TNF-alpha induces tyrosine phosphorylation and recruitment of the Src homology protein-tyrosine phosphatase 2 to the gp130 signal-transducing subunit of the IL-6 receptor complex.

TNF- Induces Tyrosine Phosphorylation and Recruitment of the Src Homology Protein-Tyrosine Phosphatase 2 to the gp130 Signal-Transducing Subunit of the IL-6 Receptor Complex

Activation of the protein tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 via the interleukin-6 signal transducing receptor protein gp130 requires tyrosine kinase Jak1 and limits acute-phase protein expression.

Stimulation of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) signalling pathway occurs via the IL-6 receptor-glycoprotein 130 (IL-6R-gp130) receptor complex and results in the regulation of acute-phase protein genes in liver cells. Ligand binding to the receptor complex leads to tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of Janus kinases (Jak), phosphorylation of the signal transducing subunit gp130, followed by recru...

Signal transduction of IL-6, leukemia-inhibitory factor, and oncostatin M: structural receptor requirements for signal attenuation.

Stimulation of the IL-6R complex leads to Src homology domain containing tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) recruitment to the receptor subunit gp130 and its subsequent tyrosine phosphorylation. SHP2 is a two-SH2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase that is activated by many cytokines and growth factors. SHP2 counteracts the activation of transcription factors of the STAT family and the in...

Mechanisms of Socs3 Phosphorylation upon Il-6 Stimulation: Contributions of Src- and Receptor Tyrosine Kinases

additional stimulus. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine which plays important roles in the coordination and regulation of immune responses. It was first described as B-cell stimulating factor-2 which induces differentiation and proliferation of B and T cells (1). Furthermore, IL-6 is the major mediator of acute phase proteins (APP) in rat hepatocytes (2-4). It is also implicated in several immu...

Interferon-beta interrupts interleukin-6-dependent signaling events in myeloma cells.

Type I interferons (IFNs-alpha and IFN-beta) bind to a common receptor to exert strong antiproliferative activity on a broad range of cell types, including interleukin-6 (IL-6)-dependent myeloma cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of IFN-beta pretreatment on IL-6-stimulated mitogenic signaling in the human myeloma cell line U266. IL-6 induced transient tyrosine phosphorylation of t...
