Popis: Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and oncostatin M (OSM) both bind to the same receptor with high affinity and thus mediate an overlapping spectrum of biological activities, the signal transduction mechanisms for which are unclear. We show that mitogen-activated protein kinases are involved in both the LIF and OSM signal transduction pathways. However, we found that OSM is a much more potent inducer of both mitogen-activated protein kinase activity and biological response, both of which correlate with the expression of a second OSM receptor that does not bind LIF. In addition, different patterns of tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins were stimulated by OSM and LIF. We therefore suggest that the two receptors for OSM can be coupled to different signal transduction events.
