Immunofluorescence showed that NRF2 nuclear expression levels also decreased following 40 µg/ml ozone treatment. However, cells in the T40 group did not display decreased NRF2 nuclear expression levels. Normal/Apoptotic/Necrotic Cell Detection kit revealed that necrosis rate increased following treatment with 40 µg/ml ozone; however, the T40 group did not exhibit this increased necrosis. At 40 µg/ml, ozone increased spinal cord neuron (SCN) death in vitro. Moreover, treatment with 40 µg/ml ozone damaged SCNs. The p62/NRF2/antioxidant response element pathway prevented such injury. tBHQ activated this pathway, upregulated autophagy and increased local nuclear NRF2 concentration, thus enhancing the antioxidant system to protect SCNs from injury caused by high concentrations of ozone.Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a stem cell growth factor that maintains self‑renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). LIF is a cytokine in the interleukin‑6 family and signals via the common receptor subunit gp130 and ligand‑specific LIF receptor. LIF causes heterodimerization of the LIF receptor and gp130, activating the Janus kinase/STAT and MAPK pathways, resulting in changes in protein phosphorylation. The present study profiled LIF‑mediated protein phosphorylation changes in mESCs via proteomic analysis. mESCs treated in the presence or absence of LIF were analyzed via two‑dimensional differential in‑gel electrophoresis and protein and phosphoprotein staining. Protein identification was performed by matrix‑assisted laser desorption/ionization‑time of flight mass spectrophotometry. Increased phosphorylation of 16 proteins and decreased phosphorylation of 34 proteins in response to LIF treatment was detected. Gene Ontology terms enriched in these proteins inc
