Responses to TLK199

Hi All,
Now researchers report that underexpression of a special gene set - the JNK gene set - perhaps may identify patients likely to respond to Ezatiostat (TLK199).

C-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) is implicated in transformation to cancer.

The abstract is complicated – you will find the important info in this sentence: The expression data confirms that patients whose pre-therapy marrow shows under-expression of the JNK gene set are precisely those who benefit from this drug therapy and those patients who already over-express these genes are unlikely to respond.

This kind of research is very important and we hope they at last will find out the best treatment for all MDS patients.

Patients with the 5q- will often respond to Revlimid, patients with lower DNA methylation of the WT1 gene will perhaps have a better response to Vidaza and patients with underexpression of the JNK gene set will eventually respond to Ezatiostat.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
