TLDR
Recent advances in Jak–STAT biology are reviewed, focusing on immune cell function, disease etiology and therapeutic intervention, as well as broader principles of gene regulation and signal-dependent TFs.Abstract:
Kinases of the Jak ('Janus kinase') family and transcription factors (TFs) of the STAT ('signal transducer and activator of transcription') family constitute a rapid membrane-to-nucleus signaling module that affects every aspect of the mammalian immune system. Research on this paradigmatic pathway has experienced breakneck growth in the quarter century since its discovery and has yielded a stream of basic and clinical insights that have profoundly influenced modern understanding of human health and disease, exemplified by the bench-to-bedside success of Jak inhibitors ('jakinibs') and pathway-targeting drugs. Here we review recent advances in Jak-STAT biology, focusing on immune cell function, disease etiology and therapeutic intervention, as well as broader principles of gene regulation and signal-dependent TFs.read more

Endothelial SOCS3 maintains homeostasis and promotes survival in endotoxemic mice
Nina Martino,Ramon Bossardi Ramos,Shuhan Lu,Kara Leyden,Lindsay Tomaszek,Ariel Jaitovich,Peter A. Vincent,Alejandro P. Adam +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of SOCS3 protein levels in the regulation of the inflammatory response was investigated in the adult endothelium of mice with a non-lethal dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Filgotinib for the treatment of Crohn’s disease
TL;DR: The phase-II study evaluating Filgotinib yielded very promising results in moderate to severe CD patients, with good clinical response, mucosal healing, while having few and moderate adverse effects, both in anti-TNF naïve and resistant patients.

Post-translational Control of Innate Immune Signaling Pathways by Herpesviruses.
TL;DR: This review highlights recent findings on the herpesvirus-mediated post-translational control along PRR-mediated signaling pathways as a powerful tool to shut off or restrict host antiviral and inflammatory responses.

TL;DR: In this article , a quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay was used to analyze the expression of JAK/STAT and inflammatory genes (TIRAP, IRAK4, NEMO, and RIP) following HT-29 cell line treatment with sonicated pathogens Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp, and a mixed cocktail.

Immunologic self-tolerance maintained by activated T cells expressing IL-2 receptor alpha-chains (CD25). Breakdown of a single mechanism of self-tolerance causes various autoimmune diseases.
TL;DR: The authors showed that CD4+CD25+ cells contribute to maintaining self-tolerance by downregulating immune response to self and non-self Ags in an Ag-nonspecific manner, presumably at the T cell activation stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Jak-STAT pathways and transcriptional activation in response to IFNs and other extracellular signaling proteins
TL;DR: A previously unrecognized direct signal transduction pathway to the nucleus has been uncovered: IFN-receptor interaction at the cell surface leads to the activation of kinases of the Jak family that phosphorylate substrate proteins called STATs (signal transducers and activators of transcription).

A Gain-of-Function Mutation of JAK2 in Myeloproliferative Disorders

TL;DR: Genetic evidence and in vitro functional studies indicate that V617F gives hematopoietic precursors proliferative and survival advantages and a high proportion of patients with myeloproliferative disorders carry a dominant gain-of-function mutation of JAK2.

TL;DR: A single acquired mutation of JAK2 was noted in more than half of patients with a myeloproliferative disorder and its presence in all erythropoietin-independent erythroid colonies demonstrates a link with growth factor hypersensitivity, a key biological feature of these disorders.

TL;DR: A clonal and recurrent mutation in the JH2 pseudo-kinase domain of the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) gene in most (> 80%) polycythaemia vera patients leads to constitutive tyrosine phosphorylation activity that promotes cytokine hypersensitivity and induces erythrocytosis in a mouse model.
