Abstract
ABSTRACT
The classical mechanism by which prolactin transduces its signal in mammary epithelial cells is by activation of cytosolic signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (Stat5) via a plasma membrane-associated prolactin receptor-Janus kinase 2 (Jak2) complex. Here we describe an alternative pathway through which prolactin via Jak2 localized in the nucleus activates the transcription factor nuclear factor 1-C2 (NF1-C2). Previous reports have demonstrated a nuclear localization of Jak2, but the physiologic importance of nuclear Jak2 has not been clear. We demonstrate that nuclear Jak2 regulates the amount of active NF1-C2 through tyrosine phosphorylation and proteasomal degradation. Our data also demonstrate a link between prolactin and p53 as well as the milk gene carboxyl ester lipase through nuclear Jak2 and NF1-C2. Hence, we describe a novel pathway through which nuclear Jak2 is subject to regulation by prolactin in mammary epithelial cells.
