The discovery of oncogene addiction in myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) driven by the gain-of-function mutant Jak2V617F has attracted intense interest in targeted therapy for MPDs. In this report, we demonstrate that triptolide potently downregulated the transcription of Jak2 by inhibiting the activity of RNA polymerase. Triptolide inhibited the in vitro and in vivo growth of tumor cells harboring Jak2V617F. Triptolide induced abundant apoptosis with a prominent decline of Bcl-2, Bcl-X(L), survivin and Mcl-1. As well, triptolide induced caspase-3-dependent Mcl-1 cleavage, which may potentiate apoptosis. These findings suggest that triptolide is a promising agent to kill Jak2V617F-harboring cells.
