Escalated PD-L1 expression has been identified during malignant transformation in a number of cancer types and helps cancer cells escape an effective anti-tumor immune response. The mechanisms underlying escalated production of PD-L1 in many cancers, however, are still far from clear. We studied PD-L1, STAT3 and STAT5 mRNA expression using qRT-PCR in 72 BCR/ABL1 negative myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) patients (39 polycythemia vera and 33 essential thrombocythemia).

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is considered to be the main protein in diseases arising as a result of oxidative and inflammatory insults. Tremendous research has been carried out on HO-1 since years, pertaining its cytoprotective effect against oxidative injury and other cellular stresses. HO-1, by regulating intracellular levels of pro-oxidant heme, or by other benefits of its by-products such as carbon monoxide (CO) and biliverdin (BV) had become an important candidate protein to be up-regulated to combat diverse stressful events.
