Inadequate induction of suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 causes systemic autoimmune diseases
20 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-1 is a cytokine-inducible, negative regulatory molecule of Janus kinases (JAK) and its deficiency causes hyper-response to various cytokines. SOCS-1(-/-) mice spontaneously develop a fatal disease depending on aberrantly activated lymphocytes. Here, we show that partial restoration of SOCS-1 in lymphoid cells rescues SOCS-1(-/-) mice from the early-onset fatal disease,...
