20) MPN Flashcards
hypercellularity of the BM
dominance of one cell line in PB
MPN
3 most common cell lines involved in MPNs
- myeloid (CML)
- megakaryocytic (ET)
- erythroid (PV)
less common cell lines involved in MPNs
- fibroblasts
- eosinophils
- mast cells
- variable
MPN age group
40s-60s
in MPN, the BM eventually becomes ———
fibrotic
MPN can develop into…
acute leukemia
why might MPN result in splenomegaly?
EMH after BM fibrosis
only MPN with Philadelphia chromosome present
CML
3 stages of CML
- chronic: 2-10 years, responds well to therapy
- accelerated: 6-18 months
- blast crisis: 3-6 months, aggressive acute leukemia
median CML age of onset
70-90 years
loss of stamina
weakness
night sweats
weight loss
feeling of fullness
hepatosplenomegaly
CML
first signs of CML might be…
GI bleeding
retinal hemorrhage
plts don’t function well
clonal disorder of HSC; overproduction of defective granulocytes
CML
Philadelphia chromosome cell of origin
HSC
the Philadelphia chromosome is a juxtaposition of ——– proto-oncogene with a portion of ——- gene
ABL1
BCR

p210 fusion protein with abnormal tyrosine kinase activity
tyrosine kinase inhibitors
used to tx CML
platelets in CML
often > 1000 x 10^3
M:E 10-50:1
