Disease relevance of Lif

 

Psychiatry related information on Lif

  • The LIF-treated rats displayed decreased motor activity during juvenile stages, and developed abnormal prepulse inhibition in the acoustic startle test during and after adolescence [5].
 

High impact information on Lif

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Lif

 

Biological context of Lif

  • The dendritic retraction induced by LIF exhibited substantial specificity because it was not accompanied by changes in cell number, in the rate of axonal growth, or in the expression of axonal cytoskeletal elements [12].
  • In contrast, less than 10% of newborn NG neurons survived in the presence of LIF or CNTF, suggesting a loss in responsiveness to these factors during fetal development in vivo [13].
  • Expression of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF)/interleukin-6 family cytokines and receptors during in vitro osteogenesis: differential regulation by dexamethasone and LIF [14].
  • After seizure, IL-6, LIF, and IL-11 exhibited a rapid, robust, and transient upregulation in non-principal cells [15].
  • LIF signaling is responsible for cortical precursor cell survival [16].
 

Anatomical context of Lif

  • Our data indicate that leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) cause sympathetic neurons to retract their dendrites in vitro, ultimately leading to an approximately 80% reduction in the size of the arbor [12].
  • Leukemia inhibitory factor and neurotrophins support overlapping populations of rat nodose sensory neurons in culture [13].
  • To determine whether development of NGF-independent sensory neurons could be similarly regulated, the present study examined the effects of LIF and the related cytokine-like growth factor, ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), on survival of rat nodose ganglion (NG) cells in culture [13].
  • Previously, we reported that LIF inhibits, in a non-IL-6-dependent manner, osteoblast differentiation and bone nodule formation in the rat calvaria (RC) model, an effect that is antagonized by dexamethasone (Dex) [14].
  • LIF also exhibited a remarkably early and transient induction in the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus [15].
 

Associations of Lif with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of Lif

 

Other interactions of Lif

  • Treatment of dissociate cultures of Embryonic Day (E) 16.5 NG with LIF or CNTF (10 ng/ml) resulted in a four- to fivefold increase in neuronal survival; the number of neurons supported by either factor represented approximately 50% of the total NG population [13].
  • In TGR, the increased level of LIF was accompanied by a decrease in mRNA levels for LIFR and CNTFR [26].
  • The protein levels of IL-6, LIF and CT-1 were investigated by western blot [26].
  • In vitro, CNTF and LIF induced in crest-derived cells nuclear translocation of STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3), a concentration-dependent increase in expression of neuronal or glial markers, and a decrease in expression of the precursor marker, nestin [27].
  • Early induction of phosphorylated Stat3 was significantly detected on the ischemic side in the high-LIF group after LIF injection [4].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Lif

  • These data indicate that multiple members of the LIF/IL-6 family and their receptors are expressed in RC cell cultures, and are differentially regulated by Dex and LIF, suggesting that these cytokines play a complex and interdependent role, further modulated by glucocorticoid levels, in osteoprogenitor differentiation and bone nodule formation [14].
  • Real-time PCR analysis revealed that LIF mRNA expression was significantly increased from day 1 to day 7 after reperfusion and that LIFR mRNA was upregulated from day 4 to day 14 [3].
  • It is likely that increased LIF expression following peripheral axotomy plays an important role in the novel sympathetic sprouting observed within sensory ganglia following peripheral nerve injury [28].
  • Growing or growth-arrested rat mesangial cells constitutively expressed very low levels of LIF mRNA, barely detectable by Northern blot analysis [29].
  • 2. Immunocytochemistry was used to study the distribution and density of tyrosine hydroxylase-immunoreactive (TH-IR) fibres within the lumbar dorsal root ganglia and lumbar spinal nerves 14 days following continuous intrathecal infusion of LIF (0.33 mg ml-1), or 14 days following unilateral peripheral nerve axotomy [28].
