAK2 signaling. In this study, we identify G935R, Y931C, and E864K mutations within the JAK2 kinase domain that confer resistance across a panel of JAK inhibitors, whether present in cis with JAK2 V617F (observed in MPNs) or JAK2 R683G (observed in B-ALL). G935R, Y931C, and E864K do not reduce the sensitivity of JAK2-dependent cells to inhibitors of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), which promote the degradation of both wild-type and mutant JAK2. HSP90 inhibitors were 100-1,000-fold more potent against CRLF2-rearranged B-ALL cells, which correlated with JAK2 degradation and more extensive blockade of JAK2/STAT5, MAP kinase, and AKT signaling. In addition, the HSP90 inhibitor AUY922 prolonged survival of mice xenografted with primary human CRLF2-rearranged B-ALL further than an enzymatic JAK2 inhibitor. Thus, HSP90 is a promising therapeutic target in JAK2-driven cancers, including those with genetic resistance to JAK enzymatic inhibitors. |

JAK2 | E864K | missense | gain of function - predicted | JAK2 E864K lies within protein kinase domain 2 of the Jak2 protein (UniProt.org). E864K results in increased Jak2 and Stat5 phosphorylation and prevents apoptosis in the presence of a Jak inhibitor (PMID: 22916261), and has been described as a secondary drug resistance mutation in the context of other Jak2 activating mutations (PMID: 22916261, PMID: 22271575), and therefore, is predicted to lead to a gain of Jak2 protein function. | Y |
JAK2 | G935R | missense | gain of function - predicted | JAK2 G935R lies within protein kinase domain 2 of the Jak2 protein (UniProt.org). G935R results in increased Jak2 and Stat5 phosphorylation, prevents apoptosis in the presence of a Jak inhibitor (PMID: 22916261), and has been described as a secondary drug resistance mutation in the context of other Jak2 activating mutations (PMID: 22271575, PMID: 22916261), and therefore, is predicted to lead to a gain of Jak2 protein function. | Y |
