摘要

Previous gene-targeting studies indicated that Bim, a BH3-only death activator, regulates total blood cell number. Cytokines contribute to this process by negatively regulating steady-state levels of Bim mRNA. Here we present a molecular mechanism for cytokine-mediated posttranscriptional regulation of Bim mRNA by heat-shock cognate protein 70 (Hsc70), which binds to AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3'-untranslated region of specific mRNAs and enhances their stability. The RNA binding potential of Hsc70 is regulated by cochaperones including Bag-4 (also SODD), CHIP, Hip, and Hsp40. Cytokines regulate the expression or function of these cochaperones by activating Ras pathways. Thus, exposure of cells to cytokines ultimately leads to destabilization of Bim mRNA and promotion of cell survival. This unanticipated role of a chaperone/cochaperone complex in mRNA stability appears to be critical for hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis.
