Calreticulin Mutation

Calreticulin (CALR) ist ein Protein, das Teil eines Proteinkomplexes im Lumen des Endoplasmatischen Retikulums (ER) der Eukaryoten ist. Calreticulin fungiert zusammen mit Calnexin während der Faltung von Glykoproteinen im endoplasmatischen Retikulum als Chaperon. Dazu bindet es an Glykoproteine mit einem endständigen Glucoserest, der das Protein als noch nicht korrekt gefaltet kennzeichnet, und schützt es so vor Einflüssen aus der Umgebung, damit es sich richtig falten kann. Neben der Qualitätskontrolle der korrekten Glycoprotein-Faltung und der Sicherstellung der Calcium-Homöostase im ER hat CALR zahlreiche Funktionen außerhalb des ER, so im Zytoplasma, an der Zelloberfläche und auch in der extrazellulären Matrix, und beeinflusst dabei Zellproliferation, Apoptose, Phagozytose und die Immunreaktion. CALR kann auch den JAK-STAT-Signalweg in hämatopoetischen Zellen aktivieren.

presence of recurrent mutations inCALRin 70% to 80%of ET and PMF patients without aJAK2orMPLmutation.These mutations consist of insertions and/or deletions in exon 9,resulting in the generation of a novel mutant-specific positivelycharged amino acid sequence in the C terminus.

Compared withJAK2-mutant ET patients,CALR-mutant ET patients tend to be younger with lowerhemoglobin, decreased leukocytosis, and higher plateletcounts, and there is a higher male preponderance.There is robust evidence indicatingimproved thrombosis-free survival inCALR-mutant ET, with atwofold decreased risk for venous and arterial thrombosiscompared withJAK2 V617Fpatients

The riskof transformation to post-ET myelofibrosis (MF) seems to besimilar betweenCALR-mutant andJAK2-mutant patients

0TheJAK2 V617Fmutation confers higherthrombotic risk in the International Prognostic Score for EssentialThrombocythemia system.61In certain youngCALR-mutant ETpatients, thrombotic risk may be sufficiently low such that thesepatients can be managed with observation alone, without theaddition of aspirin.

The interaction withmutant CALR allows thrombopoietin-independent dimerizationof MPL’s cytosolic tails, with cell surface localization leading tofull receptor activation.

The net re-sult of the mutant CALR-MPL pathogenic binding interaction isligand-independent MPL-JAK/STAT signaling activation result-ing in clonal expansion of long-term hematopoietic stem cellsand megakaryocytes

IPSET

The International Prognostic Score for Essential Thrombocythemia (IPSET)is based on age>60years,white blood cell(WBC)count >11 000, and history of thrombosis

Current treatment in ET is primarily indicated for the purposes of preventing thrombotic complications

  • very low-risk group
    is defined by the absence of all three independent risk factors for thrombosis, including history of thrombosis, JAK2/MPL mutations, and advanced age
  • low-risk group
    JAK2/MPL mutations in otherwise younger patients without history of thrombosis;
  • intermediate risk
    JAK2/MPL unmutated older patients without thrombosis history;
  • high risk
    either presence of thrombosis history or presence of JAK2/MPL mutation in an older patient

  • very low risk
    aspirin therapy in “very low-risk” ET should not be automatic, especially considering the fact that a substantial proportion of such patients display acquired von Willebrand syndrome.value of aspirin therapy in reducing the risk of arterial thrombosis in low-risk ET associated with CV risk factors, but not otherwise

  • low risk
    residual risk of thrombosis despite management according to traditional treatment guidelines. Therefore, it is reasonable to consider further optimization of aspirin therapy in such patients by following “twice-daily” rather than “once-daily” schedule, especially in the presence of CV risk factors. inadequacy of once-daily aspirin dosing for 24-h optimal suppression of thromboxane-A2 synthesis, in the presence of high platelet turnover, and demonstration of superior biological efficacy in ET with twicedaily dosing

  • intermediate risk
    Recent studies have suggested that “advanced age,” by itself, was a weak risk factor for thrombosis. therapeutically relevant since it provides the option of avoiding cytoreductive therapy in JAK2/MPL unmutated older patients without history of thrombosis or CV risk factors.the annual risk of thrombosis in such patients was 1.44%, compared to 4.17% in the presence of both JAK2 mutations and CV risk factors (p=0.01), and was similar to that of “low-risk” patients (1.59–2.57%). Aspirin

  • high risk
    Accordingly, hydroxyurea, combined with once-daily aspirin therapy34, remains the standard of care for contemporarily classified “high-risk” patients. we underscore the need to maximize anti-thrombotic activity, by shortening the aspirin dosing schedule to every 12h, for patients with history of arterial thrombosis, and securing long-term systemic anticoagulation, in patients with history of venous thrombosis. In addition, it is reasonable to continue with once-daily aspirin therapy, along with systemic anticoagulation, in patients who are at risk for arterial thrombosis. Pegylated IFN-α treatment in ET has been shown to be relatively safe and effective, and has been associated with both clinical (70–80%) and molecular (10–20%) remissions in some patients, especially in the presence of CALR mutations.
    Anagrelidelatter study, patients receiving anagrelide experienced higher incidences of arterial thrombosis, bleeding complications, and fibrotic progression. more than a quarter of patients receiving anagrelide therapy become anemic while a lesser percentage experience renal insufficiency and cardiac complications including arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy. currently consider anagrelide therapy only after failure of all other drug options, including hydroxyurea, IFN-α, and busulfan

ThromboAss - A randomized, double-blind trial of three aspirin regimens to optimize antiplatelet therapy in essential thrombocythemia

low-dose aspirin is the recommended antithrombotic regimen, but accelerated platelet generation may reduce the duration of platelet cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 inhibition.

Serum thromboxane B2 (sTXB2), a validated biomarker of platelet COX-1 activity

Evaluable patients assigned to the bid and tid regimens showed substantially reduced inter individual variability and lower median values of sTXB2: 19.3[9.7-40], 4 [2.1-6.7], and 2.5[1.45.65] ng/ml in the od (n=85), bid (n=79) and tid (n=79) arms, respectively.

The antiplatelet response to low-dose aspirin can be markedly improved by shortening the dosing interval to 12 hours

Aspirin permanently acetylates platelet and megakaryocyte cyclooxygenase (COX)-1, Under physiological megakaryopoiesis, the irreversible nature of COX-1 inactivation in the bone marrow progenitors leads to a new platelet progeny with largely non-functioning enzyme throughout the 24-hour dosin

Under physiological shear stress conditions, the COX-2 isozyme of vascular endothelial cells largely drives PGI2 biosynthesis, which has clinically relevant vasorelaxant and platelet-inhibiting effects, as suggested by the cardiovascular toxicity of COX-2 inhibitors.19 Low-dose aspirin has been shown to have limited inhibitory effects on in vivo PGI2 biosynthesis, possibly because of differential rates of recovery of endothelial COX-2 vs. platelet COX-1 during the 24-hour dosing

OAS

therapy in ET has not been shown to affect survival

On the other hand, neither abnormal karyotype (detected in ~7% of patients) nor driver mutational status in ET has been shown to affect overall or leukemia-free survival; however, JAK2/MPL-mutated patients are significantly more thrombosis prone while MPL-mutated cases might be at a higher risk for fibrotic progression
