Does human GH stimulate IGF-I gene expression via a specific tyrosine phosphorylation pathway in Ba/F3-hGHR cells?
Population
Mouse pro-B, Ba/F3 cells stably expressing human GH receptor (Ba/F3-hGHR)
Comparison
Human GH with or without specific kinase… vs Untreated cells or cells without…

Does not alter GH-IGF-I clinical practice; leaves open a novel C-terminal hGHR tyrosine pathway in IGF-I regulation.
Does human GH stimulate IGF-I gene expression via a specific tyrosine phosphorylation pathway in Ba/F3-hGHR cells?
GH-stimulated IGF-I gene expression in Ba/F3 cells involves both the JAK-STAT5 pathway and a novel tyrosine phosphorylation pathway dependent on the C-terminal region of the human GH receptor.
Yoshizato et al. (2003) studied this question.
