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.

Retinal ganglion cell survival after severe optic nerve injury is modulated by crosstalk between Jak/Stat signaling and innate immune responses in the zebrafish retina

TL;DR: In this article, an RNA-seq-based approach was used to identify genes and pathways active in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) that may modulate their survival.

Administration of Interleukin-35-Conditioned Autologous Tolerogenic Dendritic Cells Prolong Allograft Survival After Heart Transplantation.

TL;DR: Overexpression of IL-35 suppressed DC maturation, promoted the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines, and subsequently affected the balance between Treg and Th17 cells as well as regulating let-7i, which targets SOCS1.

Total withanolides ameliorates imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the mechanism of psoriasis treatment by Datura metel L. capsule and determined the biochemical processes in the treatment of Psoriasis based on Treg/Th17 axis cell-mediated bidirectional immunoregulatory functions.

Methionyl-Methionine Exerts Anti-Inflammatory Effects through the JAK2-STAT5-NF-κB and MAPK Signaling Pathways in Bovine Mammary Epithelial Cells.

TL;DR: Collectively, Met-Met has beneficial effects on MAC-T cell inflammation by activating the JAK2-STAT5 pathway and then inhibiting the NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways.

ZNF384: A Potential Therapeutic Target for Psoriasis and Alzheimer’s Disease Through Inflammation and Metabolism

TL;DR: The STFs (PPARG, ZFPM2, ZNF415, HLX, and ANHX) may increase the morbidity rate of AD in psoriasis by initiating a positive feedback loop of excessive inflammation and metabolic disorders.

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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acquired mutation of the tyrosine kinase JAK2 in human myeloproliferative disorders.

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.

A unique clonal JAK2 mutation leading to constitutive signalling causes polycythaemia vera

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.
