Use of a Janus Kinase Inhibitor and a Telomerase Inhibitor for the Treatment of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure include methods for treating a myeloproliferative neoplasm. Methods according to certain embodiments include co-administering to a subject a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor and a telomerase inhibitor comprising an oligonucleotide and a lipid moiety linked to the 5′ and/or 3′ end of the oligonucleotide. Methods for inducing apoptosis of a myeloproliferative neoplasm cell by contacting the cell with an amount of a JAK inhibitor and a telomerase inhibitor sufficient to induce apoptosis are also described. Compositions having a JAK inhibitor and a telomerase inhibitor for practicing the subject methods are also provided.
