Dear Editor,MPL is a cytokine receptor that regulates the production of myeloid cells,in particular megakaryocytes and platelets(Kaushansky,2005).Dimerization of MPL is important not only for the initiation of signalling(Kaushansky,2005)but also for the resistance to a recent therapy for myeloproliferative neoplasms(Koppikar et al.,2012).in the current model,cytokine receptors exist as a mixture of monomers and dimers without ligand stimulation,while ligand binding induces additional receptor dimerization(Kaushansky,2005).

The advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitor(TKi)therapy markedly improved the outcome of patients with chronic-phase chronic myeloid leukemia(CML).However,the poor prognosis of patients with advanced-phase CML and the lifelong dependency on TKis are remaining challenges;therefore,an effective therapeutic has been *** BCR–ABL p210 fusion protein’s junction region represents a leukemia-specific neoantigen and is thus an attractive target for antigen-specific T-cell ***–ABL p210 fusion-region-specific CD4+T-helper(Th)cells possess antileukemic potential,but their function remains *** this study,we established a BCR–ABL p210 b3a2 fusion-region-specific CD4+Th-cell clone(b3a2-specific Th clone)and examined its dendritic cell(DC)-mediated antileukemic *** b3a2-specific Th clone recognized the b3a2 peptide in the context of HLA-DRB1*09:01 and exhibited a Th1 *** of this clone through T-cell antigen receptor stimulation triggered DC maturation,as indicated by upregulated production of CD86 and iL-12p70 by DCs,which depended on CD40 ligation by CD40L expressed on b3a2-specific Th ***,in the presence of HLA-A*24:02-restricted Wilms tumor 1(WT1)235–243 peptide,DCs conditioned by b3a2-specific Th cells efficiently stimulated the primary expansion of WTi-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTLs).The expanded CTLs were cytotoxic toward WT1235–243-peptide-loaded HLA-A*24:02-positive cell lines and exerted a potent antileukemic effect in ***,the b3a2-specific Th-clone-mediated antileukemic CTL responses were strongly inhibited by both TKis and interferon-α.Our findings indicate a crucial role of b3a2-specific Th cells in leukemia antigen-specific CTL-mediated immunity and provide an experimental basis for establishing novel CML immunotherapies.
