Description

The STAT5 (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 5) Luciferase Reporter murine Ba/F3 cell line monitors STAT5-mediated signal transduction pathways. It contains a firefly luciferase gene driven by STAT5 response elements located upstream of a minimal TATA promoter. After activation by relevant cytokines or growth factors, endogenous STAT5 binds to the response elements, inducing transcription of the luciferase reporter gene.

This cell line responds to mouse interleukin-3 (IL-3).

Background

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) includes the highly related proteins STAT5A and STAT5B. These transcription factors relay cytokine-induced signals from the membrane to the nucleus, regulating the expression of hundreds of specific target genes. Cytokine or growth factor binding to its receptor activates a kinase of the JAK (Janus Kinase) family, which then phosphorylates STAT5 to trigger its dimerization and nuclear translocation. STAT5 is involved in the development and function of B and T cells. Constitutive phosphorylation of STAT5 is often observed in cancer. The use of inhibitors of the JAK/STAT pathways are potential candidates for the treatment of inflammation related diseases.
