Glucose enhances leptin stimulation of JAK2.

<p><i>A</i>, γ2A^LEPRb/JAK2 cells were deprived of serum in the presence of 5 or 25 mM glucose overnight and then treated with 100 ng/ml leptin for 10 min. Cell extracts were immunoblotted with anti-phospho-JAK2 (pTyr^1007/1008) (αpJAK2), αJAK2, αpSTAT3, or αSTAT3 as designated. <i>B</i>, γ2A^LEPRb/JAK2 cells were treated with 5 or 25 mM glucose overnight and then with 100 ng/ml leptin for 10 min. JAK2 in cell extracts was immunoprecipitated with αJAK2 and subjected to an <i>in vitro</i> kinase assay. The same blots were immunoblotted with αJAK2.
