Many cytokines and growth factors induce transcription of immediate early response genes by activating members of the Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) family. Although significant progress has been made in understanding the events that lead to the activation of STAT proteins, less is known about the regulation of their expression. Here we report that murine embryonic fibroblasts derived from c-Cbl-deficient mice display significantly increased levels of STAT1 and STAT5 protein.
