Hypothesis
● Can we modulate Jak2 activity to prevent or revert splenomegaly and EMH?
● Can we use Jak2 inhibitors to ameliorate the transfusion regimen?
● Can we use Jak2 inhibitors for other transfusion dependent-related disorders, such as sickle cell anemia?

● Jak2 plays a major role in controlling IE, splenomegaly and EMH in ß-thalassemia.
● Using Jak2 inhibitors might be possible to prevent or revert splenomegaly and EMH.
● Use of Jak2 inhibitors might ameliorate the transfusion regimen in conditions associated with profound ineffective erythropoiesis (i.e. ß-thalassemia major).
● Use of a tailored dose of Jak2 inhibitors might also be beneficial in transfusionalsickle cell anemia...to be continued
Conclusions
![Page 22: Children’s Cancer and Blood Foundation Laboratories Division of Hematology-Oncology Department of Pediatrics Weill Medical College of Cornell University.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110205/56649c9e5503460f9495e8fe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ineffective erythropoiesis:excessive cell proliferation coupled with
hemichrome formation
Might Jak2 inhibitors be even more effective in combination with therapies that modulate iron
metabolism?
Ineffective erythropoiesis: New therapies?
