Activating JAK1 mutation may predict the sensitivity of JAK-STAT inhibition in hepatocellular carcinoma
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC4868698
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional, Prognostic
Justification: Oncogenic: The S703I mutation is described as an activating mutation of the JAK1 gene, which drives cell proliferation and activates the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, indicating its role in tumorigenesis. Functional: The introduction of the S703I mutation into cell lines demonstrated its ability to activate the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and promote cell proliferation, showcasing its functional impact on cellular behavior. Prognostic: The sensitivity of the JAK1S703I mutant PDX model to ruxolitinib treatment suggests that this mutation may serve as a prognostic marker for response to targeted therapies in hepatocellular carcinoma.
