Role of leukemia inhibitory factor in the nervous system and its pathology

Abstract: AbstractLeukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a multifunction cytokine that has various effects on different tissues and cell types in rodents and humans; however, its insufficiency has a relatively mild impact. This could explain why only some aspects of LIF activity are in the limelight, whereas other aspects are not well known. In this review, the LIF structure, signaling pathway, and primary roles in the development and function of an organism are reviewed, and the effects of… Show more

“…Indeed, we have observed not only the growth of the number of nerve fibers in the distal segment of the injured sciatic nerve, but also the improvement of the structure of the regenerative neuroma. In mice with the nerve injury receiving rhLIF, positive changes in the structure of the damaged nerve can be attributed to the effect of cytokine on axons of neurons, expression of NGF, and anti-apoptotic effect on nerve cells [11,12]. We do not exclude that these mice also have positive changes in the functioning of the motor neurons of the spinal cord.…”

“…However, in this work, we have used long-term subcutaneous injection of rhLIF in the area of the sciatic nerve injury [16]. Such an approach can contribute to the maintenance of a sufficiently stable cytokine content at the site of the injury, which, according to Ostasov [11], is important for the development of regenerative processes in it. Indeed, we have observed not only the growth of the number of nerve fibers in the distal segment of the injured sciatic nerve, but also the improvement of the structure of the regenerative neuroma.…”
