Agrin pathway is controlled by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in murine implantation.
Agrin is the heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) that is well known as the molecule that aggregates acetylcholine receptor (AChR) through muscle specific kinase (MuSK) and rapsyn at neuromuscular junctions. HSPGs are spatiotemporally expressed in embryonic and maternal tissues during implantation. The present study examined the role of agrin in the mouse embryo using leukemia inhibitory factor ...
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 کاملThe effect of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) on trophoblast differentiation: a potential role in human implantation.
Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a multifunctional glycoprotein strongly associated with normal implantation in the mouse. We have recently determined that LIF is expressed in the human endometrium in a menstrual cycle dependent manner. Maximal expression is observed between days 19 and 25 of the menstrual cycle, coinciding with the time of human implantation. In this study we have utilized ...
متن کاملLeukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and LIF receptor in human lung. Distribution and regulation of LIF release.
The distribution and regulation of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and its receptor (LIFR) in human lung tissue is unknown. We recently found that LIF was immunolocalized to several cell types in human airways, and that exogenous LIF modulated neural and contractile responses of explanted airways. The present study aimed to determine the cellular distribution and regulation of gene transcripts...
متن کاملThe Role of the Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) — Pathway in Derivation and Maintenance of Murine Pluripotent Stem Cells
Developmental biology, regenerative medicine and cancer biology are more and more interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling pluripotency and self-renewal in stem cells. Pluripotency is maintained by a synergistic interplay between extrinsic stimuli and intrinsic circuitries, which allow sustainment of the undifferentiated and self-renewing state. Nevertheless, even though...
