JAK-STAT signaling in cardiomyogenesis of cardiac stem cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 activation of JAK-STAT signal elicits the mobilization of mesenchymal stem cells as well, contributing to the maintenance of cardiac function. Thus we propose that JAK-STAT could be a target signaling pathway in cardiac regenerative therapy.

JAK-STAT signaling in stem cells and their niches in Drosophila
JAK-STAT signaling is a highly conserved regulator of stem cells and their niches. Aberrant activation in hematopoietic stem cells is the underlying cause of a majority of myeloproliferative diseases. This review will focus on the roles of JAK-STAT activity in three different adult stem cell systems in Drosophila. Tightly controlled levels of JAK-STAT signaling are required for stem cell mainte...
متن کاملThe 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...

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 intracellul...
متن کاملJAK-STAT signaling and myocardial glucose metabolism
JAK-STAT signaling occurs in virtually every tissue of the body, and so does glucose metabolism. In this review, we summarize the regulation of glucose metabolism in the myocardium and ponder whether JAK-STAT signaling participates in this regulation. Despite a paucity of data directly pertaining to cardiac myocytes, we conclude that JAK-STAT signaling may contribute to the development of insul...

The history of cardiac JAK-STAT research begins in the mid-nineties, when various groups began to focus their attention on how myocardial physiology was specifically regulated through JAK-STAT signaling. Interest in the area began to gro...
