期刊论文
SOCS3 was induced by hypoxia and suppressed STAT3 phosphorylation in pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology (2005) 1-9,-0001,():
Recently identified suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS) have been proposed as negative regulators of cytokine signaling, which have distinct mechanisms of inhibiting JAK-STAT pathway. In this study, using cultures of rat primary pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells (PASMC), we found that hypoxia induced strongly STAT3 phosphorylation by up to four-fold. At the same time, mRNA for the endogenous cytokine signaling repressor SOCS3, but not SOCS1, was markedly induced in PASMC early as 2 h following hypoxic stimulation. Furthermore, forced expression of SOCS3 gene suppressed tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3 and transcription of c-myc gene by more than 70% and 60% in PASMC under hypoxic conditions, respectively. Additionally, we showed here that hypoxia enhanced nearly two-fold increase of PASMC proliferation and overexpression SOCS3 gene downregulated hypoxia-induced PASMC proliferation by about 50%. The finding suggest that STAT3-dependent pathway is involved in the activation and proliferation of PASMC stimulated by hypoxia, and SOCS3 is a rapidly hypoxiainducible gene and acts to inhibit activation of cellular signaling pathway in a classical negative feedback loop.
