Project description:Since most DNA methylation studies in Classic Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) – polycythaemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythaemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) - have been performed on a gene-by-gene basis, a more comprehensive methylation profiling is needed to know the real implication of this alteration. In order to investigate the DNA methylation profile in chronic and transformed phase MPNs, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation arrays in 71 chronic (24 PV, 23 ET and 24 PMF) and 13 transformed MPNs. The three types of chronic MPNs showed the same aberrant DNA methylation pattern when compared to controls. Differentially methylated genes (DMG) were enriched in a gene network centered on the NF-κB pathway, indicating that they may be involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases. In the case of transformed MPNs we detected an increased number of DMGs with respect to chronic MPNs. Interestingly, these genes were enriched in a list of DMGs in primary AMLs and in a gene network centered around the IFN pathway. Further studies are clearly needed to elucidate the role of DMGs in MPNs, but our results suggest that this alteration plays an important role in the pathogenesis and transformation of MPNs and that modulation of these pathways would allow us to improve the quality of life of these patients.

The methylation profile of 24 PBMCs samples from patients diagnosed with Policytemia Vera, 23 from Essential Thrombocythemia and 24 from primary myelofibrosis was assessed. We also included 13 secondary acute myeloid leukaemia (AML): 5 transformed PMF,4 transformed TE and 4 transformed PV. As reference,4 healthy donor PBMCs samples from whole peripheral blood and 4 PBMCs samples from bone marrow were used.

Project description:Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) consist of primary myelofibrosis (PMF), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and seconday myelofibrosis (SMF), comprising post-ET-MF(pET-MF) and post-PV-MF(pPV-MF). In this dataset, we compare the gene expression data of bone marrow or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (BMMCs/PBMCs) of CD34+ cells from MPN patients and healthy donors.
Project description:V617F driver mutation of JAK2 is the leading cause of the Philadelphia-chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). Loss of Plek2 ameliorated JAK2V617F-induced myeloproliferative phenotypes including erythrocytosis, neutrophilia, thrombocytosis, and splenomegaly, thereby reverting the widespread vascular occlusions and lethality of JAK2V617F knockin mice. To reveal the role of Plek2 in the pathogenesis of JAK2V617F-induced MPNs and the detail mechanisms of its rescue, we performed RNA sequencing to analyze the gene expression profiles change between JAK2V617F/+ Plek2+/+ and JAK2V617F/+ Plek2-/- erythroblasts and hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells.
Project description:Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) together with polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) belongs to the classic Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). PV and ET can evolve to secondary myelofibrosis (SMF) giving rise to post-PV (PPV) and post-ET (PET) myelofibrosis (MF). PMF and SMF patients are currently managed in the same way and prediction of survival is based on the same prognostic models, even if it has been demonstrated that they can’t accurately distinguish different risk categories in SMF. In the last few years interest grew concerning the ability of gene expression profiling (GEP) to provide valuable prognostic information for clinical decision making. To construct a molecular signature that can predict survival according to gene expression we studied GEP of granulocytes from 114 MF patients, including 35 prefibrotic/early PMF (Pre-PMF), 37 overt PMF (Overt-PMF), 26 PET and 16 PPV, using microarray platform.
