Our previous studies demonstrated that the IL-13-induced 15-lipoxygenase expression in primary human monocytes is regulated by the activation of both Stat1 and Stat3 and by protein kinase C (PKC)delta. IL-13 stimulated the phosphorylation of Stat3 on both Tyr705 and Ser727. In this study we show that IL-13 induces the association of PKCdelta with Stat3, not with Stat1, and is required for Stat3 Ser727 phosphorylation. We found a novel IL-13-dependent cytosolic signaling complex of PKCdelta and tyrosine-phosphorylated Stat3. A tyrosine kinase inhibitor blocked PKCdelta association with Stat3 as well as Stat3 Ser727 phosphorylation. We therefore hypothesized that tyrosine phosphorylation was required for Stat3 interaction with PKCdelta and subsequent PKCdelta-dependent phosphorylation of Stat3 Ser727. We developed an efficient transfection protocol for human monocytes. Expression of Stat3 containing a mutation in Tyr705 inhibited the association of PKCdelta with Stat3 and blocked Stat3 Ser727 phosphorylation, whereas transfection with wild-type Stat3 did not. Furthermore, by transfecting monocytes with Stat3 containing mutations in Tyr705 or Ser727 or with wild-type Stat3, we demonstrated that both Stat3 tyrosine and serine phosphorylations are required for optimal binding of Stat3 with DNA and maximal expression of 15-lipoxygenase, an important regulator of inflammation and apoptosis.
