Factor/D Factor Gene in Human T-Cell Leukemia Virus Type Expression and Regulation of the Leukemia Inhibitory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The expression of the leukemia inhibitory factor/D factor (LIF) gene in human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 infected T-cell lines was examined. Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 infected T-cell lines MT-1, MT-2, H89-59, H89-79, and H109 expressed LIF mRNA, but the T-cell lines MOLT-4 and TALL-1 did not. LIF mRNA expression was enhanced by interleukin 2 or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate in MT-2 cells. The biological activity of LIF was detected in culture medium enhanced by interleukin 2 in MT-2 cells. The expression of LIF mRNA was suppressed by la,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and dexamethasone. These results imply that the expression of the LIF gene is involved in the development of hypercaicemia and abnormalities of the immune system observed in patients with adult T-cell leukemia.

Background: Several studies have shown that leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is one of the most important cytokinesparticipating in the process of embryo implantation and pregnancy, while, the role of this factor on vascular endothelialfactor-A (VEGF-A), as one of the most important angiogenic factor, has not been fully investigated yet. The aimof this study was to evaluate th...

The human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) molecule exhibits limited tissue distribution, low polymorphism and alternative splicings that generate seven HLA-G isoforms. HLA-G exerts multiple immunoregulatory functions. Recent studies indicate an ectopic up-regulation in tumor cells that may favor their escape from anti-tumor immune responses. This study it is an effort to clarify the presence of HLA...

Background: Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a neurortophic cytokine which plays an important role in the neural cell survival. Expression of LIF and its receptor, LIFR, in different brain regions has been demonstrated. Based on evidences LIF plays an important role in the modulation of neurogenesis and glial responses to injury. Up-regulation of LIF after central nervous system (CNS) damage...
