JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway mediates endothelial-like differentiation of immature dendritic cells

چکیده
Endothelial-like differentiation (ELD) of dendritic cells (DCs) is a poorly understood phenomenon. The present study evaluated the effect on the ELD of DCs by using human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells with high or poor differentiation. The results demonstrated that KYSE450 (highly differentiated) and KYSE70 (poorly differentiated) cell supernatants induce the differentiation of immature DCs (iDCs), derived from healthy adult volunteers, away from the DC pathway and towards an endothelial cell (EC) fate. This effect was strongest in the cells treated with the KYSE70 supernatant. During the ELD of iDCs, sustained activation of JAK (janus tyrosine kinase)/STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) signaling was detected. Incubation of iDCs with the JAK inhibitor, AG490 blocked JAK/STAT3 phosphorylation and iDC differentiation. These results suggested that the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway mediates ELD of iDCs. Furthermore, the poorly differentiated ESCC cells may have a greater effect on the ELD of iDCs than highly differentiated ESCC cells.

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...

Abnormal differentiation of myeloid cells is one of the hallmarks of cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms of this process remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the effect of tumor-derived factors on Janus kinase (Jak)/STAT signaling in myeloid cells during their differentiation into dendritic cells. Tumor cell conditioned medium induced activation of Jak2 and STAT3, which was asso...

Endothelial-like differentiation of dendritic cells (DCs) is an interesting and significant phenomenon, which is worth further investigation. Here, we show that the tumor microenvironment derived from the supernatant of the SW620 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line and colon adenocarcinoma tissue homogenate can promote immature DCs (iDCs) to differentiate from the DC pathway toward endothelial...

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...

Meteorin is an orphan ligand which has been previously reported to control neuritogenesis and angiogenesis, as well as gliogenesis. However, the precise function of this factor in CNS development and the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that meteorin is involved in GFAP-positive glial differentiation through activation of the Jak-STAT3 pathway, by usin...
