Abstract: Background: The ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) receptor is composed of two signalling receptor chains, gp130 and the leukaemia inhibitory factor receptor, associated with a nonsignalling CNTF binding receptor α component (CNTFR). This tripartite receptor has been shown to play important roles in the development of motor neurons, but the identity of the relevant ligand(s) is still not clearly established. Recently, we have identified two new ligands for the CNTF receptor complex. These are heterodimeric cyt… Show more

“…Furthermore our findings demonstrated that these cytokines also share a similar protein expression pattern in the rat fetal lung and, that for the most part of pulmonary development, gp130 cytokines expression is highly associated with both proximal and distal airways. This is found to be in agreement with further evidences that showed OSM [23] and CLC [25] expression in the pulmonary airway epithelium. It is also demonstrated that gp130 receptor protein is present in embryonic mesenchyme since early pulmonary development, and as gestation progresses its expression is predominantly associated with the developing epithelium, similarly to both the expression patterns observed for gp130 cytokines and LIFR in lung development [4].…”

“…Several evidences point towards a role of these inflammatory cytokines in varied aspects of lung physiology. During development, CLC is expressed in lung, particularly in distal airway epithelium, as well as several other organs [47], suggesting important biological roles of this cytokine. In opposition to lung growth inhibition here demonstrated, during kidney development (also a branching organ), CLC promotes mesenchymal to epithelial conversion and nephrogenesis [28].…”

“…However, CLF-1, alone or in combination with CNTFRα, has no direct impact on signaling, and so far its only know function is to facilitate transport and secretion of CLC. As previously described, CLC is expressed in the biosynthetic pathway but seems to depend on coexpression and complex formation with CLF-1 (or possibly CNTFRα) for cellular release ( 4 , 39 , 45 ). The clinical manifestations of CLF-1 deficiency have therefore been ascribed to the resulting decrease in CLC secretion.…”

“…CLC and CLF-1 are (co)expressed in a large number of cell types both inside and outside the nervous system ( 39 ), and, like CNTF, the CLC:CLF-1 heterodimer as well as the individual CLC subunit promotes growth and survival of CNTFRα-expressing neuronal cells ( 5 , 11 , 40 ). In the presence of CNTFRα (membrane anchored or soluble), CLC is sufficient to induce signaling, whereas CLF-1, as exemplified in the results shown in Fig.…”
