Patients with chronic, indolent myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are at risk for transformation to highly lethal leukemia, although targetable mechanisms driving progression remain elusive. We discovered that the High Mobility Group A1 (HMGA1) gene is up-regulated MPN in patients and required evolution into myelofibrosis (MF) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) preclinical models. HMGA1 encodes epigenetic regulators modulate chromatin state during embryogenesis tissue regeneration. While silenced most differentiated cells, it becomes aberrantly re-expressed JAK2 mutant (JAK2-V617F) MPN, highest levels after secondary MF AML. Here, we review recent work highlighting function progression. Though underlying continue emerge, increasing evidence suggests functions as a "chromatin key" "unlock" regions of genome involved clonal expansion MPN. Together, these findings illuminate driver promising therapeutic target.
