title: Oncostatin M induces tissue-type plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 in Calu-1 lung carcinoma cells.
abstract: Oncostatin M (OSM) is a glycoprotein cytokine that is produced by activated T-lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages. In a DNA synthesis assay, OSM reduced tritiated thymidine incorporation by 53% in Calu-1 lung carcinoma cells. Radiolabeled cDNAs from untreated Calu-1 cells and 30-h OSM-treated cells were used to probe duplicate nylon membrane cDNA expression arrays. This study revealed OSM-mediated expression of mRNAs encoding tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). Northern blot analysis showed that the steady-state level of tPA mRNA is nearly undetectable in Calu-1 cells. Exposure of these cells to OSM for 30 h increased tPA mRNA expression by 20-fold and PAI-1 mRNA expression by 5-fold. Exposure of these cells to other gp130 receptor family cytokines, including leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and IL-11, do not significantly affect DNA synthesis or induction of tPA/PAI-1. Western blot studies demonstrated that OSM mediates a marked increase in secretion of the tPA protein. Secreted tPA was present in the conditioned medium almost exclusively as tPA/PAI-1 complexes. Inhibitor studies demonstrated that OSM-mediated induction of tPA and PAI-1 mRNAs is largely dependent upon activation of the MEK1/2 pathway. The JAK3/STAT3 pathway potentially serves a secondary role in these regulatory events.
