Type I interferon (IFN)-
/ß and type II IFN-
induce the expression of early response genes through activation of the Janus tyrosine kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (Stat) pathway. Although IFNs regulate a variety of other signaling cascades, little is known about how they contribute to the biological activities of these cytokines. In this study, we demonstrate that IFN-ß or IFN- induces the phosphorylation of the serine/threonine kinase Akt in primary human peripheral blood monocytes. Abrogation of the IFN-stimulated Akt activation by phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K) inhibitors prevents IFN-induced adhesion in these cells, and IFN activation of the Stat1-dependent guanylate-binding protein (GBP) gene is not affected. Importantly, Stat1-deficient bone marrow macrophages displayed a similar level of IFN--stimulated adhesion compared with macrophages derived from wild-type littermates. These findings demonstrate for the first time that IFN stimulation of a PI-3K signaling cascade modulates the ability of these cytokines to regulate monocyte adhesion, and this process does not require the expression of Stat1, a primary mediator of IFN- signaling.
