JAK2
JAK2 is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase in the JAK1-JAK2-JAK3-TYK2 family and acts as a cytoplasmic signaling component of cytokine receptors[1]. Mechanistically, cytokine-mediated activation of JAK2 promotes receptor phosphorylation, recruits STAT proteins, and drives STAT phosphorylation-dependent transcriptional signaling[1][2]. This pathway supports cell growth, survival, development, differentiation, hematopoiesis, immune regulation, and homeostasis[2][3]. In disease models, gain-of-function JAK2 V617F in the pseudokinase domain causes constitutive activity and is strongly linked to myeloproliferative neoplasms and leukemias[1][4]. Compared with related isoforms, JAK3 is essential for common γ-chain cytokine receptor signaling in T- and B-cell development, whereas complete mouse deletion of JAK1 or JAK2 is not compatible with life[5][6]. For experimental applications, ruxolitinib is a selective oral JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor, and JAK2-focused compounds support studies of mutant signaling, cytokine responses, splenomegaly, angiogenesis, and inhibitor resistance[7][8][9].

ARV-825
0 ImagesARV-825 is a BET protein PROTAC degrader that recruits cereblon, and it targets BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 for degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. ARV-825 downregulates c-MYC, PLK1, MYCN, CDK4/6, JAK2, pSTAT3/5, PIM1, and Bcl-xL, upregulates p21 and p27, and modulates H3K27Ac-mediated transcription, the G2/M checkpoint, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and amino acid transport pathways. ARV-825 induces G1 phase cell cycle arrest, caspase 3/PARP-mediated apoptosis, DNA damage, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reduces mitochondrial respiration, and simultaneously inhibits cell proliferation, clonogenic growth, and cell migration. ARV-825 is used in research on gastric cancer, leukemia, neuroblastoma, and cholangiocarcinoma.
