Oncostatin M as a Potent Mitogen for AIDS-Kaposi's Sarcoma-Derived Cells

Abstract: Oncostatin M, a cytokine produced by activated lymphoid cells, regulates the growth and differentiation of a number of tumor and normal cells. In contrast to its effects on normal endothelial and aortic smooth muscle cell cultures, Oncostatin M was a potent mitogen for cells derived from acquired immunodeficiency syndrome-related Kaposi's sarcoma (AIDS-KS). After exposure to Oncostatin M, AIDS-KS cells assumed a spindle morphology, had an increased ability to proliferate in soft agar, and secreted increased am… Show more

“…As a consequence, some biological effects are shared by OSM and LIF, whereas others are OSM-specific. OSM is known to be a growth regulator which stimulates the growth of fibroblasts (18), vascular smooth muscle cells (19), and Kaposi's sarcoma cells (20).…”

“…Second, endothelial cells respond to oncostatin M with activation of MAP kinase activity (11), IL-6 secretion (9), and delayed, but prolonged, P-selectin synthesis (12). Third, oncostatin M is the major autocrine growth factor for Kaposi's sarcoma cells (13), and these spindle-shaped cells are thought to be of endothelial cell origin (14,15).…”

“…6,7 Of particular interest are the findings that these cells secrete and respond to interleukin-6 (IL-6) and oncostatin M (OSM) suggesting a possible autocrine and/or paracrine growth regulation. 6,[8][9][10] HHV-8 infection may conceivably cause the cytokine production in these cells. 11 It is known that viral genes can transactivate cellular genes; such transactivation is thought to be one of the mechanisms of tumorigenesis.…”
