Splenomegaly is one of the major clinical manifestations of primary myelofibrosis and is common also in other chronic Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms, causing symptoms and signs and affecting quality of life of patients diagnosed with these diseases. We aimed to study the impact that such alteration has on thrombotic risk and on the survival of patients with essential thrombocythemia and patients with Polycythemia Vera (PV). We studied the relationship between splenomegaly (and its grade), thrombosis and survival in 238 patients with et and 165 patients with PV followed at our center between January 1997 and May 2019.

Abstract Background Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) describe a group of diseases involving the bone marrow (BM). Classical MPNs are classified into chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). This classification is based on the presence of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome (BCR/ABL1). CML is BCR/ABL1-positive while PV, ET, and PMF are negative. JAK2 p. Val617Phe pathological variant is the most associated mutation in BCR/ABL1-negative MPNs. The frequency of JAK2 p. Val617Phe is 90–95% in PV patients, 50–60% in ET, and 40–50% in patients with PMF. Studies on MPL gene led to the revelation of a gain of function pathological variants in JAK2 p. Val617Phe-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). MPL p. W515 L/K pathological variants are the most common across all mutations in MPL gene. The prevalence of these pathological variants over the Egyptian population is not clear enough. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of MPL p. W515 L/K pathological variants in the Philadelphia (Ph)-negative MPNs over the Egyptian population. Results We have tested 60 patients with Ph-negative MPNs for MPL p. W515 L/K pathological variants. Median age was 51 (22–73) years. No MPL p. W515 L/K pathological variants were detected among our patients. JAK2 p. Val617Phe in PV and PMF patients showed significantly lower frequency than other studies. Splenomegaly was significantly higher in ET patients compared to other studies. Conclusion MPL p. W515 L/K pathological variants are rare across the Egyptian Ph-negative MPNs, and further studies on a large number are recommended. MPN patients in Egypt are younger compared to different ethnic groups.

Abstract Abstract 1992 The myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) can have a variable natural history. Polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia, in particular, are conditions that can extend over decades, but some patients have clinical progression to myelofibrosis or acute myeloid leukemia. As first articulated by Warburg, cancers are metabolically distinguished from normal tissues by the use of glycolysis under aerobic conditions. To metabolically characterize the blood cells of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, we measured the mitochondrial membrane potential using the cyanine dye, JC-1. In examining cells derived from the blood and/or marrow of 159 patients with primary myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia, we found that the mitochondrial membrane potential (FL2/FL1=electrochemical potential/mitochondrial mass) was elevated compared to the blood cells of normal individuals. Thirty five percent of patients with polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia had normal MMP. In contrast, 97% of patients with primary myelofibrosis, post-polycythemia myelofibrosis, post-essential thrombocythemia myelofibrosis and acute myeloid leukemia following an MPN had evidence of cell populations with higher mitochondrial membrane potential. Cells with distinctly higher mitochondrial membrane potential could be indentified in platelets and polymorphonuclear leukocytes; however the MMP of lymphocytes was normal, indicating that the alteration in metabolic state likely occurred in a multipotential myeloid stem cell. Cell populations were confirmed by co-staining with anti-CD19, -CD45, -GlycophorinA and -β3-integrin antibodies. Sequential analysis of patient samples found that the acquisition of higher mitochondrial membrane potential was stable and persistent over 2 years or more of follow up and that elevated membrane potential predisposed patients to disease progression. The balance of patients (65%) with ET had evidence of increased MMP suggesting the possibility of disease in an early state of evolution to a more aggressive condition. The increased MMP did not correlate with the presence of mutation in JAK2. These results indicate that clinically advanced MPN can be characterized by changes in mitochondrial physiology that might be identified non-invasively by flow cytometric staining with JC-1. In addition, the early nature of these changes may help to identify therapeutic targets. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Background:Janus Kinases (JAK) are tirosin-kinases that can promote cytokine production in immune and hematopoietic cells. The JAK-2 (V617F) mutation is the most frequently detected mutation in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) which include essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and undifferenciated MPN. JAK-2 (V617F) mutation displays a pro-inflammatory phenotype that may be associated to a higher risk of immune mediated diseases (IMID), thromboembolic complications or other cancers (1-3).Objectives:To evaluate the presence of a) IMID (rheumatic and non-rheumatic), b) cancer and, c) Deep vein thrombosis/ Venous thromboembolism (DVT/VTE) events in a cohort of patients with a positive JAK-2 (V617F) mutation.Methods:We studied all the patients diagnosed with a positive JAK-2 (V16F) mutation in a single University Hospital between January, 2004 and December, 2019.Results:The study included 130 patients (73 men/57 women; mean age, 70.1±14.5 years). They were diagnosed of ET (n=64, 49.2%), PV 46 (35.4%), undifferentiated MPN (n=12, 9.2%) and PMF (n=8, 6.1%). Of these patients, 54 (41.5 %) (44 non rheumatic and 10 rheumatic) were diagnosed with at least one IMID, 46 (35.4%) with other cancer different of MPN and 36 (27.7%) with DVT/VTE events. (Table 1/Figure 1).Conclusion:Due to its prevalence and potential complications, IMID should be taken into consideration when a patient is diagnosed with a positive JAK-2 (V617F) mutation.References:[1]Perner F, et al.

Objective. to determine the frequency of major somatic mutations in the JAK2, MPL and CALR genes in the genome of patients with Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms that occur in individuals who have been exposed to ionizing radiation as a result of the Chornobyl accident. Materials and methods. Molecular genetic analysis of genomic DNA samples isolated from blood was performed in 90 patients with Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasia (MPN) with a history of radiation exposure and 191 patients with spontaneous MPN utilizing allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results. The presence of major mutations in the genes JAK2, CALR and MPL was revealed in patients with MPN with a history of radiation exposure with a frequency 58.9 % (53 of 90), 12.2 % (11 of 90), and 0 % respectively, and without exposure with frequency 75.4 % (144 of 191), 3.1 % (6 out of 191) and 1.6 % (3 out of 191) respectively. Mutations JAK2 V617F in patients with spontaneous MPN were observed in each clinical form: polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET) and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). CALR mutations were detected exclusively in patients with PMF and ET, significantly more often in groups with a radiation exposure history (18.9 % and 33.3 %, vs. 4.2 % and 6.5 %) than without one. At the same time, the occurence of MPL mutations was determined only in patients with spontaneous MPN in 1.6 % of casees. Triple negative mutation status of genes JAK2, MPL and CALR prevailed in the group of patients with MPN with a history of radiation exposure and was 27.8 %, against 16.2 % in patients without radiation exposure (p = 0.05). Conclusions. Genomic research of patients with Ph-negative MPN revealed features of molecular genetic damage in those patients who were exposed to IR as a result of the Chornobyl accident and those with spontaneous MPN. The data obtained by determining of JAK2, MPL and CALR genes mutational status in the genome of patients with MPN is necessary to expand the understanding of the mechanism of leukogenesis, especially caused by radiation. Key words: myeloproliferative neoplasia, polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, primary myelofibrosis, JAK2 V617F, MPL and CALR, ionizing radiation.
