Sequential activation of JAKs, STATs and xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase by hypoxia in lung microvascular endothelial cells
چکیده انگلیسی

Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase (XDH/XO) is associated with various pathological conditions related to the endothelial injury. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the activation of XDH/XO by hypoxia remains largely unknown. In this report, we determined whether the Janus kinases (JAKs) and signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) signaling pathway is involved in hypoxia-induced activation of XDH/XO in primary cultures of lung microvascular endothelial cells (LMVEC). We found that hypoxia significantly increased interleukin 6 (IL6) production in a time-dependent manner in LMVEC. Hypoxia also markedly augmented phosphorylation/activation of JAKs (JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3) and the JAK downstream effectors STATs (STAT3 and STAT5). Hypoxia-induced activation of STAT3 was blocked by IL6 antibodies, the JAK inhibitor AG490 and the suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), implying that hypoxia-promoted IL6 secretion activates the JAK/STAT pathway in LMVEC. Phosphorylation and DNA-binding activity of STAT3 were also inhibited by the p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002, suggesting that multiple signaling pathways involved in STAT activation by hypoxia. Importantly, hypoxia promoted XDH/XO activation in LMVEC, which was markedly reversed by inhibiting the JAK-STAT pathway using IL6 antibodies, AG490 and SOCS3. These data demonstrated that JAKs, STATs and XDH/XO were sequentially activated by hypoxia. These data provide the first evidence indicating that the JAK-STAT pathway is involved in hypoxia-mediated XDH/XO activation in LMVEC.
