Title in Portuguese

Abstract in Portuguese
As Neoplasias Mieloproliferativas (NMPs) se caracterizam por apresentarem acúmulo de eritrócitos, leucócitos e plaquetas morfologicamente normais e seus precursores. Nos últimos anos vários estudos buscaram conhecer os mecanismos celulares e moleculares envolvidos na fisiopatologia e evolução dessas desordens, com o intuito de encontrar marcadores de diagnóstico, prognóstico e terapias eficazes. A mutação pontual no gene que codifica a enzima Janus Kinase 2 (JAK2 V617F), presente em aproximadamente 90% dos pacientes com PV e em 50% dos pacientes com TE e MF, foi o principal achado genético anormal associado a essas doenças. Essa mutação resulta na ativação constitutiva da enzima JAK2 e na desregulação da proliferação celular e resistência à apoptose. Nosso grupo de pesquisa descreveu em PV, TE e MF a expressão alterada de genes reguladores da apoptose e dados da literatura indicam que a desregulação do ciclo celular contribui para a fisiopatologia das NMPs. Nesse projeto o intuito foi investigar a associação da via de sinalização m-TOR com as alterações do ciclo celular e via JAK/STAT nas NMPs. A via de sinalização m-TOR participa dos processos celulares de sobrevivência e proliferação. A estratégia experimental foi avaliar a expressão de genes e proteínas, reguladores da via m-TOR, em leucócitos de pacientes com NPMC e linhagens celulares JAK2+ tratadas com inibidores de JAK2 e AKT. Para determinar a relação da via m-TOR nas NMPs foi escolhido o gene eIF4E, alterado nessas doenças, para observar sua modulação diante da inibição farmacológica nas linhagens celulares JAK2 positivas. Os resultados desse estudo contribuem para a descrição de novos alvos terapêuticos dependentes e indepentendes da atividade quinase JAK2 e para o melhor conhecimento da participação da via de sinalização m-TOR na fisiopatologia das NMPs.

Abstract in English
The myeloproliferative neoplasms (MNPs) are characterized by accumulation of erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets morphologically normal and their precursors. In recent years several studies have sought to understand the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology and progression of these disorders in order to find diagnostic and prognostic markers and effective therapies. The point mutation in the gene encoding the enzyme Janus kinase 2 (JAK2 V617F), present in approximately 90% of PV patients and in 50% of patients with ET and MF was the main abnormal genetic finding associated with these diseases. This mutation results in constitutive activation of JAK2 enzyme and the deregulation of cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis. Our research group described in PV, ET and MF altered expression of apoptosis regulatory genes and literature data suggest that deregulation of the cell cycle contributes to the pathophysiology of MNPs. In this project the aim was to investigate the signaling pathway of the association m-TOR with the changes of the cell cycle and JAK / STAT in NMPs. The signaling pathway participates in the m-TOR cell survival and proliferation processes. The experimental strategy was to evaluate the expression of genes and proteins, regulators of m-TOR pathway in leukocytes from patients with and NPMC cell lines treated with the JAK2 JAK2 + and AKT inhibitors. To determine the relationship of m-TOR pathway with MNPs has been selected the eIF4E gene deregulated in these disorders to observe their modulation in pharmacologically inhibited cells lines JAK 2 positive. Results of this study contribute to the description of new therapeutic targets of dependent and independent JAK2 kinase activity and to a better understanding of the signaling pathway of participation m-TOR in the pathophysiology of NMPs.
