Overview of cytokine signalling
Cytokine receptors consist of at least two chains, the cytoplasmatic domains of which bind Janus kinases
(JAKs)
JAK JAK
Transcription factors (STATs) bind to the phosphorylated receptors,
and are in turn phosphorylated by the
activated JAKs
Phosphorylated STATs form dimers that translocate into the nucleus
to initiate new gene transcription

Cytokine binding dimerizes the receptor, bringing together the cytoplasmic JAKs, which activate each
other and phosphorylate the receptor

Regulation of JAK/STAT signaling
• Phosphatases
SHP-1/2, CD45 – JAK
SHP-2, PTP1B, TC-PTP, PTP-BL – STAT
• Nuclear export/import
NES (nuclear export sequence)
NLS (nuclear localization sequence)
• SOCS (suppressors of cytokine signaling) eg. PIAS (Protein Inhibitor of Activated STATs)
• Ser-phosphorylation, acetylation, o-glycosylation of TAD
JAK inhibitors
Treatment:
• Polycythemia vera, thrombocytemia,
• Myeloid metaplasia, myelofibrosis
• Psoriasis
• RA
Examples:
• Lestaurtinib
• Tofacitinib
• Ruxolitinib
Chemokines
• 90-130 aa. polypeptides Functions:
• Chemotaxis for different leukocytes:
– Regulation of normal leukocyte traffic
– Recruitment of cells to inflammatory sites
• Enhancement of cell adhesion
• Activation of effector leukocytes
• Development of the inflammatory reaction
• Development of normal lymphoid tissues
