It was also reported that BCR-ABL interacts with the IL-3/GM-CSF receptor, which leads to the downstream activation of JAK2 [49], and that blockage of JAK2-mediated extrinsic survival signals using JAK2 inhibitors restores sensitivity of CML cells to TKIs [43]. Here, ABL1 is linked to chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
