Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that exerts neurotrophic and myotrophic actions. We have investigated the effect of LIF in experimental autoimmune neuritis (EAN), an animal model of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). Treatment with LIF at the onset of the disease showed a slight, but not significant, improvement in the clinical course but no effect on nerve histology.
白血病抑制因子(LIF)是一种具有多效性的细胞因子,发挥着神经营养和肌营养作用。我们研究了LIF在实验性自身免疫性神经炎(EAN)中的作用,EAN是格林-巴利综合征(GBS)的一种动物模型。在疾病发作时用LIF治疗,临床病程有轻微改善,但不显著,且对神经组织学无影响。
