摘要

JAK (Janus Kinase) inhibitors, such as ruxolitinib, were introduced a decade ago for treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). To evaluate ruxolitinib’s impact on MPN clonal evolution, we interrogate a myelofibrosis patient cohort with longitudinal molecular evaluation and discover that ruxolitinib is associated with clonal outgrowth of RAS pathway mutations. Single-cell DNA sequencing combined with ex vivo treatment of RAS mutated CD34+ primary patient cells, demonstrates that ruxolitinib induces RAS clonal selection both in a JAK/STAT wild-type and hyper-activated context. RAS mutations are associated with decreased transformation-free and overall survival only in patients treated with ruxolitinib. In vitro and in vivo competition assays demonstrate increased cellular fitness of RAS-mutated cells under ruxolitinib or JAK2 knock-down, consistent with an on-target effect. MAPK pathway activation is associated with JAK2 downregulation resulting in enhanced oncogenic potential of RAS mutations. Our results prompt screening for pre-existing RAS mutations in JAK inhibitor treated patients with MPN.
