pubmed:abstractText
Chronic myelogenous leukemia is a neoplasm of pluripotent hematopoietic cells. Cytokines such as interleukin-3 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor regulate the growth and differentiation of hematopoietic precursors. These cytokines activate two distinct signals to the nucleus. One signal is through the Ras pathway, and the second involves activation of Jak2. We demonstrated that Bcr-Abl co-immunoprecipitates with and constitutively phosphorylates the common beta c chain of the interleukin-3 (IL-3) and granulocyte-macrophage-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptors. Our data show that formation of this complex leads to the constitutive activation of Jak2. Previously, it has been demonstrated that Bcr-Abl interacts with Grb2 and Shc, which in turn activates the Ras pathway. Thus, Bcr-Abl can activate signalling through both pathways in a factor-independent fashion.
