Disease relevance of LIF

 

High impact information on LIF

  • We show that LIF production is associated with type 2 T-helper cells, is upregulated by IL-4 and progesterone and is downregulated by IL-12, IFN-gamma and IFN-alpha [7].
  • We also show a decreased production of LIF, IL-4 and IL-10 by decidual T cells of women with unexplained recurrent abortions in comparison with that of women with normal gestation [7].
  • The defective production of LIF and/or type 2 T-helper cytokines may contribute to the development of unexplained recurrent abortions [7].
  • We demonstrate here that purified, recombinant LIF can substitute for DIA in the maintenance of totipotent ES cell lines that retain the potential to form chimaeric mice [8].
  • In addition to classic hematopoietic and neuronal actions, LIF plays a critical role in several endocrine functions including the utero-placental unit, the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis, bone cell metabolism, energy homeostasis, and hormonally responsive tumors [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of LIF

 

Biological context of LIF

 

Anatomical context of LIF

 

Associations of LIF with chemical compounds

  • Treatment with the reversible PI3K inhibitor, LY294002, or more specific inhibition of class I(A) PI3K via regulated expression of dominant negative Deltap85, led to a reduction in the ability of LIF to maintain self-renewal, with cells concomitantly adopting a differentiated morphology [22].
  • LIF is a glycoprotein secreted by a number of different cell types in vitro [4].
  • The structure of Leukaemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) and Oncostatin M (OSM) receptors is not completely resolved [23].
  • Using alanine-scanning mutagenesis of the Ig-like domain, we mapped a LIF binding site at its carboxyl terminus, mainly involving residue Phe-328 [24].
  • While leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) maintains pluripotency in mouse ES cells, retinoic acid and other nuclear hormones induce neuro-glial differentiation in mouse and human ES cells in culture [25].
 

Physical interactions of LIF

  • The region of hLIF most important for binding to the hLIF-R is composed of residues from the amino terminus of the D-helix, carboxyl terminus of the B-helix, and C-D loop [16].
  • Residues in hLIF from both the A- and C-helices are involved in binding the gp130 co-receptor [16].
  • Only LIF elicited strong tyrosine phosphorylation and specific DNA-binding activity of STAT3 [26].
  • TGF-beta and rIL-1 alpha also interacted in a synergistic fashion to further increase LIF elaboration [27].
  • The identity of this LIF binding component with the Man-6-P/insulin-like growth factor-II receptor (Man-6-P/IGFII-R) was supported by several findings [28].
 

Enzymatic interactions of LIF

  • We found that gp130 fusion proteins were phosphorylated exclusively on Ser-782 by LIF- and growth factor-stimulated 3T3-L1 cell extracts [29].
  • Moreover, endogenous STAP-2 was phosphorylated at Tyr250 following LIF stimulation of murine M1 cell line [30].
 

Regulatory relationships of LIF

  • A second region of hLIF that includes residues from the carboxyl terminus of the D-helix and A-B loop also had a weak influence on hLIF-R binding [16].
  • Stat3 activation was constitutive in SEKI cells and induced on treatment of 293 cells with LIF [1].
  • It is concluded that OSM can induce inflammatory reaction not only directly but also via LIF production by tumor cells [5].
  • We find that SOCS-3 is expressed in the neuronal cell lines SN56 and IMR32 and negatively regulates LIF-stimulated neuronal gene expression [31].
  • Thus, LIF may regulate by a gp130-dependent pathway macrophage-mediated procoagulant function in diverse pathological states involving inflammation and thrombosis and seems to serve as an important mediator at the interface between these processes [32].
 

Other interactions of LIF

  • Furthermore, anti-gp130 mAb completely inhibited the proliferation of the cells induced by OSM, LIF, as well as IL-6 [33].
  • These cells release IL-6 but not OSM or LIF into the culture supernatant during short-term culture [33].
  • Thus, whereas LIF and CNTF have clear roles in maintenance and following trauma, it is unclear which of the cytokines is involved in nervous system development [18].
  • Molecular modeling of the complex of LIF with the Ig-like domain of LIFR provides a clue for the superadditivity of the D214A/F284A double mutation [34].
  • Interestingly, binding of LIF to type 1 receptor was not affected, corroborating the notion that in this case gp130 mostly behaves as a converter protein rather than a binding receptor [35].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of LIF

  • LIF content in culture supernatants was assayed by a specific ELISA (sensitivity: 25 pg/ml) [5].
  • Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and interleukin (IL)-6 are members of a cytokine group that share a common signal transducer gp130 and induce pleiotropic biological effects in cells of diverse lineage [32].
  • Anti-LIF receptor and anti-gp130 antibodies attenuated the effect of LIF on TF expression as assayed by both bioassay and flow-cytometry [32].
  • In the control group LIF, CNTF and IL-11 were measurable in 8.3%, 33.3% and 8.3% respectively [36].
  • The expression of oncostatin M and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), JAK-STAT activators and members of the interleukin-6 family of cytokines, were examined in a series of primary ovarian carcinomas using immunohistochemistry [37].
