Abstract
The non-receptor tyrosine kinase janus kinase 2 (JAK2) is a critical component of cytokine and growth factor signaling pathways regulating hematopoietic cell proliferation, and JAK2 mutations are associated with multiple myeloproliferative neoplasms. In contrast to hematopoietic tissue, the physiological and pathological functions of JAK2 in the nervous system are not well studied. Here we demonstrate that JAK2 negatively regulates neuronal differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Depletion of JAK2 stimulated neuronal differentiation of mouse ESCs and was associated with activation of glycogen synthase kinase 3ꞵ, Fyn, and cyclin-dependent kinase 5. Knockdown of JAK2 also resulted in accumulation of GTP-bound Rac1, a Rho GTPase implicated in the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics. These findings suggest that JAK2 may negatively regulate neuronal differentiation by suppressing the GSK-3モ/Fyn/CDK5 signaling pathway responsible for morphological maturation.
