High impact information on Socs2

  • The expression of the suppressor of cytokine signaling-2 (SOCS-2) was increased twofold in GH-treated CRF animals, and SOCS-3 mRNA levels were elevated by 60% in CRF, independent of GH treatment [1].
  • Our findings suggest that SOCS2 regulates EGFR phosphorylation, leading to regulation of neurite outgrowth through a novel pathway that is distinct from GH [2].
  • SOCS2 binds to the GH receptor and inhibits GH signaling, including attenuation of STAT5 activation [2].
  • The overexpressed SOCS2 bound to the EGFR, which was constitutively phosphorylated at Tyr845, the Src binding site [2].
  • SOCS2 expression also resulted in a modest 30% decrease in phosphorylation of STAT5b at Tyr699, which is the primary site on STAT5 phosphorylated by GH; however, total tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT5 was decreased by 75-80% under basal and epidermal growth factor-stimulated conditions [2].
