Cytokines, such as interleukin-2 (IL-2), activate intracellular
signaling pathways via rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of their receptors, resulting in the activation of many genes involved in cell
growth and survival. The deubiquitinating enzyme DUB-2 is induced in
response to IL-2 but as yet its function has not been determined. The
results of this study show that DUB-2 is expressed in human T-cell
lymphotropic virus-I(HTLV-1)-transformed T cells that exhibit
constitutive activation of the IL-2 JAK/STAT (signal transducers and
activators of transcription) pathway, and when expressed in Ba/F3 cells
DUB-2 markedly prolonged IL-2-induced STAT5 phosphorylation. Although
DUB-2 did not enhance IL-2-mediated proliferation, when withdrawn from
growth factor, cells expressing DUB-2 had sustained STAT5
phosphorylation and enhanced expression of IL-2-induced genes
cis and c-myc. Moreover,
DUB-2 expression markedly inhibited apoptosis induced by cytokine
withdrawal allowing cells to survive. Taken together these data suggest
that DUB-2 can enhance signaling through the JAK/STAT pathway, prolong
lymphocyte survival, and, when constitutively expressed, may contribute
to the activation of the JAK/STAT pathway observed in some transformed cells.
