Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins are a family of Src homology 2-containing adaptor proteins. Cytokine-inducible Src homology domain 2-containing protein, SOCS1, SOCS2, and SOCS3 have been implicated in the down-regulation of cytokine signaling. The function of SOCS4, 5, 6, and 7 are not known. KIT receptor signaling is regulated by protein tyrosine phosphatases and adaptor proteins. We previously reported that SOCS1 inhibited cell proliferation in response to stem cell factor (SCF). By screening the other members of SOCS family, we identified SOCS6 as a KIT-binding protein. Using KIT mutants and peptides, we demonstrated that SOCS6 bound directly to KIT tyrosine 567 in the juxtamembrane domain. To investigate the function of this interaction, we constitutively expressed SOCS6 in cell lines. Ectopic expression of SOCS6 in Ba/F3-KIT cell line decreased cell proliferation in response to SCF but not SCF-induced chemotaxis. SOCS6 reduced SCF-induced activation of ERK1/2 and p38 but not activation of AKT or STATs in Ba/F3, murine embryonic fibroblast (MEF), or COS-7 cells. SOCS6 did not impair ERK and p38 activation by other stimuli. These results indicate that SOCS6 binds to KIT juxtamembrane region, which affects upstream signaling components leading to MAPK activation. Our results indicate that KIT signaling is regulated by several SOCS proteins and suggest a putative function for SOCS6 as a negative regulator of receptor tyrosine kinases. 相似文献

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor (M-CSF-R) is a tyrosine kinase that regulates proliferation, differentiation, and cell survival during monocytic lineage development. Upon activation, M-CSF-R dimerizes and autophosphorylates on specific tyrosines, creating binding sites for several cytoplasmic SH2-containing signaling molecules that relay and modulate the M-CSF signal. Here we show that M-CSF-R interacts with suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (Socs1), a negative regulator of various cytokine and growth factor signaling pathways. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, in vitro glutathione S-transferase-M-CSF-R pull-down, and in vivo coimmunoprecipitation experiments, we demonstrated a direct interaction between the SH2 domain of Socs1 and phosphorylated tyrosines 697 or 721 of the M-CSF-R kinase insert region. Moreover, Socs1 is tyrosine-phosphorylated in response to M-CSF. Ectopic expression of Socs1 in FDC-P1/MAC and EML hematopoietic cell lines decreased their growth rates in the presence of limiting concentrations of M-CSF. However, Socs1 expression did not totally suppress long term cell growth in the presence of saturating M-CSF concentrations, in contrast to other cytokines such as stem cell factor and interleukin 3. Taken together, these results suggest that Socs1 is an M-CSF-R-binding partner involved in negative regulation of proliferation signaling and that it differentially affects cytokine receptor signals. 相似文献

In rodents, the mediobasal hypothalamus and the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) are implicated in leptin signaling. Surprisingly little data is available on the human hypothalamus. We set out to study the expression of suppressor-of-cytokine-signaling 3 (SOCS3), α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (αMSH) and agouti-related protein (AgRP) in the infundibular nucleus (IFN) and to investigate the relationship between these neuropeptide expressions and serum leptin concentrations in a blood sample taken within 24h before death. We studied post-mortem human brain material by means of quantitative immunocytochemistry. We found that SOCS3 immunoreactivity was widely distributed throughout the hypothalamus, and most prominent in the PVN, whereas expression levels in the IFN were low. Surprisingly, SOCS3 expression in the PVN was inversely related to serum leptin. A significant positive correlation was observed between AgRP and NPY expression in the IFN. The inverse correlation between SOCS3 expression in the PVN and serum leptin was unexpected and may be related to the hypothalamic adaptation to fatal illness rather than to nutritional status, or may represent an interspecies difference. 相似文献

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 is a physiological regulator of adipocyte insulin signaling 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Many proinflammatory cytokines and hormones have been demonstrated to be involved in insulin resistance. However, the molecular mechanisms whereby these cytokines and hormones inhibit insulin signaling are not completely understood. We observed that several cytokines and hormones that induce insulin resistance also stimulate SOCS3 expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and that SOCS3 mRNA is increased in adipose tissue of obese/diabetic mice. We then hypothesized that SOCS3 may mediate cytokine- and hormone-induced insulin resistance. By using SOCS3-deficient adipocytes differentiated from mouse embryonic fibroblasts, we found that SOCS3 deficiency increases insulin-stimulated IRS1 and IRS2 phosphorylation, IRS-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity, and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Moreover, lack of SOCS3 substantially limits the inhibitory effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha to suppress IRS1 and IRS2 tyrosine phosphorylation, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity, and glucose uptake in adipocytes. The ameliorated insulin signaling in SOCS3-deficient adipocytes is mainly due to the suppression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced IRS1 and IRS2 protein degradation. Therefore, our data suggest that endogenous SOCS3 expression is a key determinant of basal insulin signaling and is an important molecular mediator of cytokine-induced insulin resistance in adipocytes. We conclude that SOCS3 plays an important role in mediating insulin resistance and may be an excellent target for therapeutic intervention in insulin resistance and type II diabetes. 相似文献

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) is a negative regulator of c-Kit and interleukin-3 (IL-3) receptor signaling. We examined the role of SOCS1 in regulating IL-3-induced cell growth of primary bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) from SOCS1-/- mice. Instead of showing increased proliferation, SOCS1-deficient BMMCs responded poorly to IL-3 and stem cell factor. SOCS1-/- BMMCs showed increased apoptosis and defective cell cycle entry. We show that the growth retardation of SOCS1-/- BMMCs was due to a cell intrinsic defect. Protein tyrosine phosphorylation following IL-3 stimulation was markedly diminished in SOCS1-/- BMMCs. Intriguingly, JAK2 and STAT5 proteins were selectively diminished in SOCS1-/- BMMCs, which also showed lower molecular mass products of p85 and Vav suggesting proteolytic degradation. Incubation of the SOCS1-/- BMMC lysate with STAT5, p85, and Vav immunoprecipitated from SOCS1+/+ cells directly demonstrated the dysregulated proteolytic activity in SOCS1-/- BMMCs. The proteolytic activity in SOCS1-/- BMMCs was selectively inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and soybean trypsin inhibitor, suggesting that the protease regulated by SOCS1 is a tryptase. The dysregulated tryptase in SOCS1-/- BMMCs is unlikely to be mMCP6 or mMCP7, because the enzyme activity was not inhibited by Polybrene but was inhibited by normal mouse plasma. SOCS1+/+ BMMC lysate inhibited the proteolytic activity present in SOCS1-/- BMMC lysate, indicating that SOCS1-/- BMMCs lack an endogenous protease inhibitor. These results show that SOCS1 is required for the expression and/or stability of an endogenous protease inhibitor, which protects mast cells from their own proteolytic enzymes. 相似文献

Suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) is an essential regulator of cytokine signaling. SOCS-1-/- mice die before weaning with a complex disease characterized by fatty degeneration and necrosis of the liver. This disease is mediated by interferon (IFN) gamma as neonatal mortality fails to occur in SOCS-1-/-IFNgamma-/- mice. However, the immune system of healthy SOCS-1-/-IFNgamma-/- mice is dysregulated with a reduced ratio of CD4:CD8 T cells and increases in some aspects of T cell activation. SOCS-1-/-IFNgamma-/- mice also die before their wild type and IFNgamma-/- counterparts with a range of inflammatory conditions including pneumonia, gut infiltration, and skin ulceration, suggesting that SOCS-1 controls not only IFNgamma signaling, but also other immunoregulatory factors. This study shows that T cells from SOCS-1-deficient mice display hypersensitivity to cytokines that act through the gammac receptor. SOCS-1 expression is induced by interleukin (IL) 2, IL-4, IL-7, and IL-15, and SOCS-1-deficient T cells show increased proliferation and prolonged survival in response to IL-2 and IL-4. Furthermore, IL-2 induced increased STAT5 phosphorylation and CD44 expression in SOCS-1-deficient T cells compared with controls. Hypersensitivity to gammac-dependent cytokines may contribute to abnormal T cell function, as well as the pathology observed in mice lacking SOCS-1. 相似文献

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 regulates embryonic myelopoiesis independently of its effects on T cell development 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) has been shown to play important roles in the immune system. It acts as a key negative regulator of signaling via receptors for IFNs and other cytokines controlling T cell development, as well as Toll receptor signaling in macrophages and other immune cells. To gain further insight into SOCS1, we have identified and characterized the zebrafish socs1 gene, which exhibited sequence and functional conservation with its mammalian counterparts. Initially maternally derived, the socs1 gene showed early zygotic expression in mesodermal structures, including the posterior intermediate cell mass, a site of primitive hematopoiesis. At later time points, expression was seen in a broad anterior domain, liver, notochord, and intersegmental vesicles. Morpholino-mediated knockdown of socs1 resulted in perturbation of specific hematopoietic populations prior to the commencement of lymphopoiesis, ruling out T cell involvement. However, socs1 knockdown also lead to a reduction in the size of the developing thymus later in embryogenesis. Zebrafish SOCS1 was shown to be able to interact with both zebrafish Jak2a and Stat5.1 in vitro and in vivo. These studies demonstrate a conserved role for SOCS1 in T cell development and suggest a novel T cell-independent function in embryonic myelopoiesis mediated, at least in part, via its effects on receptors using the Jak2-Stat5 pathway. 相似文献

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 regulates IL-15 receptor signaling in CD8+CD44high memory T lymphocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

T lymphocyte survival, proliferation, and death in the periphery are dependent on several cytokines. Many of these cytokines induce the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1), a feedback inhibitor of JAK kinases. However, it is unclear whether the cytokines that regulate T lymphocyte homeostasis are critically regulated by SOCS1 in vivo. Using SOCS1(-/-)IFN-gamma(-/-) mice we show that SOCS1 deficiency causes a lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by decreased CD4/CD8 ratio due to chronic accumulation of CD8+CD44(high) memory phenotype T cells. SOCS1-deficient CD8+ T cells express elevated levels of IL-2Rbeta, show increased proliferative response to IL-15 and IL-2 in vitro, and undergo increased bystander proliferation and vigorous homeostatic expansion in vivo. Sorted CD8+CD44(high) T cells from SOCS1(-/-)IFN-gamma(-/-) mice respond 5 times more strongly than control cells, indicating that SOCS1 is a critical regulator of IL-15R signaling. Consistent with this idea, IL-15 stimulates sustained STAT5 phosphorylation in SOCS1-deficient CD8+ T cells. IL-15 strongly induces TNF-alpha production in SOCS1-deficient CD8+ T cells, indicating that SOCS1 is also a critical regulator of CD8+ T cell activation by IL-15. However, IL-15 and IL-2 induce comparable levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) in SOCS1-deficient and SOCS1-sufficient CD8+ T cells, suggesting that cytokine receptor signals required for inducing proliferation and cell survival signals are not identical. These results show that SOCS1 differentially regulates common gamma-chain cytokine signaling in CD8+ T cells and suggest that CD8+ T cell homeostasis is maintained by distinct mechanisms that control cytokine-mediated survival and proliferation signals. 相似文献

The biological behaviors of thyroid cancer are varied, and the pathological mechanisms remain unclear. Some reports indicated an apparent aggregation of amyloid accompanying medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Amyloid aggregation in neurodegeneration leads to hyperactivation of Cdk5 and subsequent neuronal death. Based on the connection with amyloid, the role of Cdk5 in MTC is worthy of investigation. Initially, the expression of Cdk5 and its activator, p35, in MTC cell lines was identified. Cdk5 inhibition by specific inhibitors or short interfering RNA decreased the proliferation of MTC cell lines, which reveals the importance of Cdk5 in MTC cell growth. Although p35 cleavage has been considered as an important element in neurodegeneration, it seems that p35 cleavage was not a major cause in Cdk5 activity-dependent MTC cell proliferation because neither Cdk5 activity nor cell growth was affected by the inhibition of p35 cleavage. Clearance of amyloid by antibody neutralization indicated that MTC cell proliferation was supported by calcitonin-derived extracellular amyloid and subsequent Her2 and Cdk5 activation. Significantly, the STAT3 pathway was involved in Cdk5-dependent proliferation of MTC cells through Ser-727 phosphorylation. In addition, Cdk5 inhibition reduced nuclear distributions of both the Cdk5-p35 complex and phospho-STAT3 in MTC cells. Finally, Cdk5 inhibition retarded tumor formation in vivo accompanying the reduction of phospho-STAT3. Our findings suggest the first demonstration of a novel and specific role for Cdk5 kinase in supporting the proliferation of the medullary thyroid carcinoma cells and could shed light on a new field for diagnosis and therapy of thyroid cancer. 相似文献

We have previously established a correlation between reduced mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase-1 (GPAT-1) activity and decreased proliferation in splenic T-lymphocytes from aged rats. To better understand the immunoregulatory role of GPAT-1, we examined T-lymphocyte function in young GPAT-1 knockout (KO) mice. We show that without GPAT-1, T-lymphocyte proliferation is inhibited and activation induced apoptosis is increased. Th-1 (IL-2 and IFN-gamma) cytokine secretion is reduced, and Th-2 (IL-4 and IL-10) cytokine secretion is increased. These changes may be due to alterations in membrane lipid composition since we found changes in the relative content of individual phospholipid species. Furthermore, we show increased arachidonate content and subsequent increased prostaglandin E(2) secretion, which may inhibit T-lymphocyte proliferation. Taken together, we show a novel link between GPAT-1 and changes in T-lymphocyte function. These data have broad health implications because GPAT-1 suppression has recently been implicated as a new target for preventing insulin sensitivity and hepatic steatosis and we show that immune function may also be affected. Interestingly, the changes in young GPAT-1 KO splenic T-lymphocytes are similar to defects commonly seen in T-lymphocytes from aged rodents, which further underscores the significance of GPAT-1 in T-lymphocyte function. 相似文献

The newly discovered Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV) resides in approximately 80% of Merkel cell carcinomas (MCC). Causal role of MCPyV for this rare and aggressive skin cancer is suggested by monoclonal integration and truncation of large T (LT) viral antigen in MCC cells. The mutated MCPyV has recently been found in highly purified leukemic cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), suggesting a pathogenic role also in CLL. About 50-80% of adults display MCPyV-specific antibodies. The humoral immunity does not protect against the development of MCC, as neutralizing MCPyV antibodies occur in higher levels among MCC patients than healthy controls. Impaired T-cell immunity has been linked with aggressive MCC behavior. Therefore, cellular immunity appears to be important in MCPyV infection surveillance. In order to elucidate the role of MCPyV-specific Th-cell immunity, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of healthy adults were stimulated with MCPyV VP1 virus-like particles (VLPs), using human bocavirus (HBoV) VLPs and Candida albicans antigen as positive controls. Proliferation, IFN-γ, IL-13 and IL-10 responses were examined in 15 MCPyV-seropositive and 15 seronegative volunteers. With the MCPyV antigen, significantly stronger Th-cell responses were found in MCPyV-seropositive than MCPyV-seronegative subjects, whereas with the control antigens, the responses were statistically similar. The most readily detectable cytokine was IFN-γ. The MCPyV antigen tended to induce stronger IFN-γ responses than HBoV VLP antigen. Taken together, MCPyV-specific Th-cells elicit vigorous IFN-γ responses. IFN-γ being a cytokine with major antiviral and tumor suppressing functions, Th-cells are suggested to be important mediators of MCPyV-specific immune surveillance. 相似文献

Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 inhibits cytokine induction of CD40 expression in macrophages 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

CD40 is a type I membrane-bound molecule belonging to the TNFR superfamily that is expressed on various immune cells including macrophages and microglia. The aberrant expression of CD40 is involved in the initiation and maintenance of various human diseases including multiple sclerosis, arthritis, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. Inhibition of CD40 signaling has been shown to provide a significant beneficial effect in a number of animal models of human diseases including the aforementioned examples. We have previously shown that IFN-gamma induces CD40 expression in macrophages and microglia. IFN-gamma leads to STAT-1alpha activation directly and up-regulation of NF-kappaB activity due to the secretion and subsequent autocrine signaling of TNF-alpha. However, TNF-alpha alone is not capable of inducing CD40 expression in these cells. Suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 protein (SOCS-1) is a cytokine-inducible Src homology 2-containing protein that regulates cytokine receptor signaling by inhibiting STAT-1alpha activation via a specific interaction with activated Janus kinase 2. Given the important role of CD40 in inflammatory events in the CNS as well as other organ systems, it is imperative to understand the molecular mechanisms contributing to both CD40 induction and repression. We show that ectopic expression of SOCS-1 abrogates IFN-gamma-induced CD40 protein expression, mRNA levels, and promoter activity. Additionally, IFN-gamma-induced TNF-alpha secretion, as well as STAT-1alpha and NF-kappaB activation, are inhibited in the presence of SOCS-1. We conclude that SOCS-1 inhibits cytokine-induced CD40 expression by blocking IFN-gamma-mediated STAT-1alpha activation, which also then results in suppression of IFN-gamma-induced TNF-alpha secretion and subsequent NF-kappaB activation. 相似文献
