Scott, Lorraine Robb, Bette Papaevangeliou, Rachel Mansfield, Nicos A. Nicola, and C. Glenn Begley From The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, The Cooperative Research Centre for Cellular Growth Factors, and the Rotary Bone Marrow Research Laboratories Factors, PO Royal Melbourne Hospital, Victoria, Australia. Mice lacking both the gene encoding the shared receptor for granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3), and IL-5 common -chain (Bc) and the gene for the IL-3 specific receptor (BIL3) were generated. This was achieved by targeting the Bc locus in embryonic stem cells that were heterozygous for a null mutation of BIL3. Cells from mice generated with the doubly targeted embryonic stem cells were unresponsive to all 3 cytokines. Considerable previous data suggested a role for common beta-chain (c) in modulating signaling of cytokines including erythropoietin (EPO), G-CSF, and stem cell factor (SCF). However, bone marrow cells from mice lacking c and IL3 showed normal responsiveness to these cytokines. Thus, there was no evidence for a biologically significant interaction between signaling via c or IL3 and signaling by EPO, G-CSF, or SCF. Previously documented biochemical phenomena, including receptor transmodulation, receptor transphosphorylation, and even direct physical interaction, involving the c/IL-3 receptor systems do not reflect genuine interactions of physiological significance in primary hematopoietic cells. This study provided results that challenge conclusions previously established using a variety of biochemical assays. © 2000 by The American Society of Hematology.   CiteULike    Connotea    Del.icio.us    Digg    Reddit    Technorati    What's this?
