The murine myeloid precursor cell line FDC-P1/MAC simultaneously expresses receptors for multi-colony-stimulating factor (CSF), granulocyte-macrophage (GM)-CSF, and macrophage (M)-CSF. Growth of FDC-P1/MAC cells in either multi-CSF or GM-CSF results in the posttranscriptional suppression of M-CSF receptor (c-fms proto-oncogene) expression. We use the term transregulation to describe this control of receptor expression and have further characterized this regulatory process. The removal of FDC-P1/MAC cells from GM-CSF stimulation resulted in the re-expression of c-fms mRNA independent of M-CSF stimulation and new protein synthesis. Switching FDC-P1/MAC cells from growth in M-CSF to GM-CSF caused the selective degradation of c-fms mRNA within 6 h after factor switching. Blocking protein synthesis or gene transcription with metabolic inhibitors effectively prevented GM-CSF stimulated degradation of c-fms mRNA. These results suggest that the transregulation of c-fms transcripts by GM-CSF requires the transcriptional activation of a selective mRNA degradation factor. In vitro analysis, the use of cytoplasmic cell extracts, provided evidence that a ribonuclease is preferentially active in GM-CSF stimulated cells, although the specificity for mRNA degradation in vitro is broader than seen in vivo. Together, these data suggest that GM-CSF can dominantly transregulate the level of c-fms transcript through the transcriptional activation of a ribonuclease degradation system.

Abstract Src activation involves the coordinated regulation of positive and negative tyrosine phosphorylation sites. The mechanism whereby receptor tyrosine kinases, cytokine receptors, and integrins activate Src is not known. Here, we demonstrate that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) activates Lyn, the predominant Src kinase in myeloid cells, through Gab2-mediated recruitment of Shp2. After G-CSF stimulation, Lyn dynamically associates with Gab2 in a spatiotemporal manner. The dephosphorylation of phospho-Lyn Tyr507 was abrogated in Shp2-deficient cells transfected with the G-CSF receptor but intact in cells expressing phosphatase-defective Shp2. Auto-phosphorylation of Lyn Tyr396 was impaired in cells treated with Gab2 siRNA. The constitutively activated Shp2E76A directed the dephosphorylation of phospho-Lyn Tyr507 in vitro. Tyr507 did not undergo dephosphorylation in G-CSF–stimulated cells expressing a mutant Gab2 unable to bind Shp2. We propose that Gab2 forms a complex with Lyn and after G-CSF stimulation, Gab2 recruits Shp2, which dephosphorylates phospho-Lyn Tyr507, leading to Lyn activation.
