JAK2V617F-Positive Endothelial Cells Induce Apoptosis and Release JAK2V617F-Positive Microparticles

Objective: Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) have a high propensity for thrombosis, which has been attributed to increased blood counts, endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, and inflammation. The presence of the JAK2V617F mutation in the ECs of MPN patients has been...

description Objective: Philadelphia chromosome-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) have a high propensity for thrombosis, which has been attributed to increased blood counts, endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, and inflammation. The presence of the JAK2V617F mutation in the ECs of MPN patients has been confirmed, but the consequences of EC involvement by JAK2V617F in the pathogenesis of thrombosis are unclear. Endothelial microparticles (EMPs) released from ECs play an important role in endothelial dysfunction and also in the intercellular exchange of biological signals and information. Several studies have revealed that patients with JAK2V617F and a thrombosis history have increased numbers of MPs in their circulation. Materials and Methods: The current study utilized a lentiviral transduction model of JAK2 wild type (JAK2wt) or JAK2V617F encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) into human umbilical vein ECs to determine the effect of JAK2V617F on ECs. EC infected with JAK2V617F, JAK2WT, and only-GFP were tested after two days of culture. Results: The proteins of ECs that potentially play a role in the development of thrombosis, including endothelial protein C receptor, thrombomodulin, and tissue factor, were detected by flow cytometry analysis with no statistical significance. Increased annexin-V uptake of JAK2V617F and JAK2wt ECs compared to GFP-alone ECs was detected. The EMP production in the supernatants of the EC culture was investigated. Genotyping of the EMPs revealed the presence of genomic DNA and RNA fragments in EMP cargos. JAK2V617F-positive DNA was detected in EMPs released from JAK2V617F-infected ECs and EMPs were shown to carry the genotype of the cell of origin. Conclusion: JAK2V617F-positive EMPs were shown for the first time in the literature. This novel research provides the first evidence that EMPs might regulate neighboring and distant cells via their cargo materials. Thus, the direct effect of JAK2V617F on ECs and their functions suggests that different mechanisms might play a role in the pathogenesis of thrombosis in MPNs.
