细胞源与鸡胚源传染性支气管炎病毒激活JAK-STAT信号通路的差异性研究

鸡传染性支气管炎病毒(Infectious Bronchitis Virus,IBV)对鸡的呼吸道、肾脏和输卵管等器官造成严重损伤,主要引起鸡产蛋率下降和雏鸡死亡.目前通过鸡胚传代获得IBV疫苗株和流行毒株.IBV Beaudette株是目前实验室研究的经典毒株,已经适应人源和猴源细胞,可利用Vero细胞进行制备.有研究表明,IBV感染延迟干扰素的表达,并对JAK-STAT信号通路具有拮抗作用.本研究中发现,通过Vero细胞制备的IBV Beaudette株,在感染早期激活STAT1,通过鸡胚制备的IBV Beaudette,则不能有效激活STAT1.进一步研究发现,鸡胚传代的IBV QX株和新城疫病毒(Newcastle Disease Virus,NDV)亦不能有效刺激JAK-STAT信号通路.两种制备病毒的方式分别得到不同的试验结果,推测是由于在病毒感染条件下,Vero细胞分泌到培养液中的细胞因子所致.进一步研究揭示,病毒感染条件下,细胞分泌的因子,瞬时激活了 STAT1.本研究对于病毒的制备方式对天然免疫信号通路的影响,具有一定的参考和借鉴作用.

Complex systems biology approach to understanding coordination of JAK-STAT signaling

In this work, we search for coordination as an organizing principle in a complex signaling system using a multilevel hierarchical paradigm. The objective is to explain the underlying mechanism of Interferon (IFN_γ) induced JAK-STAT (specifically JAK1/JAK2-STAT1) pathway behavior. Starting with a mathematical model of the pathway from the literature, we modularize the system using biological knowledge via principles of biochemical cohesion, biological significance, and functionality. The modularized system is then used as a basis for in silico inhibition, knockdown/deletion and perturbation experiments to discover a coordination mechanism. Our analysis shows that a module representing the SOCS1 complex can be identified as the coordinator. Analysis of the coordinator can then be used for the selection of biological experiments for the discovery of ‘soft’ molecular drug targets, that could lead to the development of improved therapeutics. The coordinator identified is also being investigated to determine its relationship to pathological conditions.     

The JAK-STAT signaling pathway: input and output integration

Universal and essential to cytokine receptor signaling, the JAK-STAT pathway is one of the best understood signal transduction cascades. Almost 40 cytokine receptors signal through combinations of four JAK and seven STAT family members, suggesting commonality across the JAK-STAT signaling system. Despite intense study, there remain substantial gaps in understanding how the cascades are activated and regulated. Using the examples of the IL-6 and IL-10 receptors, I will discuss how diverse outcomes in gene expression result from regulatory events that effect the JAK1-STAT3 pathway, common to both receptors. I also consider receptor preferences by different STATs and interpretive problems in the use of STAT-deficient cells and mice. Finally, I consider how the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins regulate the quality and quantity of STAT signals from cytokine receptors. New data suggests that SOCS proteins introduce additional diversity into the JAK-STAT pathway by adjusting the output of activated STATs that alters downstream gene activation.

Curcumin induces growth-arrest and apoptosis in association with the inhibition of constitutively active JAK-STAT pathway in T cell leukemia

Adult T cell leukemia is an aggressive and frequently fatal malignancy that expressess constitutively activated growth-signaling pathways in association with deregulated growth and resistance to apoptosis. Curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is a naturally occurring yellow pigment, isolated from the rhizomes of the plant Curcuma longa that has traditionally been used in the treatment of injury and inflammation. But the effect and mechanism of action of curcumin on T cell leukemia is not known. To investigate the antitumor activity of curcumin in T cell leukemia, we examined its effect on constitutive phosphorylation of JAK and STAT proteins, proliferation, and apoptosis in HTLV-I-transformed T cell lines. HTLV-I-transformed T cell leukemia lines, MT-2, HuT-102, and SLB-1, express constitutively phosphorylated JAK3, TYK2, STAT3, and STAT5 signaling proteins. In vitro treatment with curcumin induced a dose-dependent decrease in JAK and STAT phosphorylation resulting in the induction of growth-arrest and apoptosis in T cell leukemia. The induction of growth-arrest and apoptosis in association with the blockade of constitutively active JAK-STAT pathway suggests this be a mechanism by which curcumin induces antitumor activity in T cell leukemia.
