Myeloproliferative neoplasms are driven by activated JAK2 signaling due to somatic mutations in JAK2, the thrombopoietin receptor MPL or the chaperone calreticulin in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. JAK2 inhibitors have been developed, but despite clinical benefits, they do not signficantly reduce the mutant clone. Loss of response to JAK2 inhibitors occurs and several mechanisms of resistance, genetic and functional, have been identified. Resistance mutations have not been reported in MPN patients suggesting incomplete target inhibition. Alternative targeting of JAK2 by HSP90 inhibitors or type II JAK2 inhibition overcomes resistance to current JAK2 inhibitors. Additional combined therapy approaches are currently being evaluated.
