We describe a critical role for Cdk6 in JAK2V617F+ MPN evolution. The absence of Cdk6 ameliorates clinical symptoms and prolongs survival of JAK2V617F fl/+ vav-Cre mice. The Cdk6 protein interferes with three hallmarks of disease: besides regulating malignant stem cell quiescence, it promotes NFkB signaling and contributes to cytokine production while inhibiting apoptosis. The treatment with palbociclib did not mirror these effects, showing that the functions of Cdk6 in MPN pathogenesis are largely kinase-independent.
