“…Examples of molecules that are activated in response to hematopoietic growth factors include, but are not limited to, nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, such as Src family kinases (SFKs). SFKs function in signal transduction from growth factor receptors for granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin (IL)-3, IL-5, stem cell factor (SCF), erythropoietin, M-CSF, G-CSF, thrombopoietin, and Flt3 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Although diverse cytokine receptors activate SFKs in response to ligand binding, most of the data thus far has been derived by studying cell-line models using dominant negative and activating approaches.…”

Objective-Src family kinases (SFK) have been implicated in regulating growth factor and integrin-induced proliferation, migration, and gene expression in multiple cell types. However, little is known about the role of these kinases in the growth, homing, and engraftment potential of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells.Results-Here we show that loss of hematopoietic-specific SFKs Hck, Fgr, and Lyn results in increased number of Sca-1 + Lin − cells in the bone marrow, which respond differentially to cytokine-induced growth in vitro and manifest a significant defect in the long-term repopulating potential in vivo. Interestingly, a significant increase in expression of adhesion molecules, known to coincide with the homing potential of wild-type bone marrow cells is also observed on the surface of SFK −/− cells, although, this increase did not affect the homing potential of more primitive Lin − Sca-1 + SFK −/− cells. The stem cell-repopulating defect observed in mice transplanted with SFK −/− bone marrow cells is due to the loss of Lyn Src kinase, because deficiency of Lyn, but not Hck or Fgr, recapitulated the long-term stem cell defect observed in mice transplanted with SFK −/− bone marrow cells.Conclusions-Taken together, our results demonstrate an essential role for Lyn kinase in positively regulating the long-term and multilineage engraftment of stem cells, which is distinct from its role in mature B cells and myeloid cells. HHS Public Access Author Manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript Author ManuscriptEngraftment and reconstitution of normal hematopoiesis following transplantation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor (HSC/P) cells is the product of several important parameters, including the ability of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) to home to, anchor within, and survive in specialized bone marrow (BM) niches, followed by timely proliferation and selfrenewal of stem cells for life-long hematopoiesis. While investigators have sought to understand the mechanisms behind each individual step, engraftment remains largely undefined.Besides homing and anchoring of HSC/P cells following transplantation, signals emanating from cytokine receptors also play a prominent role in regulating HSC/P cell growth and survival. In general, both positive and negative signals induced in response to cytokine stimulation contribute to this process. Deregulated signaling downstream from cytokine receptors can alter the growth and differentiation of these cells and, in some cases, contribute to leukemogenesis. Examples of molecules that are activated in response to hematopoietic growth factors include, but are not limited to, nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, such as Src family kinases (SFKs). SFKs function in signal transduction from growth factor receptors for granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin (IL)-3, IL-5, stem cell factor (SCF), erythropoietin, M-CSF, G-CSF, thrombopoietin, and Flt3 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].

Signal transduction pathways that contribute to myeloid differentiation

The production of mature, differentiated myeloid cells is regulated by the action of hematopoietic cytokines on progenitor cells in the bone marrow. Cytokines drive the process of myeloid differentiation by binding to specific cell-surface receptors in a stage-and lineage-specific manner. Following the binding of a cytokine to its cognate receptor, intracellular signal-transduction pathways become activated that facilitate the myeloid differentiation process. These intracellular signaling pathways may promote myelopoiesis by stimulating expansion of a progenitor pool, supporting cellular survival during the differentiation process, or by directly driving the phenotypic changes associated with differentiation. Ultimately, pathways that drive the differentiation process converge on myeloid transcription factors, including PU.1 and the C/EBP family, that are critical for differentiation to proceed. While much is known about the cytokines, cytokine receptors and transcription factors that regulate myeloid differentiation, less is known about the precise roles that specific signaling mediators play in promoting myeloid differentiation. Recently, however, the application of novel pharmacologic inhibitors, siRNA strategies, and transgenic and knockout models has begun to shed light on the involvement and function of signaling pathways in normal myeloid differentiation. This review will discuss the roles that key signaling pathways and mediators play in myeloid differentiation.

“…However, little is known of the molecular mechanisms by which the Nef-Hck interaction contributes to the functional aberration of macrophages and the development of AIDS. The fact that Src kinases including Hck have both positive and negative roles in cell signaling pathways [16][17][18][19] makes it difficult to predict the functional consequences of the Nef-Hck interaction.A well-characterized function of Nef is the down-regulation of the cell surface expression of CD4 6,7,20 or major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I). 6,7,[21][22][23] Nef accelerates the endocytosis of CD4, 20 the receptor for HIV-1, 1-3 which allows an efficient viral release from the host cells.…”

Nef is a multifunctional pathogenetic protein of HIV-1, the interaction of which with Hck, a Src tyrosine kinase highly expressed in macrophages, has been shown to be responsible for the development of AIDS. However, how the Nef-Hck interaction leads to the functional aberration of macrophages is poorly understood. We recently showed that Nef markedly inhibited the activity of macrophage colonystimulating factor (M-CSF), a primary cytokine for macrophages. Here IntroductionHIV-1 infections lead to the development of AIDS by causing progressive degeneration of the immune system. [1][2][3] The main cellular targets of HIV-1 are CD4 ϩ T cells and macrophages, and the depletion of CD4 ϩ T cells caused by an infection is suggested to account for many aspects of the pathogenesis of HIV-1. [1][2][3] Meanwhile, a number of studies have revealed the functional aberration of HIV-1-infected macrophages. 4,5 Infected macrophages showed an altered profile of the production of cytokine/chemokines 4 or migratory capacity, 5 which might contribute to the uncontrolled homeostasis of the immune system. Indeed, functional analyses of HIV-1 Nef protein have revealed that macrophages as well as CD4 ϩ T cells play an important role in the development of AIDS.Nef is a 25-to 30-kDa protein with no enzymatic activity encoded by the HIV-1 genome. 6,7 Studies of HIV-1-infected patients have clearly demonstrated Nef to be a critical determinant of the development of AIDS: HIV-1 strains without an intact Nef gene were frequently isolated from nonprogressive long-term survivors. 8,9 Subsequent study of HIV-1 transgenic mice confirmed the pathogenetic activity of Nef: targeted expression of the entire coding sequence of HIV-1 in CD4 ϩ T cells and macrophages caused a severe AIDS-like disease in mice, which was completely abolished by the disruption of the Nef gene. 10 Importantly, only an amino acid substitution in the proline-rich (PxxP) motifs of Nef was sufficient to protect mice from the development of AIDS-like disease. 11 A number of studies have revealed that Nef interacts with a subset of cellular Src family tyrosine kinases, via the PxxP motifs. 12-15 The Nef PxxP motifs had an affinity for the Src homology (SH3) domain of Hck, Lyn, and possibly c-Src, but not of Fgr, Fyn, Lck, In particular, the interaction between the Nef PxxP motifs and the Hck SH3 domain was likely to be important, because the interaction caused the activation of Hck. [13][14][15] Indeed, a study with HIV-1 transgenic mice clearly demonstrated the importance of the Nef-Hck interaction for the development of AIDS: the appearance of the AIDS-like disease was significantly delayed when the HIV-1 transgenic mice expressing an intact Nef gene were crossed with an hck Ϫ/Ϫ background. 11 Given that Hck is expressed in macrophages but not in CD4 ϩ T cells, 16 the finding indicates that the Nef-Hck interaction in macrophages is at least in part responsible for the development of AIDS. However, little is known of the molecular mechanisms by which the Nef-Hck interaction c...
