BCR-ABL Affects STAT5A and STAT5B Differentially
Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are latent cytoplasmic transcription factors linking extracellular signals to target gene transcription. Hematopoietic cells express two highly conserved STAT5-isoforms (STAT5A/STAT5B), and STAT5 is directly activated by JAK2 downstream of several cytokine receptors and the oncogenic BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase. Using an IL-3-dependent cell...
متن کاملConstitutively active Stat5A and Stat5B promote adipogenesis.
OBJECTIVE The metabolic syndrome is an important social problem affecting many people in developed countries. Obesity is a leading cause of this syndrome, hence understanding molecular mechanisms underlying obesity is of prime importance for preventive medicine to develop novel methods to alleviate the corresponding social cost as well as for pharmaceutical companies to develop antimetabolic dr...
متن کاملMolecular pathways: BCR-ABL.
Aberrant tyrosine kinase activity plays a critical role in many hematologic disorders, including chronic myeloid leukemia characterized by the constitutive activity of BCR-ABL. ABL therefore represents a crucial target for new therapeutic strategies. Here, we summarize the molecular pathways that are abnormally activated by the oncoprotein. Such pathways may provide additional opportunities to ...
متن کاملBCR-ABL and Human Cancer
The BCR-ABL oncogene was the first chromosomal abnormality shown to be associated with a specific human malignancy, the chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), resulting from a reciprocal t(9;22) translocation characterized by the formation of a shortened chromosome, named Philadelphia chromosome (Ph), in which the tyrosine kinase of c-ABL is constitutively activated. This chromosomal translocation...
متن کاملDistinctive roles of STAT5a and STAT5b in sexual dimorphism of hepatic P450 gene expression. Impact of STAT5a gene disruption.
Stat5b gene disruption leads to an apparent growth hormone (GH) pulse insensitivity associated with loss of male-characteristic body growth rates and male-specific liver gene expression (Udy, G. B., Towers, R. P., Snell, R. G., Wilkins, R. J., Park, S. H., Ram, P. A., Waxman, D. J., and Davey, H. W. (1997) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 94, 7239-7244). In the present study, disruption of the m...
