Suppressors of cytokine-signaling proteins induce insulin resistance in the retina and promote survival of retinal cells.
OBJECTIVE Suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) are implicated in the etiology of diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Here, we show that some SOCS members are induced, while others are constitutively expressed, in retina and examine whether persistent elevation of SOCS levels in retina by chronic inflammation or cellular stress predisposes to developing insulin resistance in retina, a...
متن کاملEffect of valproic acid on JAK/STAT pathway, SOCS1, SOCS3, Bcl-xL, c-Myc, and Mcl-1 gene expression, cell growth inhibition and apoptosis induction in human colon cancer HT29 cell line.
Background and aim: Cytokines are a large family of protein messengers. These proteins induce various cellular responses. Janus kinases (JAKs) are mediators of cytokine, activated JAKs phosphorylate signal transducers, and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins that regulate cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Aberrant JAK/STAT signaling is involved in the oncogenesis of se...
متن کاملSuppressor of Cytokine Signalling-6 Promotes Neurite Outgrowth via JAK2/STAT5-Mediated Signalling Pathway, Involving Negative Feedback Inhibition
BACKGROUND Suppressors of cytokine signalling (SOCS) protein family are key regulators of cellular responses to cytokines and play an important role in the nervous system. The SOCS6 protein, a less extensively studied SOCS family member, has been shown to induce insulin resistance in the retina and promote survival of the retinal neurons. But no reports are available about the role of SOCS6 in ...
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 کاملEffect of valproic acid on SOCS1, SOCS3, JAK1, JAK2, STAT3, STAT5A, and SOCS5B in hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell line
Background and aim: Aberrant activation of diverse intracellular signaling pathways involved in differentiation, cell growth, apoptosis. These pathways include known oncogenic pathways such as Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway. The JAK/STAT signaling pathway plays an important role in many cellular functions. This pathway can be activated by variou...
