A novel type II membrane receptor up-regulated by IFN-alpha in fibroblasts functions in cell proliferation through the JAK-STAT signalling pathway.
A type II membrane protein similar to CD69 (TIIMPSC) has been isolated in human embryo fibroblasts treated with IFN-alpha. Structural analysis and immunofluorescence detection has suggested that this protein is located on the surface of fibroblasts, generally considered, a receptor. Cell proliferation assay has revealed that activation of TIIMPSC elevates the level of fibroblast proliferation. Further, examination of signal transduction has indicated that expression of this protein is up-regulated by IFN-alpha stimulation, and that it is involved in the regulation of fibroblast growth through the JAK-STAT signalling pathway.
