Engagement of the IFN-alphabeta receptor initiates multiple sig- naling cascades, including activation of the STAT In this study, we demonstrate that IFN-alphaB, although antiproliferative in wild-type CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells, act as strong mitogens on their STAT1(- /-) counterparts. Furthermore, IFN-alphabeta exert little effect on apoptosis in wild-type cells, but are potent survival factors in the absence of STAT1. The antiapoptotic response in the absence of STAT1 is predominantly mediated by STAT3, and to a lesser extent by STAT5A/B. In contrast, the mitogenic IFN-alphabeta response gained through the absence of STAT1 is only marginally affected when STAT5AIB expression is also abrogated, but is completely dependent on STAT3 activation. These findings provide the first evidence for a function of STAT3 and STAT5A/B in the IFN-alphabeta response, and support a model in which the IFN-alphabeta receptor initiates both pro- and antiapoptotic responses through STAT1, and STAT3 and STAT5A/B, respectively.
