Interferon (IFN)-alpha and IFN-gamma suppress the growth of haematopoietic progenitor cells. IFN-alpha activates Janus kinase-1 (Jak1) and Tyrosine kinase-2 (Tyk2), followed by the phosphorylation of the signal transducers and activators of transcription, Stat1 and Stat2. IFN-gamma activates Jak1 and Jak2, followed by the activation of Stat1. Activated Stats bind the promoter regions of IFN-inducible genes. We evaluated the role of Tyk2 and Stat1 in the IFN-mediated inhibition of haematopoietic progenitor cell growth. While IFN-alpha (1000 U/ml) suppressed the number of granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming units (CFU-GM) or erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E) from wild-type mouse bone marrow cells, this suppression was partially inhibited by a deficiency in Tyk2 and completely inhibited by a deficiency in Stat1. High levels of IFN-alpha (10,000 U/ml) suppressed the CFU-GM or BFU-E obtained from Stat1-deficient mice, but did not suppress this growth in cells from Tyk2-deficient mice. Stat1 was phosphorylated by IFN-alpha in Tyk2-deficient cells, although the level of phosphorylation was weaker than that observed in wild type mice. Thus, the inhibitory signal on haematopoietic progenitor cells mediated by IFN-alpha may be transduced by two signalling pathways, one regulated by Tyk2 and the other dependent on Stat1. IFN-gamma also suppressed the number of CFU-GM or BFU-E, and this pathway was mediated by IFN-gamma in a Stat1-dependent manner, independently of Tyk2.
干扰素(IFN)-α和IFN-γ可抑制造血祖细胞的生长。IFN-α激活Janus激酶-1(Jak1)和酪氨酸激酶-2(Tyk2),随后信号转导子和转录激活子Stat1和Stat2发生磷酸化。IFN-γ激活Jak1和Jak2,随后激活Stat1。活化的Stat蛋白结合IFN诱导基因的启动子区域。我们评估了Tyk2和Stat1在IFN介导的造血祖细胞生长抑制中的作用。虽然IFN-α(1000 U/ml)可抑制野生型小鼠骨髓细胞中粒细胞-巨噬细胞集落形成单位(CFU-GM)或红系爆式集落形成单位(BFU-E)的数量,但这种抑制作用因Tyk2缺陷而部分受到抑制,因Stat1缺陷而完全受到抑制。高水平的IFN-α(10000 U/ml)可抑制Stat1缺陷小鼠的CFU-GM或BFU-E,但不能抑制Tyk2缺陷小鼠细胞的这种生长。在Tyk2缺陷细胞中,Stat1可被IFN-α磷酸化,尽管磷酸化水平比野生型小鼠中观察到的要弱。因此,IFN-α介导的对造血祖细胞的抑制信号可能通过两条信号通路转导,一条由Tyk2调节,另一条依赖于Stat1。IFN-γ也可抑制CFU-GM或BFU-E的数量,且该途径由IFN-γ以Stat1依赖的方式介导,与Tyk2无关。
