Disease relevance of SOCS6

 

Psychiatry related information on SOCS6

  • Somatoform autonomic dysfunction, a diagnostic category proposed by ICD-10, included fewer patients diagnosed with somatization disorder than the criteria of Escobar and colleagues for abridged somatization disorder (SSI-4/6: this Journal 177:140-146, 1989) [4].
  • In-depth explorations, including problem solving and projection to the future, occurred 2.59 times in interviews alone (CI 3.62-1.56) and 0.794 times in CIRs (CI 1.12-0.46) (p <.001) [5].
 

High impact information on SOCS6

  • The crystal structure of an NH2-terminal conserved domain (N-domain) comprising the first 123 residues of STAT-4 was determined at 1.45 angstroms [6].
  • Three exons overlap with ING2 (a putative tumor suppressor) and with a homologue of CIS4 (cytokine-inducible SH2 protein 4), both of which are encoded by the opposite strand [7].
  • IL12 phosphorylation of STAT4 can be observed in HUVEC that have been transduced to express the IL12R [8].
  • STAT4 signaling, activated by either interleukin 12 (IL12) or interferon alpha (IFNalpha), promotes T(H)1 responses in CD4(+) T cells [8].
  • Interferon alpha but not interleukin 12 activates STAT4 signaling in human vascular endothelial cells [8].
 

Biological context of SOCS6

 

Anatomical context of SOCS6

  • The increased SOCS6 stability and Erk activation by PMA were both conserved in another cell line, MCF7 [9].
  • Cultured human umbilical vein EC (HUVEC) express low levels of STAT4, which may be tyrosine-phosphorylated by treatment with IFNalpha but not IL12 [8].
  • Th2 cells remained responsive to IL-12, which repressed STAT6 DNA binding and activated STAT4, and switched the cells to Th1 [12].
  • In Th1 cells, IL-12 activated both STAT6 and STAT4, and IL-4 activated STAT6, but in both cases the Th1 phenotype remained [12].
  • The number of CD4+, CD8+ cells and macrophages expressing nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB), STAT-4 and IFN-gamma proteins as well as endothelial adhesion molecule-1 in endothelium is increased in mild/moderate disease [13].
 

Associations of SOCS6 with chemical compounds

  • We confirmed that IL-2-mediated signaling involves activation by phosphorylation of Jak2 tyrosine kinase and subsequently STAT4 [11].
  • They also reveal the existence of sperm specific mRNAs coding for the transcription factor Stat 4, the cyclin B1 and for the testicular isozyme of the angiotensin converting enzyme ACE [14].
 

Other interactions of SOCS6

  • However, Th2 cells remained responsive to IL-12, which repressed STAT6 DNA binding but activated STAT4, and this coincided with a suppression of IL-4/IL-5 and an induction of IFN-gamma [12].
  • Atopic T cells expressed regular levels of CD3, CD28 and Stat4, the main signal transducer and activator of transcription for IL-12 [15].
  • The transcription factor STAT4 binds the TTCCAATAA motif within this responsive element and, therefore, is probably involved in enhancing c-myc transcription upon IL-2 stimulation [11].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of SOCS6

  • STAT4 (signal transducer and activator of transcription-4) mediates biological effects in response to interleukin-12 (IL-12) [10].
  • The aim of the present study was to evaluate the genetic status of three novel putative tumor suppressors, Cadh-7, DNAX accessory molecule-1 (Dnam-1) and suppressor of cytokine signaling (Socs6) on chromosome 18q and to correlate molecular results with patient survival and benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy [1].
