Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a glycoprotein that stimulates proliferation and differentiation of progenitor cells of neutrophils by signaling through its receptor (G-CSFR). Although the G- CSFR belongs to the cytokine receptor superfamily, which lacks an intracellular kinase domain, G-CSF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins is critical for its biologic activities. We report here that JAK1 and JAK2 tyrosine kinases are tyrosine phosphorylated in response to G-CSF induction. We also demonstrate that the DNA-binding protein STAT3 (also called the acute-phase response factor [APRF], activated by interleukin-6) is an early target of G-CSF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation. G-CSF induces two DNA-binding complexes; the major complex contains tyrosine phosphorylated STAT3 protein and the minor complex appears to be a heterodimer of the STAT1 (previously p91, a component of DNA-binding complexes activated by interferons) and STAT3 proteins. Antiphosphotyrosine antibody interferes with the DNA binding activity of activated STAT3, indicating that tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3 is important for the DNA binding activity. These results identify a signal transduction pathway activated in response to G-CSF and provide a mechanism for the rapid modulation of gene expression by G-CSF.

In monocytes, the nuclear factor NF-kappa B has been invoked as an important transcription factor in the expression of cytokine genes, of cell-surface receptors and in the expression of human immunodeficiency virus. In such cells, DNA binding activity of NF-kappa B can be detected without intentional stimulation. In our studies, cells of the human monocytic line Mono Mac 6, cultured in medium containing fetal-calf serum and low levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), also exhibit such ‘constitutive’ NF-kappa B, as demonstrated by mobility-shift analysis of nuclear extracts. This nuclear NF-kappa B was still present when contaminant LPS was removed by ultrafiltration and when serum was omitted. Protein-DNA complexes of constitutive NF-kappa B are similar in mobility to the LPS-induced NF-kappa B and both are recognized by an antibody specific to the p50 subunit of NF-kappa B. By contrast, treatment of cells with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) will only block LPS-induced NF-kappa B, but not the constitutive binding protein. Using LPS-free and serum-free conditions, constitutive NF-kappa B can be detected in different cell lines of the monocytic lineage (HL60, U937, THP-1, Mono Mac 1 and Mono Mac 6), but not in Molt 4 T cells or K562 stem cells. When ordered according to stage of maturation, the amount of constitutive NF-kappa B was not increased in more mature cell lines. Furthermore, when inducing differentiation in Mono Mac 6 cells, with vitamin D3, no change in constitutive or inducible NF-kappa B can be detected. Analysis of primary cells revealed substantial constitutive NF-kappa B-binding activity in blood monocytes, pleural macrophages and alveolar macrophages. The constitutive NF-kappa B appears to be functionally active, since a low level of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) transcript is detectable in monocytes, and this level can be increased by blocking transcript degradation using cycloheximide. The level of constitutive NF-kappa B in these cells is variable and is frequently found to be lower in the more mature macrophages. Constitutive NF-kappa B was not maintained by autocrine action of cytokines TNF, interleukin 6, interleukin 10, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor or macrophage colony-stimulating factor, since neutralizing antibodies did not reduce constitutive DNA-binding activity. Furthermore, blockade of prostaglandin or leukotriene biosynthesis did not affect constitutive NF-kappa B.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The protein tyrosine kinases JAK1 and JAK2 are phosphorylated tyrosine after the interaction of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) with its transmembrane receptor. So too is Stat3, a member of the STAT family of transcriptional activators thought to be activated by the JAK kinases. Truncated G-CSF receptor (G-CSF-R) mutants were used to determine the different regions of the cytoplasmic domain necessary for tyrosine phosphorylation of the signaling molecules JAK2, Stat3, and p42, p44MAPK. We have shown that G-CSF-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and kinase activation of JAK2 requires the membrane proximal 57 amino acids of the cytoplasmic domain. In contrast, maximal Stat3 tyrosine phosphorylation required amino acids 96 to 183 of the G-CSF-R cytoplasmic domain, Stat3 DNA binding could occur with a receptor truncated 96 amino acids from the transmembrane domain and containing a single tyrosine residue, but was reduced in comparison with the full- length receptor. Together with the tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat3, this finding suggests that additional Stat3 does not appear to be required for proliferation. MAP kinase tyrosine phosphorylation correlated with both the proliferative response and JAK2 activation.

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.

Abstract The proliferation and differentiation of neutrophils is regulated by granulocyte-specific colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF ). G-CSF uses a receptor of the cytokine receptor superfamily and, in common with all members of the family, induces the tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of members of the Janus protein tyrosine kinase (Jak) family. In both myeloid cells and a human fibrosarcoma cell line expressing the G-CSF receptor, G-CSF induces the tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of Jak1, Jak2, and Tyk2. In addition, G-CSF induces the tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor and members of the signal transducers and activators of transcription (Stat) family, including Stat3, as well as Stat1 and Stat5, depending on the cells involved. Using mutant cell lines lacking various Jaks, we show here that Jak1 is critical for G-CSF–mediated Stat activation, whereas Jak2 or Tyk2 are either not required or play redundant or ancillary roles. In the absence of Jak1, G-CSF induces activation of Jak2 and Tyk2, but fails to induce receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and induces dramatically reduced levels of Stat activation. A kinase-inactive Jak2, when overexpressed in cells lacking endogenous Jak2, can suppress Jak1 activation, receptor phosphorylation, and Stat activation, suggesting competition in the receptor complex either for Jak1 binding or substrates. Because the requirement for Jak1 is very similar to that previously shown for interleukin-6 signaling, the data support the concept that the G-CSF receptor and gp130 are both structurally and functionally similar.

Abstract Interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent mouse myeloid 32DC13 cells differentiate to neutrophils in response to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G- CSF). Introduction of the human c-fms gene, which encodes the receptor for CSF-1, into 32DC13 cells gave rise to variants that were able to proliferate in medium containing either murine IL-3 or human recombinant CSF-1, but were unable to differentiate to granulocytes in response to G-CSF. Unlike parental 32CD13 cells, CSF-1-responsive derivatives expressed nonspecific esterase when grown in CSF-1, but did not exhibit many other morphologic, immunologic, or functional properties of mononuclear phagocyte differentiation, or express murine CSF-1 receptors. Accelerated turnover of the human CSF-1 receptor was observed in response to CSF-1 and phorbol esters, but not after stimulation with IL-3 or bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Although both CSF-1 and IL-3 induced tyrosine phosphorylation of heterologous substrates in the dually responsive cells, differences in the patterns of substrate phosphorylation were observed in response to the two hematopoietins. We conclude that expression of the human CSF-1 receptor in 32DC13 cells not only induces CSF-1 responsiveness, but alters its phenotype in a way that prohibits granulocyte differentiation.
