Ubiquitin-mediated regulation of JAK-STAT signaling in embryonic stem cells
نویسنده
چکیده
LIF activates several intracellular signaling pathways including JAK-STAT, PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways. LIF is an important cytokine for maintenance of pluripotency and self-renewal of mouse ES cells. The JAK-STAT signal plays a key role in maintenance of the pluripotency of ESCs. Recent evidence shows that several post-translational modifications regulate activation or inhibition of intracellular signal transductions. The JAK-STAT signal is also modulated by several modifications including phosphorylation, acetylation and ubiquitination. In this review, we discuss regulation of the LIF-mediated-JAK-STAT signaling pathway that contributes to self-renewal of pluripotent ESCs.

The Jak-Stat Signaling Pathway of Interferons System: Snapshots
Interferons (IFNs) are a family of small regulatory glycoproteins that play a central role in the defense against viral infections. Although IFNs have been initially discovered as antiviral factors, today they are known as an integral part of the cytokine network that affect a wide range of biological processes. IFNs exert their pleiotropic effects through their multisubunit cell surface recept...

Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a member of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) cytokine family. All members of this family activate signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), a transcription factor that influences stem and progenitor cell identity, proliferation and cytoprotection. The role of LIF in development was first identified when LIF was demonstrated to support the propagatio...

The adult intestinal homeostasis is tightly controlled by proper proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells. The JAK/STAT (Janus Kinase/Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription) signaling pathway is essential for the regulation of adult stem cell activities and maintenance of intestinal homeostasis. Currently, it remains largely unknown how JAK/STAT signaling activities ...
متن کاملInsulin receptor substrate-4 interacts with ubiquitin-specific protease 18 to activate the Jak/STAT signaling pathway
Ubiquitin-specific protease 18 (USP18) as a negative regulator of the Jak/STAT signaling pathway plays an important role in the host innate immune response. USP18 has been shown to bind to the type I interferon receptor subunit 2 (IFNAR2) to down-regulate the Jak/STAT signaling. In this study, we showed that insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-4 functioned as a novel USP18-binding protein. Co-prec...

Recently various kinds of cardiac stem/progenitor cells have been identified and suggested to be involved in cardiac repair and regeneration in injured myocardium. In this review, we focus on the roles of JAK-STAT signaling in cardiac stem/progenitor cells in cardiomyogenesis. JAK-STAT signaling plays important roles in the differentiation of stem cells into cardiac lineage cells. The activatio...
