SOCS2 negatively regulates growth hormone action in vitro and in vivo

Abstract: Mice deficient in SOCS2 display an excessive growth phenotype characterized by a 30-50% increase in mature body size. Here we show that the SOCS2 -/-phenotype is dependent upon the presence of endogenous growth hormone (GH) and that treatment with exogenous GH induced excessive growth in mice lacking both endogenous GH and SOCS2. This was reflected in terms of overall body weight, body and bone lengths, and the weight of internal organs and tissues. A heightened response to GH was also measured by examining GH… Show more

“…We did not find a direct relationship of SOCS2 with IL6 concentration in placental lysates, and must therefore hypothesise SOCS2 activation by a different mechanism; however, SOCS2 could certainly play an important role in both insulin action through a direct action on the IR or IRS1 (20,29,30), and indirectly by inhibiting the GH receptor (31). GH action is in fact recognised as an important factor regulating insulin sensitivity (32).…”

“…Considerable evidence demonstrates that SOCS2 limits the trophic actions of GH. This includes a body overgrowth phenotype in SOCS2 null mice and observations that GH-deficient SOCS2 null mice show enhanced growth responses to exogenous GH (15). Our recent findings that haplotype insufficiency for SOCS2 enhances the effects of a GH transgene on intestinal growth and promotes polyp formation in GH transgenics provide new evidence that SOCS2 limits GH action in the intestine (33).…”

“…SOCS2 deficient mice display about 50% increased body size primarily due to the loss of negative regulation of growth hormone (GH) receptor function [42]. SOCS2 negatively regulates the GH receptor through ubiquitination-dependent degradation [43].…”
