Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are methods for inducing polyploidization of megakaryocyte cells and for promoting differentiation of megakaryocyte cells into platelet-producing cells. The methods may be utilized for treating blood and bone marrow diseases and disorders in a subject in need thereof and for identifying agents for treating blood and bone marrow diseases and disorders.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for treating a patient having a proliferative blood or bone marrow disease or disorder, the method comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound having a formula: wherein the proliferative blood or bone marrow disorder is selected from a group consisting of an Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia, a Myeloproliferative Disease, a Myelodysplastic Syndrome, and an Acute Myeloid Leukemia. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is effective for inducing polyploidization of megakaryocyte cells in the patient, and the megakaryocyte cells are megakaryocyte progenitors. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is effective for inducing polyploidization of megakaryocyte cells in the patient, and the megakaryocyte cells are immortalized or dysplastic cells. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is effective for inducing polyploidization of megakaryocyte cells in the patient, and the megakaryocyte cells further are promoted to differentiate into platelet-producing cells. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has an Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia selected from a group consisting of AMKL associated with mutagenesis of GATA1 in Down syndrome, pediatric AMKL associated with a (1:22) translocation, and adult AMKL associated with mutations in JAK2 or JAK3. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient has a Myeloproliferative Disease selected from a group consisting of primary myelofibrosis (PMF), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and polycythemia vera (PV). 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount is effective for increasing platelet counts in the patient. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound haS a formula: 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound has a formula: 10. A method for treating a patient having Acute Myeloid Leukemia, the method comprising administering to the patient an effective amount of a compound having a formula: 11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the compound has a formula: 12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the compound has a formula:
