ABSTRACT |
Growth hormone (GH) and
prolactin (PRL) binding to their receptors, which belong to the
cytokine receptor superfamily, activate Janus kinase (JAK) 2 tyrosine
kinase, thereby leading to their biological actions. We recently showed
that GH mainly stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of epidermal growth
factor receptor and its association with Grb2, and concomitantly
stimulated mitogen-activated protein kinase activity in liver, a major
target tissue. Using specific antibodies, we now show that GH was also
able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate
(IRS)-1/IRS-2 in liver. In addition, the major tyrosine-phosphorylated
protein in anti-p85 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase)
immunoprecipitate from liver of wild-type mice was IRS-1, and IRS-2 in
IRS-1 deficient mice, but not epidermal growth factor receptor. These
data suggest that tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 may be a major
mechanism for GH-induced PI3-kinase activation in physiological target
organ of GH, liver. We also show that PRL was able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of both IRS-1 and IRS-2 in COS cells transiently transfected with PRLR and in CHO-PRLR cells. Moreover, we show that
tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-3 was induced by both GH and PRL in COS
cells transiently transfected with IRS-3 and their cognate receptors.
By using the JAK2-deficient cell lines or by expressing a
dominant negative JAK2 mutant, we show that JAK2 is required for the
GH- and PRL-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1,
-2, and -3. Finally, a specific PI3-kinase inhibitor, wortmannin,
completely blocked the anti-lipolytic effect of GH in 3T3 L1
adipocytes. Taken together, the role of IRS-1, -2, and -3 in GH and PRL
signalings appears to be phosphorylated by JAK2, thereby providing
docking sites for p85 PI3-kinase and activating PI3-kinase and its
downstream biological effects.

INTRODUCTION |
Growth hormone (GH)1 and
prolactin (PRL) initiate their wide variety of biological effects by
binding and dimerization of their membrane receptors (1, 2). The GH and
PRL receptors belong to the cytokine/hematopoietin receptor
superfamily, characterized by homologies in the extracellular domains
and lack of intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity (1), however, ligands
binding to their receptors activate JAK2 tyrosine kinase (3, 4). JAK2
tyrosine phosphorylates their receptors and JAK2 itself along with
STATs (signal transducers and activators of transcription). The
phosphorylated STAT proteins translocate into the nucleus and bind to
DNA, thereby activating transcription of specific genes (5). In
addition, a number of intracellular key proteins have been suggested to be involved in their signaling (6).
One of the signaling molecules known to be activated by GH and PRL (7,
8) is the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase), which is
believed to play a pivotal role in the regulation of cellular growth
and differentiation (9). Association of tyrosine-phosphorylated
proteins with Grb2 (growth factor receptor bound protein 2) is known to
represent a crucial step in the activation of MAP kinase cascade (10).
In the case of GH and PRL, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and
Shc have been shown to be tyrosyl phosphorylated by JAK2 and bind Grb2,
leading to MAP kinase activation (11, 12).
Another signaling molecule known to be activated by GH and PRL is
phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), which may play a role in
initiating insulin-like effects of GH and PRL including glucose
transport, glycogenesis, anti-lipolysis, and lipogenesis (13-15),
because the selective PI3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin can block at
least some of these effects such as anti-lipolysis and lipogenesis
(16).
Insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) is the principal substrate of the
insulin receptor kinase whose molecular mass is approximately 170 kDa
and has many tyrosine phosphorylation sites (17), which provides
binding sites for several distinct Src homology 2 (SH2) proteins
(e.g. Grb2, the 85-kDa subunit of PI3-kinase (PI3-kinase p85), Syp, Nck, and Csk) and has been shown to mediate multiple signaling pathways (18, 19). IRS-1 binds the PI3-kinase p85 when
tyrosine phosphorylated, thereby activating PI3-kinase (20, 21),
leading to exert metabolic effects of insulin such as glucose transport, glycogen synthesis, and anti-lipolysis (22-24).
To better understand the role of IRS-1 in vivo, we and
others generated mice with a targeted disruption of the IRS-1 gene and
demonstrated that they exhibited mild growth retardation and had
partial resistance to the glucose-lowering effect of insulin, which was
an unexpectedly mild phenotype, suggesting the presence of IRS-1
independent pathways (25, 26). In liver and also muscle extracts from
IRS-1-deficient mice, tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-2, whose
molecular mass is approximately 180 kDa (25, 27, 28), was significantly
induced in IRS-1-deficient mice compared with that in wild-type mice
(29) and has been suggested to be the mechanism of compensation for
IRS-1 deficiency in liver and muscle (30, 31). In another target tissue
of insulin, adipocytes, both IRS-1 and IRS-3 (pp60) (32, 33) was
suggested to play a major role in insulin-induced PI3-kinase
activation, and IRS-3 (pp60) was suggested to be involved in regulating
this process in the absence of IRS-1 (34).
Recently, IRS-1/IRS-2 have been shown to be tyrosine-phosphorylated and
associated with PI3-kinase p85 in response to GH in primary rat
adipocytes (35, 36) and in 3T3-F442A fibroblasts (37, 38). However, the
following important issues remained unresolved. First, whether GH was
able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2 in physiological
target organ, liver, in vivo. Second, the relative
contributions of IRS-1 and IRS-2 in the signaling pathways for GH to
activate PI3-kinase. Third, the identity of the kinase responsible for
the GH-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS proteins. Fourth,
whether additional cytokine receptor superfamily/IRS proteins signaling
pathways could also operate. Using specific antibodies, we show here
that GH was able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2, and
that tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 may be a major mechanism for
GH-induced PI3-kinase activation in physiological target organ, liver,
using IRS-1-deficient mice. Finally, by using the JAK2-deficient cell
lines or by expressing a dominant negative JAK2 mutant, we show that
JAK2 is required for the GH- and PRL-dependent tyrosine
phosphorylation of IRS-1, -2, and -3, their association with p85
PI3-kinase and activation of PI3-kinase. Taken together, the role of
IRS-1, -2, and -3 in GH and PRL signalings is to be phosphorylated by
JAK2, thereby providing docking sites for p85 PI3-kinase and activating
PI3-kinase. A specific PI3-kinase inhibitor, wortmannin, completely
blocked the anti-lipolytic effect of GH in 3T3 L1 adipocytes, as
reported in isolated rat adipocytes (16). Thus our data may provide the biochemical fundamentals to understand the insulin-like effects of GH
such as anti-lipolysis.

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES |
Materials and Mice--
The polyclonal antibody against 85-kDa
subunit of PI3-kinase was from Upstate Biotechnology Inc. The
monoclonal antibody against hemagglutinin (HA), 12CA5, was from
Boehringer Mannheim. All other materials were obtained from the sources
described (12, 31). Mice were fasted overnight and then treated as
described (31).
Expression of Wild-type and Kinase-inactive JAK2, Epitope-tagged
IRS-3, GHR, and PRLR--
The CHO (Chinese hamster ovary)-PRLR cells
(approximately 1.0 × 104 receptors/cell) and
expression vector of human PRLR were kindly provided by M. Takahashi,
M. Wada, and M. Honjo. 2A/GHR (39), CHO-GHR, or CHO-PRLR cells were
transfected with or without 3 µg of WT-JAK2 plasmids or dominant
negative JAK2 ( JAK2) (40) that lacks the C terminus kinase domain
under the SR promoter in 6-cm dishes by the LipofectAMINE method
with modification and the cells were stimulated as described (12, 39,
41). The rat IRS-3 cDNA in the pcDNA3 was modified to encode an
additional 9-amino acid HA epitope (YPYDVPDYA), after the C terminus of
IRS-3 via a recombinant polymerase chain reaction strategy (33). COS cells were transfected with 3 µg of GHR or PRLR, with or without HA-tagged IRS-3 and with or without 2 µg of WT-JAK2 or JAK2 at 60-80% confluence in 3 ml of Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium in
6-cm dishes by the calcium phosphate precipitation method and the cells
were stimulated as described (12).
Immunoprecipitation, Immunoblotting, and PI3-kinase
Activities--
Immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting were performed
as described (31). The amount of tyrosine phosphorylation or associated protein was evaluated by densitometry, as described (31). The significance of differences between the two groups was assessed using
Student's unpaired t test.
Lipolysis--
3T3-L1 adipocytes were incubated in serum-free
Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium for 16 h, and then in
modified Krebs-Ringer medium at pH 7.5 containing 24 mM
HEPES, 119 mM NaCl, 4.95 mM KCl, 2.54 mM CaCl2, 1.19 mM
KH2PO4, 1.19 mM MgSO4,
2 mM glucose for 3 h. Lipolysis, stimulated by
norepinephrine (NE) (Sigma), was measured with or without pretreatment
with 100 nM wortmannin for 20 min, as proportional to
glycerol released to the medium during a 30-min incubation and
determined as described (16).

RESULTS |
GH Stimulates Tyrosine Phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2 in Liver, in
Vivo--
To determine if IRS-1 and/or IRS-2 are
tyrosine-phosphorylated following stimulation with GH in its
physiological target organ, liver, in vivo, mice were
injected with 5 µg/g body weight of GH and 7.5 min after the
injection, solubilized proteins from livers of wild-type and IRS-1
deficient mice were immunoprecipitated with anti-IRS-1 antibody
( IRS-1) or anti-IRS-2 antibody ( IRS-2), and immunoblotted with
PY. IRS-1 (molecular mass 170 kDa) was tyrosine phosphorylated in
response to GH in wild-type mice (Fig. 1A, lane 3),
however, to a much lesser degree than in response to insulin (Fig.
1A, lane 2). IRS-2 was tyrosine phosphorylated in response
to GH most in IRS-1 deficient mice (Fig. 1B, lane 6),
however, to a much lesser degree than in response to insulin (Fig.
1B, lane 5). GH-dependent tyrosine
phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2 reached the maximum level at 7.5 min
(data not shown).

in the immunoprecipitates with the monoclonal antibody against
phosphotyrosine (4G10). 7.5 min after GH injection and 2 min after
insulin injection, maximal levels in kinase activity were reached (data
not shown). In liver of both wild-type and IRS-1-deficient mice,
insulin injection resulted in a 12-13-fold increase in PI-3 kinase
activity in 4G10 immunoprecipitates, while GH caused an only 2-3-fold
increase (Fig. 2).

Immunological Detection of GH-stimulated Tyrosine-phosphorylated
Proteins Associated with PI3-kinase p85--
The molecular mechanism
by which GH activates PI3-kinase were determined by immunoblotting with
the monoclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (4G10) of anti-PI3-kinase
p85 immunoprecipitates of livers 7.5 min after GH injection and 2 min
after insulin injection. Interestingly, while the 180-kDa protein was
mainly tyrosine phosphorylated and associated with Grb2 in wild-type
mice when injected with GH (12), in p85 immunoprecipitates of
GH-injected wild-type mice, a 170-kDa tyrosine-phosphorylated protein
was mainly present (Fig. 3A, lane
4), indicating that tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, but neither
IRS-2 nor EGFR, may be a major mechanism for GH-induced PI3-kinase
activation in physiological target organ, liver. In wild-type mice, the
amount of pp170 associated with PI3-kinase p85 in response to GH was
much less than that in response to insulin, which was consistent with
that the GH-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 was much less
than that stimulated with insulin (Fig. 1A, lanes 2 and 3). To confirm these observations, liver extracts
of GH-treated wild-type mice for 7.5 min were incubated with the
glutathione S-transferase fusion proteins containing the
entire p85 PI3-kinase. Glutathione S-transferase-p85 only associated with pp170 (IRS-1) (data not shown). In IRS-1-deficient mice, the amount of pp180 (IRS-2) associated with PI3-kinase p85 in
response to GH was also much less than that in response to insulin
(Fig. 3A, lanes 5 and 6).

|
To further confirm these observations, we measured PI3-kinase activity
in the immunoprecipitates with the polyclonal anti-IRS-1 antibody
( IRS-1) or anti-IRS-2 antibody ( IRS-2 (179C)). In liver of
wild-type mice, insulin injection resulted in a 11-fold increase of
PI-3 kinase activity in IRS-1 immunoprecipitates, while GH caused
only a 2-3-fold increase (Fig. 3B, lanes 2 and
3), which was consistent with the data of the amount of PI3-kinase
p85-associated pp170 (IRS-1) (Fig. 3A, lanes 3 and
4). In IRS-2 immunoprecipitates from liver of wild-type mice,
however, GH had little effect on an increase in PI3-kinase, and in
IRS-1 deficient mice, GH caused only a 2-3-fold increase (Fig.
3C, lanes 2 and 4), which was also consistent
with the data of the amount of pp180 (IRS-2) associated with PI3-kinase
p85 (Fig. 3A, lanes 4 and 6).
Complementation with a WT-JAK2 Expression Plasmid into
JAK2-deficient Cell Line Restored GH-dependent Tyrosine
Phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2, Their Association with p85 PI3-kinase,
and Activation of PI3-kinase--
We next examined whether GH-induced
tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2, IRS-1 association with p85
PI3-kinase, and PI3-kinase activation are dependent on JAK2 by using
2A/GHR cells, which lack JAK2 (39). GH was unable to induce these
responses in 2A/GHR, whereas complementation with a WT-JAK2
expression plasmid restored them (Fig.
4). These data suggested that JAK2 is
required for the GH-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of
IRS-1 and -2, their association with p85 PI3-kinase, and activation of
PI3-kinase.

PRL Was Also Able to Induce Tyrosine Phosphorylation of
IRS-2--
Recently, IRS-1 also has been shown to be tyrosine
phosphorylated in response to another cytokine superfamily member PRL
in 293-PRL receptor cells (42). Thus we next examined whether PRL was
able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-2 by immunoblotting with
the monoclonal anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (4G10) of anti-IRS-2 immunoprecipitates of COS cells transiently transfected with PRLR and
CHO-PRLR cells treated with PRL for 5 min. We found that PRL was also
able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-2 (Fig. 5D, lane 2, and Fig.
6C, lane 6).

Complementation with a WT-JAK2 Expression Plasmid into
JAK2-deficient Cell Line Restored PRL-dependent Tyrosine
Phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2, Their Association with p85 PI3-kinase,
and Activation of PI3-kinase--
We also examined whether PRL-induced
tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2, IRS-1 association with p85
PI3-kinase, and PI3-kinase activation are dependent on JAK2 by using
COS cells, in which the level of expression of JAK2 appears to be
sufficiently low that some level of coexpression of wild-type (WT)-JAK2
and PRLR is required in order to detect activation of JAK2 by PRL (Fig. 5A). Neither expression of PRLR alone nor coexpression of
kinase-inactive JAK2 ( JAK2) and PRLR, but coexpression of WT-JAK2
and PRLR restored these responses (Fig. 5B, C, D, and
E, and data not shown). These data suggested that JAK2 is required
for the PRL-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and
-2, their association with p85 PI3-kinase and activation of
PI3-kinase.
Dominant Negative JAK2 Almost Completely Abolished GH- and
PRL-dependent Tyrosine Phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2,
Their Association with p85 PI3-kinase, and Activation of
PI3-kinase--
We also used a dominant negative JAK2 mutant, since
the possibility of overestimation of the complemented molecule (JAK2) cannot be excluded in the above experiment. Expression of JAK2, which inhibits autophosphorylation of WT-JAK2 in a dominant negative manner (40), almost completely abolished the GH- and PRL-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2, IRS-1 association with p85
PI3-kinase, and activation of PI3-kinase in CHO cells expressing their
cognate receptors (Fig. 6 and data not shown). These data suggested
that the GH- and PRL-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2,
IRS-1 association with p85 PI3-kinase, and activation of PI3-kinase are
largely dependent on JAK2.
GH and PRL Were Also Able to Induce Tyrosine Phosphorylation of
IRS-3 and Its Association with p85 PI3-kinase via JAK2--
Not only
IRS-1 but also pp60 was shown to play a major role in insulin-induced
activation of PI3-kinase in adipocytes (34). Recently, Lavan et
al. (33) reported the isolation of the cDNA of pp60 which was
designated as IRS-3. Thus we next examined whether GH and PRL were able
to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-3 and its association with
p85 PI3-kinase via JAK2 in COS cells transiently transfected with
HA-tagged IRS-3 treated with GH or PRL for 5 min. We found that both GH
and PRL were also able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-3 and
its association with p85 PI3-kinase via JAK2 (Fig.
7, A and B).

GH Effect on Anti-lipolysis Is Dependent on PI3-kinase--
To
study whether GH stimulation of PI3-kinase is linked to GH-induced
insulin-like metabolic effect, GH-stimulated anti-lipolysis was
measured with pretreatment with a specific PI3-kinase inhibitor, wortmannin. The anti-lipolytic effect of GH was measured as the ability
to counteract lipolysis induced by NE at 100 nM in 3T3 L1
adipocytes. GH (0.5 µg/ml) inhibited lipolysis by 60 ± 10% (mean ± S.E., n = 3, p < 0.05),
and wortmannin completely blocked this anti-lipolytic effect, as
reported in isolated rat adipocytes (16). These data suggested that
PI3-kinase activity was indeed required for anti-lipolysis in response
to GH.

DISCUSSION |
GH Stimulates Tyrosine Phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2 in Liver, in
Vivo--
We recently showed that GH mainly stimulated tyrosine
phosphorylation of EGFR and its association with Grb2, and
concomitantly stimulated MAP kinase activity in liver, a major target
tissue (12). Using specific antibodies, we provided the first evidence that GH was also able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2 in physiological target organ, liver, in vivo, although to a
lesser extent as compared with that stimulated with insulin or tyrosine phosphorylation of EGFR stimulated with GH (Fig. 1 and Ref. 12). The
degree of GH-stimulated activation of MAP kinase and PI3-kinase appeared to be correlated with the relative amount of GH-stimulated tyrosine-phosphorylated EGFR and IRS-1, respectively (Figs. 1 and 2 and
Ref. 12).
Tyrosine Phosphorylation of IRS-1, but Neither IRS-2 nor EGFR, May
Be a Major Mechanism for GH-induced PI3-kinase Activation in
Physiological Target Organ, Liver--
IRS-2 couple more
sensitively to the IL-4 receptor system and less to the insulin
receptor system than IRS-1 (28). In the case of the insulin receptor
system, the degree of compensation for IRS-1 deficiency appears to be
correlated with the relative amount of tyrosine-phosphorylated IRS-2
(in IRS-1 deficient mice) to that of IRS-1 (in wild-type mice) (31).
Recently, using specific antibodies, IRS-1/IRS-2 have been shown to be
associated with PI3-kinase p85 in response to GH in primary rat
adipocytes (35, 36) and in 3T3-F442A fibroblasts (37, 38). There has
been no study, however, which reported the relative contributions of IRS-1 and IRS-2 in the signaling pathways for GH to activate
PI3-kinase. Interestingly, although EGFR was mainly tyrosine
phosphorylated and associated with Grb2 when injected with GH (12), the
major tyrosine-phosphorylated protein in anti-p85 PI3-kinase
immunoprecipitate from liver of wild-type mice was IRS-1, and IRS-2 in
IRS-1-deficient mice (Fig. 3 A) but not EGFR. Thus we
provided the evidence that tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, but
neither IRS-2 nor EGFR, may be a major mechanism for GH-induced
PI3-kinase activation in physiological target organ, liver, in
vivo. The observations that GH had little effect on an increase in
PI3-kinase activity in IRS-2 immunoprecipitates from wild-type mice,
while GH caused a 2-3-fold increase in IRS-1-deficient mice (Fig.
3C) may support the central role of IRS-1 in the control of
PI3-kinase activation by GH.
Additional Cytokine Receptor Superfamily/IRS Proteins Signaling
Pathways--
Recently, PRL has been shown to be able to tyrosine
phosphorylate IRS-1 in 293-PRLR cells (42). We show in this study for the first time that PRL was also able to induce tyrosine
phosphorylation of IRS-2 in COS cells transiently transfected with PRLR
(Fig. 5D, lane 2) and in CHO-PRLR cells (Fig. 6C, lane
6). In addition to IRS-1, pp60/IRS-3 also has been shown to play a
major role in insulin-induced activation of PI3-kinase in adipocytes
(34). In the present study, we also show that both GH and PRL were able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-3 and its association with
p85 PI3-kinase (Fig. 7). This is the first evidence that IRS-3 can be
tyrosine phosphorylated by other tyrosine kinase(s) other than insulin
receptor tyrosine kinase.
The GH- and PRL-induced Tyrosine Phosphorylation of IRS-1, -2, and
-3, Their Association with p85 PI3-kinase, and Activation of PI3-kinase
Are Largely Dependent on JAK2--
There has been no study reporting
the identity of the kinase responsible for GH-induced tyrosine
phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2, although Argetsinger et al.
(37, 38) reported that the regions of GHR necessary for IRS-1/IRS-2
tyrosyl phosphorylation were present between amino acids 295 and 380 containing box 1 and box 2, the same as those required for JAK2
association and tyrosyl phosphorylation. By using the JAK2-deficient
cell lines or expressing a dominant negative JAK2 mutant, we provided
the first direct evidence that JAK2 is required for the GH- and
PRL-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, -2, and
-3, their association with p85 PI3-kinase, and activation of PI3-kinase
(Figs. 4-7). Tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 induced by insulin,
insulin-like growth factor-I, and interleukin-4 appears to require
interaction between the phosphotyrosine-binding domain of IRS-1 and the
tyrosine-phosphorylated NPXY motif in the ligand receptor (43-45). GHR
and JAK2, however, do not contain NPXY motifs (46, 47). This may
explain, at least in part, why GH was able to induce tyrosine
phosphorylation of IRS-1/IRS-2, their association with p85 PI3-kinase,
and activation of PI3-kinase, however, to a lesser extent as compared
with that stimulated with insulin. The domains required for
interactions between cytokine superfamily-JAK complexes and IRS
proteins are now under investigation.
JAK/IRS Family and JAK/EGFR Pathways for Cytokine Receptor
Superfamily--
An essential role of JAK/STAT pathways is now
established for cytokine receptor superfamily (5). The roles of JAKs in
the activation of additional pathways, however, have been less well established. Burfoot et al. (5) reported that tyrosine
phosphorylation of IRS-1 mediated by the Type I interferons is
dependent on JAK1 and TYK2, and by interleukin 4 and oncostatin M is
largely JAK1-dependent, by complementation with JAK into
mutant cell lines lacking JAK (41). The possibility of overestimation
of the complemented molecule, however, cannot be excluded. Thus we also
used a dominant negative JAK2 mutant. Expression of dominant negative
JAK2 almost completely abolished GH- and PRL-induced tyrosine
phosphorylation of IRS-1 and -2, their association with p85 PI3-kinase
and activation of PI3-kinase (Fig. 6), indicating that these responses
are largely dependent on JAK2. Together with others (12, 41)
observations, our findings using a dominant negative molecule provide
the paradigm of JAK/IRS family and JAK/EGFR pathways for cytokine
receptor superfamily. STAT specificity might be determined not by each JAK but in concert with the cytoplasmic structure of the particular receptor with which it is associated. In the case of IRS family, for
example, tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, but not IRS-2, is dependent
on JAK1 and Tyk2 for the  -interferons, while neither IRS-1 nor
IRS-2 was detectably tyrosine phosphorylated by interferon- , which
was able to activate JAK1 and JAK2 (41). Furthermore, we showed that
GH- and PRL-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, -2, and -3 are
largely dependent on JAK2 (Figs. 4-7). Thus like STAT specificity, IRS
specificity might be determined not by each JAK but by each
receptor.
The Role of PI3-kinase in Mediating Insulin-like Effects of
GH--
PI3-kinase has been reported not to be required for glucose
uptake stimulated by GH (48). GH-induced anti-lipolysis and lipogenesis, however, have been shown to be
PI3-kinase-dependent in isolated rat adipocytes (16). We
also showed that a specific PI3-kinase inhibitor, wortmannin,
completely blocked the anti-lipolytic effect of GH in 3T3 L1 adipocytes
(Fig. 8). Thus PI3-kinase may play an
important role in initiating at least some insulin-like effects of GH,
such as anti-lipolysis and lipogenesis.

Fig. 8.
Effect of wortmannin on the anti-lipolytic
effect of GH. 3T3-L1 adipocytes were preincubated in the absence
or presence of 100 nM wortmannin for 20 min. The cells were
subsequently exposed to norepinephrine (NE, 100 nM) alone
or NE (100 nM) together with GH (500 ng ml 1)
and lipolysis was assayed as described under "Experimental
Procedures." Each bar represents the mean ± S.E. of
three independent experiments. (*, p < 0.05, NE
together with GH-treated cells without pretreatment with wortmannin
versus NE together with GH-treated cells with pretreatment
with wortmannin or NE-treated cells without pretreatment with
wortmannin.)

In conclusion, 1) GH is able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of
IRS-1/IRS-2 in physiological target organ, liver, in vivo; 2) tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1, but neither IRS-2 nor EGFR, may
be a major mechanism for GH-induced PI3-kinase activation in liver; 3)
PRL is able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-2 in COS cells
transiently transfected with PRLR and in CHO-PRLR cells; 4) both GH and
PRL are able to induce tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-3 and its
association with p85 PI3-kinase; 5) the GH-and PRL-induced tyrosine
phosphorylation of IRS-1, -2, and -3, their association with p85
PI3-kinase, and activation of PI3-kinase are largely dependent on JAK2;
6) a specific PI3-kinase inhibitor, wortmannin, completely blocked the
anti-lipolytic effect of GH in 3T3 L1 adipocytes. Taken together, the
role of IRSs in GH and PRL signalings appears to be phosphorylated by
JAK2, thereby providing docking sites for p85 PI3-kinase and activating
PI3-kinase and its downstream biological effects.
