  2. Lipocalin-2 is associated with modulation of disease phenotype in a patient with concurrent JAK2-V617F and BCR-ABL mutation

    We investigated the role of lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) and its receptor (SLC22A17) in mediating clonal dominance in a patient with both BCR-ABL and JAK2-V617F mutations. LCN-2 mRNA showed a near 50-fold increase in expression, accompanied by down-regulation of SLC22A17, coinciding with increase in BCR-ABL transcripts, loss of JAK2-V617F and change of clinical phenotype from polycythaemia vera to chronic myeloid leukaemia. These changes were reversed after commencing imatinib mesylate. Consistent with experimental studies, BCR-ABL+ cells express LCN-2 leading to suppression of BCR-ABL- cells and explain their eventual dominance when occurring together with JAK2-V617F.
