The signal transduction mechanism involved in human placental lactogen (hPL) was studied. We have identified that hPL rapidly stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of at least 7 proteins including Janus Kinases (JAK1 and JAK2) and a signal transducer and activator of transcription protein (Stat3). This is the first evidence that the JAK-STAT pathway is involved in the hPL signaling. Moreover, two unknown proteins which were different from STAT proteins (Stat1, 3 and 5) in sizes were predominantly tyrosine-phosphorylated. Because human growth hormone (hGH) activates Stat1, 3, 5 and human prolactin (hPRL) activates Stat5, these results show that hPL uses a unique signal transduction pathway which is different from hGH and hPRL.
