Leukemia Inhibitory Factor in Rat Fetal Lung Development: Expression and Functional Studies
BACKGROUND Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are members of the family of the glycoprotein 130 (gp130)-type cytokines. These cytokines share gp130 as a common signal transducer, which explains why they show some functional redundancy. Recently, it was demonstrated that IL-6 promotes fetal lung branching. Additionally, LIF has been implicated in developmental processes of...
متن کاملcloning, expression, and functional characterization of in-house prepared human leukemia inhibitory factor
objective: leukemia inhibitory factor (lif) plays important roles in cellular proliferation, growth promotion and differentiation of various types of target cells. in addition, lif influences bone metabolism, cachexia, neural development, embryogenesis and inflammation. human lif (hlif) is an essential growth factor for the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem cells (escs) and induced pluripoten...
متن کاملCodon Optimization, Cloning and Expression of the Human Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (hLIF) in E. coli
Background: Leukemia inhibitor factor (LIF) is a very important pleiotropic cytokine which belongs to interleukin-6 (IL-6) family. LIF exerts multiple effects on different types of cells and tissues with numerous regulatory effects in vivo and in vitro. It is a lymphoid factor, which performs a number of activities including cholinergic neuron differentiation, contro...
متن کاملInvestigation of Leptin, Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF), and IL-6 Serum Levels in Myeloid Leukemia
Background: Leptin has been implicated in the differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic cells. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) may play an important role, along with Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G- CSF), in the regulation of early hematopoietic stem cells. The aim of the study was to evaluate serum level of leptin, LIF, and IL-6 in myeloid leukemia p...
متن کاملEffects of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor on gp130 Expression and Rate of Metaphase II Development during in vitro maturation of mouse oocyte
Background: Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a 45-56 kDa glycoprotein that has an important role in proliferation and embryo implantation. Its effect on oocyte maturation and how to exert the function remained to be elucidated. Methods: Immature mice superovulated with human menopausal gonadotropin and germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes were obtained from ovary 48 hours after. GV oocytes were cul...
