Abstract

The influence of cytokine LIF (Leukemia Inhibitory Factor) on the viability, and proliferation of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) (R1 cell line) and their distribution by cell cycle stages has been investigated. LIF (5–20 ng/ml) increased growth of colonies and maintained high proliferative and pluripotent properties of R1 cells. LIF was also involved into the inhibition of spontaneous cell differentiation and apoptotic cell death; it also decreased the rations of S/G2 + M cell cycle and doubling-time of cell population.
