| Abstract Text | A variety of cancers depend on JAK2 signaling, including the high-risk subset of B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (B-ALLs) with CRLF2 rearrangements. Type I JAK2 inhibitors induce paradoxical JAK2 hyperphosphorylation in these leukemias and have limited activity. To improve the efficacy of JAK2 inhibition in B-ALL, we developed the type II inhibitor CHZ868, which stabilizes JAK2 in an inactive conformation. CHZ868 potently suppressed the growth of CRLF2-rearranged human B-ALL cells, abrogated JAK2 signaling, and improved survival in mice with human or murine B-ALL. CHZ868 and dexamethasone synergistically induced apoptosis in JAK2-dependent B-ALLs and further improved in vivo survival compared to CHZ868 alone. These data support the testing of type II JAK2 inhibition in patients with JAK2-dependent leukemias and other disorders. | ||||||||||||

| JAK2 | L884P | missense | gain of function - predicted | JAK2 L884P lies within protein kinase domain 2 of the Jak2 protein (UniProt.org). L884P results in cytokine-independent growth in culture (PMID: 26175414), and has been demonstrated to confer resistance to Jak2 inhibitors in cultured cells (PMID: 26175414, PMID: 37290440), and therefore, is predicted to lead to a gain of Jak2 protein function. | Y |
