Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Purification and characterization of protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-MEG2.
- Stem cell factor increases the expression of FLIP that inhibits IFNgamma -induced apoptosis in human erythroid progenitor cells.
- Specific interaction of protein tyrosine phosphatase-MEG2 with phosphatidylserine.
- Reduction of cell cycle progression in human erythroid progenitor cells treated with tumour necrosis factor alpha occurs with reduced CDK6 and is partially reversed by CDK6 transduction.
- PTP-MEG2 is activated in polycythemia vera erythroid progenitor cells and is required for growth and expansion of erythroid cells.
- In human immature BFU-E tumor necrosis factor-alpha not only downregulates CDK6 but also directly produces apoptosis which is prevented by stem cell factor.
- Increased erythropoiesis in polycythemia vera is associated with increased erythroid progenitor proliferation and increased phosphorylation of Akt/PKB.
- Identification of an acquired JAK2 mutation in polycythemia vera.
- Role of tyrosine kinases and phosphatases in polycythemia vera.
