title: Interleukin-3 activates Syk in a human myeloblastic leukemia cell line, AML193.
abstract: Protein-tyrosine kinases and phosphatases play an important role in cytokine-mediated cell growth. The proliferation of a human myeloid leukemia cell line, AML193, is dependent on interleukin-3 (IL-3) or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. In the current study, we demonstrated that a non-receptor-type protein-tyrosine kinase, Syk, was immediately activated by the stimulation with IL-3 or granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in AML193 cells. We further investigated the relation of Syk with IL-3-mediated signaling and found that the IL-3 receptor beta subunit was immunoprecipitated with Syk. Since the IL-3 receptor beta subunit is known to mediate growth signaling, our results indicate that Syk may be involved in the proliferation of myeloid cells.
