摘要
Exposure of B-lineage lymphoid cells to ionizing radiation induces an elevation of c-jun proto-oncogene mRNA levels. This signal is abrogated by protein-tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitors, indicating that activation of an as yet unidentified PTK is mandatory for radiation-induced c-jun expression. Here, we provide experimental evidence that the cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases BTK, SYK, and LYN are not required for this signal. Lymphoma B-cells rendered deficient for LYN, SYK, or both by targeted gene disruption showed increased c-jun expression levels after radiation exposure, but the magnitude of the stimulation was lower than in wild-type cells. Thus, these PTKs may participate in the generation of an optimal signal. Notably, an inhibitor of JAK-3 (Janus family kinase-3) abrogated radiation-induced c-jun activation, prompting the hypothesis that a chicken homologue of JAK-3 may play a key role in initiation of the radiation-induced c-jun signal in B-lineage lymphoid cells.
