Background. New medications, thrombopoietin mimetics which were recently introduced into clinical practice allowed to achieve clinical response in patients with chronic glucocorticoid-resistant idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). However, the high

The biology of thrombopoietin and thrombopoietin receptor agonists [PDF]
Thrombopoietin (TPO) is the major physiological regulator of platelet production. TPO binds the TPO receptor, activates JAK and STAT pathways, thus stimulating megakaryocyte growth and platelet production. There is no "sensor" of the platelet count; rather TPO is produced in the liver at a constant rate and cleared by TPO receptors on platelets.

Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in the treatment of neoplastic and inflammatory disorders
The Janus kinase (JAK) family of nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinases consists of JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2 (Tyrosine Kinase 2). Each of these proteins contains a JAK homology pseudokinase (JH2) domain that interacts with and regulates the activity of ...

Effect of Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonist on Pregnant Mice [PDF]
Thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) are an effective treatment for refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). However, the use of TPO-RAs is limited for ITP in pregnant women due to concerns about fetal toxicity. In this study, we examined the effects of romiplostim, one of the TPO-RAs, on pregnant mice. The mice were injected subcutaneously with

SOME THROMBOCYTE FACTORS DEVELOPMENT OF THROMBOCYTOPENIA IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS C
Purpose: to examine the frequency of mutations W 515K and W 515L in the Mpl, the encoder receptors platelets to thrombopoietin and determine the degree of activity of enzymes of blood platelets - glycogen, alpha-naphthylhesterase(αANАE) and adenosine ...

Thrombopoietin receptor agonists in hereditary thrombocytopenias [PDF]
Hereditary thrombocytopenias (HTPs) constitute a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by a reduction in platelet count and a potential bleeding risk. As a result of advances in diagnostic methods, HTPs are increasingly being identified, and appear to be less rare than previously thought.

Background Thrombocytopenia with absent radii syndrome is defined by bilateral radius aplasia and thrombocytopenia. Due to impaired thrombopoietin signaling there are only few bone marrow megakaryocytes and these are immature; the resulting platelet ...

MPLW515L is a novel somatic activating mutation in myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia. [PDF]
The JAK2V617F allele has recently been identified in patients with polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocytosis (ET), and myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MF).

Clinical Indications for Thrombopoietin and Thrombopoietin-Receptor Agonists [PDF]
Thrombocytopenia is a common hematologic disorder. Stimulation of thrombopoiesis may reduce the risk for thrombocytopenia-induced bleeding, prevent severe thrombocytopenia, and reduce the need for platelet transfusion. The key cytokine is thrombopoietin (TPO).

Role of Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonists in Inherited Thrombocytopenia [PDF]
In the last decade, improvements in genetic testing have revolutionized the molecular diagnosis of inherited thrombocytopenias (ITs), increasing the spectrum of knowledge of these rare, complex and heterogeneous disorders. In contrast, the therapeutic management of ITs has not evolved in the same way.
