Linezolid Acts as a Selective Inhibitor of the JAK2V617F Mutation
The JAK2V617F (JAK2VF) driver mutation is found in 95% of patients with polycythemia vera (PV), a progressive myeloproliferative neoplasm. Current treatments suppress excessive hematopoiesis but lack specificity for targeting JAK2VF cells, are unable to deplete mutant stem/progenitor cells and ultimately result in drug resistance. We discovered that the FDA-approved antibiotic, linezolid (LZD), ameliorates the PV phenotype across multiple model systems.
