JAK2 Cancer Research Results

JAK2, Janus kinase 2: Click to Expand ⟱
Source: CGL-Driver Genes
Type: Oncogene
A tyrosine kinase that plays a crucial role in the signaling pathways of various cytokines and growth factors. It is particularly important in hematopoiesis (the formation of blood cells) and immune responses.

JAK2 plays a significant role in cancer biology, particularly in hematological malignancies, where its expression and activity are often upregulated. Increased JAK2 activity is generally associated with worse prognosis in many cancers, indicating its potential role in promoting tumor growth and survival.


PC, Pancreatic Cancer: Click to Expand ⟱
Pancreatic Cancer: Hypoxia (low oxygen tension) is commonly found in solid tumors. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1),is a key mediator of the cellular response to hypoxia and is overexpressed in a wide variety of solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer.
Nanog is highly expressed in CSCs compared to normal cells [93–97]
