Abstract
TIMP-1, a well-known MMP inhibitor, displays other biological activities such as cell survival, proliferation and differentiation in hematopoietic cells. In this report, we investigated the role of the Src-related kinase Lyn in TIMP-1 induced UT-7 erythroleukemic cell survival. We showed that (i) tyrosine 507 of Lyn was dephosphorylated and Lyn kinase activity enhanced by TIMP-1, (ii) Lyn silencing suppressed TIMP-1 anti-apoptotic activity and (iii) Lyn was activated upstream the JAK2/PI 3-kinase/Akt pathway. Our data suggest a novel role for Lyn in erythroid cell survival.
