Abstract

The receptor subunit gp130 transduces multiple cell type–specific activities of the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF)/interleukin (IL)-6 family of cytokines through the signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and src homology 2 domain–bearing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP)-2/ras/Erk pathways. To define STAT-dependent physiological responses, we generated mice with a COOH-terminal gp130ΔSTAT “knock-in” mutation which deleted all STAT-binding sites. gp130ΔSTAT mice phenocopyed mice deficient for IL-6 (impaired humoral and mucosal immune and hepatic acute phase responses) and LIF (failure of blastocyst implantation). However, unlike mice with null mutations in any of the components in the gp130 signaling pathway, gp130ΔSTAT mice also displayed gastrointestinal ulceration and a severe joint disease with features of chronic synovitis, cartilaginous metaplasia, and degradation of the articular cartilage. Mitogenic hyperresponsiveness of synovial cells to the LIF/IL-6 family of cyto-kines was caused by sustained gp130-mediated SHP-2/ras/Erk activation due to impaired STAT-mediated induction of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins which normally limits gp130 signaling. Therefore, the joint pathology in gp130ΔSTAT mice is likely to arise from the disturbance of the otherwise balanced activation of the SHP-2/ras/Erk and STAT signaling cascades emanating from gp130.

Figures

Figure 1 Generation of gp130ΔSTAT/ΔSTAT mice. (A) Targeting strategy for the introduction of the gp130ΔSTAT truncation. The cytoplasmic domain of mouse gp130 with its homology motifs Box1, Box2, and Box3 (black) are schematically depicted alongside the corresponding genomic structure with exons numbered according to Betz et al. (reference 31). The targeting vector contains a Y765RHQ768 to FRHA substitution and a translational stop codon at position 769 preceding a ribosomal reentry site and the sequence encoding neomycin resistance (IRESneo). A diagnostic digest with BglII (Bg) yields a fragment of 3.8 kb from the wt allele and a 5.6-kb fragment from the targeted allele when hybridized with a probe external to the targeting vector (*). P1 and P2 refer to primers used for an allele-specific PCR reaction. S, SalI. (B) Southern blot analysis of BglII digests of DNA prepared from a targeted ES cell line and tail biopsies obtained from offspring of gp130ΔSTAT/wt intercrosses. The immobilized DNA was hybridized with a probe (* in A) external to the targeting construct. (C) Northern blot analysis of liver RNA extracted from offspring of gp130ΔSTAT/wt matings. Poly(A)+ RNA was hybridized with a cDNA fragment encoding the extracellular portion of gp130. Dicistronic gp130ΔSTAT-neo mRNA transcripts were ∼1.4 kb larger than the two major wt gp130 mRNA species. The same blot was stripped and reprobed for expression of the neo gene.

Figure 2 Failure of blastocyst implantation due to impaired signaling through heterodimeric gp130ΔSTAT/LIF-Rβ complexes. (A) Histological sections through the uteri from a gp130ΔSTAT/wt and gp130ΔSTAT/ΔSTAT mouse 5.5 d after coitum. The blastocyst (white arrowhead) in the gp130ΔSTAT/ΔSTAT uterus showed no signs of implantation. In contrast, the developing embryo is surrounded by stromal cells forming the secondary decidua (white arrow) beneath the epithelial lining (black arrowhead) of the gp130ΔSTAT/wt uterus. (B) Tyrosine phosphorylation (pY) of STAT3 immunoprecipitates prepared from liver of gp130ΔSTAT/wt control and gp130ΔSTAT/ΔSTAT mutant mice 20 min after a single intraperitoneal injection of 5 μg of IL-6 6, IL-11 11, LIF (L), or saline (s). The membranes were reprobed for STAT3 to assess equality of protein loading. Note occasional appearance of a nonspecific band above STAT3. (C) Steady-state levels of mRNA for hepatic type I acute phase proteins extracted from livers of mice as in B. 3 μg of poly(A)+ RNA were hybridized with radiolabeled full length cDNAs encoding human serum amyloid A (SAA) or haptoglobin (Ha-globin). Ethidium bromide (EtBr) stain of the gels revealed similar amounts of RNA analyzed. (D) Tyrosine phosphorylation (pY) of STAT3 immunoprecipitates prepared from uteri of mice treated as in B. The membranes were reprobed for STAT3 to assess equality of protein loading.

Figure 5 Histological assessment of joint disease in gp130ΔSTAT/ΔSTAT mice. Sagittal sections of knees of age-matched 71-d-old gp130ΔSTAT/wt control (a) and gp130ΔSTAT/ΔSTAT mutant mice (b). The section of the mutant knee shows enlargement of the synovial space (*), synovial hyperplasia and pannus formation (black arrowhead), cartilaginous overgrowth in the menicsi (white arrowhead), and destruction and deformation of the articular surfaces. Note that the cartilaginous metaplasia on the head of the femur (arrow) is associated with alterations of the growth plate. The shoulder (c) joint of gp130ΔSTAT/ΔSTAT mouse illustrates the early stage manifested as enlargement of the synovial space (*), prominent synovial hyperplasia (arrowheads), exuberant pannus formation with early cartilaginous metaplasia (arrows) but little destruction of the articular surface. A high magnification (d) of the area boxed in c shows synovial hyperplasia in the recess of the cavity of the shoulder joint. The metaplastic cartilage deposits within the synovial cavity (e) contain disorganized clusters of chondrocytes (arrowhead) which occupy lacunae within the matrix and contrast the organized appearance of smaller chondrocytes in “columns” in normal articular cartilage (arrow); Safranin-O and Alcian Blue stain proteoglycan red and mineralized matrix blue, respectively. Frontal sections through knees from 180-d-old gp130Δ/wt (f) and gp130Δ/Δ mice (g) document the expanded synovial space (*), destruction, and erosion of the articular cartilage (aC arrowhead). aC, articular cartilage; F, femur; H, humerus; M, meniscus; S, scapula; T, tibia.

Figure 6 Hyperresponsiveness of synovial cells correlates with sustained Erk MAPK activation. (A) [3H]thymidine incorporation by synovial cells prepared from wt and gp130ΔSTAT/ΔSTAT mice and stimulated with LIF or IL-6. Cells derived from clinically unaffected joints were stimulated for 24 h with the indicated concentration of LIF or IL-6 in the presence of sIL-6R (500 ng/ml). Each point represents the mean ± SD. *P < 0.05 compared with unstimulated cultures of the same genotype. (B) Activation of intermediate signaling molecules in synovial cells stimulated with IL-6 and sIL-6R (both at 500 ng/ml) for the indicated period of time. Cell lysates were immunoprecipitated with either a Jak-2 antiserum and incubated with γ-[32P]ATP to assess Jak-2 autophosphorylation, or with a SHP-2 antiserum and blotted with antiphosphotyrosine antibodies. Erk MAPK activation was analyzed by directly probing lysates with an antibody specific for phospho-Erk1/2 (Erk-P). The total amount of SHP-2 and Erk proteins was assessed by reprobing the membranes for SHP-2 and Erk1/2, respectively.

Luciferase activity was normalized by reference to β-galactosidase activity and is expressed as fold induction over unstimulated cultures. The level of SOCS-1Flag protein was assessed at the end of the experiment by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting using anti-Flag antibodies. Each point represents the mean ± SD.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
