Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) is constitutively activated by BCR/ABL, the oncogenic tyrosine kinase responsible for chronic myelogenous leukemia. The mechanism of BCR/ABL-mediated STAT5 activation is unknown. We show here that the BCR/ABL SH3 and SH2 domains interact with hematopoietic cell kinase (Hck), leading to the stimulation of Hck catalytic activity. Active Hck phosphorylated STAT5B on Tyr699, which represents an essential step in STAT5B stimulation. Moreover, a kinase-dead Hck mutant and Hck inhibitor PP2 abrogated BCR/ABL-dependent activation of STAT5 and elevation of expression of STAT5 downstream effectors A1 and pim-1. These data identify a novel BCR/ABL-Hck-STAT5 signaling pathway, which plays an important role in BCR/ABL-mediated transformation of myeloid cells.
信号转导子和转录激活子5(STAT5)被BCR/ABL组成性激活,BCR/ABL是一种致癌酪氨酸激酶,与慢性粒细胞白血病有关。BCR/ABL介导的STAT5激活机制尚不清楚。我们在此表明,BCR/ABL的SH3和SH2结构域与造血细胞激酶(Hck)相互作用,导致Hck催化活性的刺激。活性Hck在Tyr699处磷酸化STAT5B,这是STAT5B激活的关键步骤。此外,激酶失活的Hck突变体和Hck抑制剂PP2消除了STAT5的BCR/ABL依赖性激活以及STAT5下游效应物A1和pim-1表达的升高。这些数据确定了一条新的BCR/ABL-Hck-STAT5信号通路,该通路在BCR/ABL介导的髓系细胞转化中起重要作用。
