Article Abstract
The janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) is one of the main pathways downstream of cytokine receptors and growth factor receptors by transducing signals from cell surface to the nucleus. In this study, we aimed to survey the role of JAK2/STAT pathway in the progress of TBI. Right parietal cortical contusion in rats was induced by the Feeney free falling model. The activation of JAK2, STAT1 and STAT3 in pericontusional cortex was determined by Western blotting, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Moreover, we assessed the neurological recovery (using Neurological Severity Scores (NSS)) of rats under the pretreatment of a JAK2 inhibitor, AG490. Western blotting revealed that expression of p-JAK2, p-STAT1 and p-STAT3 increased immediately, peaked at 3h after TBI and decreased thereafter, and the activation could be inhibited by AG490. Immunohistochemical study showed that JAK2/STAT pathway was activated in both neurons and astrocytes at 3h after TBI. STAT3-specific binding activity was obviously enhanced after TBI and down-regulated after AG490 administration. The higher NSS of TBI+AG490 group revealed a worse behavior recovery when compared with TBI+DMSO group. Our results suggest that the JAK2/STAT pathway is activated in pericontusional cortex of rats, and may be involved in the neurological function recovery after TBI.

To study the therapeutic effect and mechanisms of ethyl syringate(MD) on ulcerative colitis(UC), the MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation inhibition of RAW264.7 cells and HT-29 cells by different concentrations of MD(50, 100, 200, 400 μmol·L~(-1)). UC cell models were constructed by inducing RAW264.

The maintenance of the haematopoietic stem cells and the production of platelets thereof is acutely dependent upon the thrombopoietin receptor (TpoR). TpoR dimerizes in the presence of its ligand thrombopoietin leading to the activation of downstream JAK2-STAT signalling. Alternatively, the receptor dimerizes in the presence of activating mutations of JAK2 (JAK2 V617F), calreticulin or TpoR leading to myeloproliferation.

Objectives: The acquired, somatic JAK2 mutation is the most common molecular aberration in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) and also significantly involved in the regulation of T cell immunity. PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are key immune checkpoint regulators that are elevated in patients with solid tumors, infectious diseases and chronic inflammation. We aimed further investigating the significance of immune checkpoint expression in JAK2 positive MPN.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge), a revered traditional Chinese medicine derived from dried roots and rhizomes, has historically been employed to invigorate blood circulation, resolve stasis, and treat cardiovascular disorders. Emerging evidence highlights its ethnopharmacological relevance in cancer therapy, particularly for suppressing tumor progression. While melanoma remains a therapeutic challenge, Danshen's potential mechanisms against this malignancy warrant systematic exploration.

JAK2 is a promising target for treating myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). However, existing JAK2 inhibitors cannot fully cure these diseases and may induce resistance with prolonged use. Here, we report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a series of highly potent JAK2 degraders based on our previously developed inhibitor WWQ-131.
