Stat 5B, activated by insulin in a Jak-independent fashion, plays a role in glucokinase gene transcription.

Abstract：

:Stat proteins are SH2 domain-containing transcription factors that are activated by various cytokines and growth factors. In a previous work, we have identified Stat 5B as a substrate of the insulin receptor based on yeast two-hybrid and mammalian cell transfection studies. In the present study, we have approached the biological relevance of the interaction between the insulin receptor and the transcription factor Stat 5B. Firstly, we show that both insulin and insulin-like growth factor I lead to tyrosine phosphorylation of Stat 5B, and this promotes binding of the transcription factor to the beta-casein promoter containing a Stat 5 binding site. Further, we demonstrate that insulin stimulates the transcriptional activity of Stat 5B. Activation of Stat 5B by insulin appears to be Jak2-independent, whereas Jak2 is required for GH-induced Stat 5B activation. Hence the pathway by which Stat 5B is activated by insulin is different from that used by GH. In addition, by using Jak1- and Tyk2-deficient cells we exclude the involvement of both Jak1 and Tyk2 in Stat 5B activation by insulin. Taken together, our results strengthen the notion that insulin receptor can directly activate Stat 5B. More importantly, we have identified a Stat 5 binding site in the human hepatic glucokinase promoter, and we show that insulin leads to a Stat 5B-dependent increase in transcription of a reporter gene carrying this promoter. These observations favor the idea that Stat 5B plays a role in mediating the expression of the glucokinase gene induced by insulin. As a whole, our results provide evidence for the occurrence of a newly identified circuit in insulin signaling in which the cell surface receptor is directly linked to nuclear events through a transcription factor. Further, we have revealed an insulin target gene whose expression is, at least in part, dependent on Stat 5B activation and/or binding.
