Descriptions:Basic fibroblast Growth Factors (FGF-2, bFGF), a pleiotropic cytokine, plays multiple roles in different cells and tissues. FGF-2 can stimulate smooth muscle cell growth, wound healing, and tissue repair. In addition, FGF-2 has been shown to regulate the generation of neurons and astrocytes from progenitor cells. FGF-2 are also involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth, and invasion. As a multifunctional cytokine, FGF-2 is first isolated from the pituitary. Later, it was identified from various cell types including cardiac myocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells.

Descriptions:Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor (CNTF) is the member of IL-6 cytokine family and mainly expressed in the nervous system. Mouse CNTF shares 84% sequence homology with human CNTF. CNTF is 22.9 kDa neurotrophic factor containing 110 residues, which shows multiple effects in vertebrate retinogenesis. Besides, CNTF acts as a promoter that not only accelerates adult neurogenesis but also increases the survival of neuron after injury.

Descriptions:The cytokine IFN gamma could protect cells from viral infections and belongs to the family of interferons. A lot of studies have shown that IFN gamma secreted by antigen triggered cell types, including T cells, naive CD4+ T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and B cells. IFN gamma plays an important role to trigger the macrophage act against a diverse group of microbial targets, and the pleiotropic molecule associated with antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic and antitumor mechanisms. Based on the effector cytokine considered as a major effector of immunity, it has been used in the treatment of several diseases.

Descriptions:Transforming Growth Factors-Beta 3 (TGF-beta 3) is belonging to the TGF-β superfamily TGF-β3 is 86%, 91% similar to TGF-β1 and TGF-β2. TGF-beta 3 is a 12.8 kDa protein containing 412 amino acids, which could inhibitor of DNA synthesis, increases cellular proliferation, essential mediator of EMT in cardiac morphogenesis, and up-regulated by milk stasis and induces apoptosis in mammary gland epithelium during involution.

Descriptions:Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors 165(VEGF165) is a potent growth and angiogenic cytokine which belongs to the VEGF family, includes VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, VEGF-E, and PIGF. Human VEGF165 is an abundant glycosylated cytokine composed of two identical 165 amino acid chains. Human VEGF165 plays an important role in embryonic vasculogenesis, angiogenesis and neurogenesis.

Descriptions:Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is the neurotrophic factor, belonging to the GDNF family of ligands (GFL) and identifying as a therapeutic candidate in Parkinson's disease. GDNF is a 23.7 kDa protein containing 211 residues that plays a critical role in promoting the survival and differentiation of midbrain dopamine neurons. Besides, GDNF is revealed to facilitate the development of peripheral tissues such as kidney, pancreas and lung. Additionally, as a member of GFL, GDNF also takes part in the progression of tumor.

Descriptions:C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 2 (CCL2) is a 13.88 kDa cytokine with 125 amino acid residues and is also known as monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1). CCL2 is mainly secreted from monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It regulates many biological functions, such as recruitments of monocytes, memory T cells, eosinophils, and dendritic cells, extravasation of helper T cells, response to TNFα and IFNγ, and angiogenesis. In addition, upon binding with CCR4, it initiates leukocyte migration response to inflammation.
