Abstract Chronic alcohol intake in male rats results in: 1) demasculinization of the GH pulse pattern; 2) reduced serum testosterone concentrations; and 3) decreased expression hepatic CYP2C11. Hepatic CYP2C11 expression is regulated by the male pattern of GH through the Janus-kinase/signal transducer and activators of transcription proteins (JAK/STAT) signal transduction pathway in the male rat. Renal CYP2C11 is regulated by testosterone, not GH. The involvement of the JAK/STAT5b signal transduction pathway in renal CYP2C11 signaling has not been studied. We tested the hypothesis that ethanol reduces CYP2C11 levels by interfering with the JAK/STAT5b pathway. Using a total enteral nutrition (TEN) model to feed rats a well-balanced diet, we have studied the effects of chronic ethanol intake (21 d) on hepatic and renal JAK/STAT pathway of adult male rats (8–10/group). We found decreased hepatic and renal expression of CYP2C11 in ethanol-fed rats with concomitant decreases in STAT5b and phospho-STAT5b, decreased in vitro hepatic STAT5b binding to a CYP2C11 promoter element and no effects on hepatic GHR levels. Ethanol caused tissue specific effects in phospho-JAK2 and JAK2, with increased levels in the liver, but decreased JAK2 expression in the kidney. We conclude that ethanol suppression of CYP2C11 expression is clearly associated with reductions in STAT5b levels, but not necessarily in reductions of JAK2 levels. The mechanisms underlying ethanol-induced suppression of STAT5b is yet to be determined, as is the question of whether this is secondary to hormonal effects or a direct ethanol effect.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-induced STAT inhibitor 1 (SSI-1) is known to function as a negative feedback regulator of cytokine signaling, but it is unclear whether it is involved in other biological events. Here, we show that SSI-1 participates and plays an important role in the insulin signal transduction pathway. SSI-1–deficient mice showed a significantly low level of blood sugar. While the forced expression of SSI-1 reduced the phosphorylation level of insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1), SSI-1 deficiency resulted in sustained phosphorylation of IRS-1 in response to insulin. Furthermore, SSI-1 achieves this inhibition both by binding directly to IRS-1 and by suppressing Janus kinases. These findings suggest that SSI-1 acts as a negative feedback factor also in the insulin signal transduction pathway through the suppression of IRS-1 phosphorylation.

Abstract Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) have ineffective in vivo and in vitro erythropoiesis, characterized by an impaired response to erythropoietin (Epo). We examined proliferation and maturation of MDS marrow cells in response to Epo in more detail. Epo-dependent DNA synthesis as well as induction of GATA-1 binding activity in marrow cells from 15 MDS cases were severely reduced as compared with normal bone marrow (NBM). Additionally, the appearance of morphologically identifiable erythroid cells was decreased in MDS cell cultures. These data indicate that both the Epo-dependent proliferation as well as the differentiation induction by Epo is suppressed. To study more upstream events of the Epo signal transduction route we investigated activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 5. In all 15 MDS samples tested, STAT5 activation was absent or greatly suppressed in response to Epo. In contrast, interleukin-3 induced a normal STAT5 response in MDS cells. Further, in MDS the subset of CD71+ BM cells that is phenotypically similar to Epo-responsive cells in normal marrow, was present. We conclude that the Epo response in MDS is disturbed at an early point in the Epo receptor (EpoR) signal transduction pathway.

Abstract The signal transduction mechanism involved in human placental lactogen (hPL) was studied. We have identified that hPL rapidly stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of at least 7 proteins including Janus Kinases (JAK1 and JAK2) and a signal transducer and activator of transcription protein (Stat3). This is the first evidence that the JAK-STAT pathway is involved in the hPL signaling. Moreover, two unknown proteins which were different from STAT proteins (Stat1, 3 and 5) in sizes were predominantly tyrosine-phosphorylated. Because human growth hormone (hGH) activates Stat1, 3, 5 and human prolactin (hPRL) activates Stat5, these results show that hPL uses a unique signal transduction pathway which is different from hGH and hPRL.
