Suppressors of cytokine signaling in tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB), a global disease mainly infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains leading public health problem worldwide. Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCSs) play important roles in the protection against microbial infection. However, the relationship between members of the SOCS family and tuberculosis infection remains unclear. Using peripheral blood mononuclear cells, we inves...
متن کاملSOCS: physiological suppressors of cytokine signaling.
Cytokines regulate cellular behavior by interacting with receptors on the plasma membrane of target cells and activating intracellular signal transduction cascades such as the JAK-STAT pathway. Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins negatively regulate cytokine signaling. The SOCS family consists of eight proteins: SOCS1-SOCS7 and CIS, each of which contains a central Src-homology 2 ...
متن کاملPerspectives in Diabetes Diabetes and Suppressors of Cytokine Signaling Proteins
The pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes is not clearly understood, but it is generally accepted that type 1 diabetes is an immune-mediated disease caused by inflammation in the islets of Langerhans. Infiltrating macrophages release proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which are toxic to the -cell. Activated T-cells also produce proinflammatory cytoki...
متن کاملSuppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS): negative regulators of signal transduction.
SOCS-1 was originally identified as an inhibitor of interleukin-6 signal transduction and is a member of a family of proteins (SOCS-1 to SOCS-7 and CIS) that contain an SH2 domain and a conserved carboxyl-terminal SOCS box motif. Mutation studies have established that critical contributions from both the amino-terminal and SH2 domains are essential for SOCS-1 and SOCS-3 to inhibit cytokine sign...
متن کاملExpression of suppressors of cytokine signaling during liver regeneration.
The cytokines TNF and IL-6 play a critical role early in liver regeneration following partial hepatectomy (PH). Since IL-6 activates signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs), we examined whether the suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) may be involved in terminating IL-6 signaling. We show here that SOCS-3 mRNA is induced 40-fold 2 hours after surgery. SOCS-2 and CIS mRNA ...
