Leukemia Inhibitory Factor Induces Proopiomelanocortin via CRH/CRHR Pathway in Mouse Trophoblast
We previously showed that maternal leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) induces placental production of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), which stimulates fetal nucleated red blood cells to further secrete LIF and promote neurogenesis in rodent brains ...

Identification of cooperating genetic events in acute leukemia [PDF]
The genetic alterations associated with acute leukemia can be divided into two functional groups. The class I mutations enhance cellular proliferation and survival by constitutive activation of mainly protein tyrosine kinases signaling pathways.

Genome-wide identification and analysis of mRNA expression in fibroblasts, ES cells, and iPS cells
Genome-wide expression patterns of mRNA were compared between mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and various types of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

Functional characterization of the Plasmodium falciparum and P-berghei homologues of macrophage migration inhibitory factor [PDF]
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a mammalian cytokine that participates in innate and adaptive immune responses. Homologues of mammalian MIF have been discovered in parasite species infecting mammalian hosts (nematodes and malaria ...

Human circulating eosinophils secrete macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Potential role in asthma [PDF]
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a potent proinflammatory mediator that has been shown to potentiate lethal endotoxemia and to play a potentially important regulatory role in human acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Constitutive cytoplasmic localization of p21Waf1/Cip1 affects the apoptotic process in monocytic leukaemia [PDF]
In the present study, we analysed the expression and localization of p21Waf1/Cip1 in normal and malignant haematopoietic cells. We demonstrate that in normal monocytic cells, protein kinase C (PKC)-induced p21 gene activation, which is nuclear factor-κB (

A targetable LIFR−NF-κB−LCN2 axis controls liver tumorigenesis and vulnerability to ferroptosis
Leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIFR) is frequently downregulated in liver cancer. Here the authors show that loss of LIFR promotes liver tumorigenesis and confers resistance to drug-induced ferroptosis through NF-κB-mediated upregulation of iron ...

Possible Role of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor and Inflammatory Cytokines in The Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion: A Case-Control Study [PDF]
Background: Despite of long-lasting efforts, in more than 50% of cases, the etiology of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) remains unknown. Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) has an essential role in the reproductive process, such as modulating ...
