Descriptions:Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) is a major cytokine expressed in macrophage, NK cells, monocytes, and neutrophils. It also plays fundamental role in inflammatory response, including monocyte activation, which is essential for the host defense and pathogen and pathogen resistance. Pro-IL-1β is cleaved by cytosolic caspase 1 to form mature IL-1β.

Descriptions:Bone morphogenetic protein -4 (BMP-4) is one of nine structurally related BMP's, belonging to transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, which secretes proteins. Mature BMP-4 is a dimer that binds to a multimeric transmembrane receptor with serine/threonine kinase activity. BMP-4 treatment promoted the proliferation of HCC cells and induced autophagy. Mechanism study shows that autophagy induced by BMP-4 is mediated by activating JNK1/Bcl2 pathway. JNK1 inhibitor and JNK1 knockout can weaken BMP-4-induced autophagy and eliminate BMP-4-promoted HCC cell growth. BMP-4 promotes the proliferation of HCC through autophagy activation of JNK1/Bcl-2 signaling.

Descriptions:Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (M-CSF) is a 19.02 kDa hematopoietic Growth Factors with 162 amino acid residues. The active form of the protein is homodimer, and secreted by osteoblasts. M-CSF controls the production, differentiation, and function of monocytes, macrophages, and bone marrow progenitor cells. M-CSF is able to activate CSF-1 signaling pathway via binding its receptor CSF-1R.

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:Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is a member of the cytokine family. It is a polypeptide hormone that has the function of promoting the synthesis of neurotransmitters and the growth of neurites in a specific neuronal population. Its action seems to be limited to the nervous system. Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) exerts its biological effects by activating a multi-subunit receptor complex consisting of an extracellular CNTF-binding subunit (CNTFα) and two transmembrane signaling proteins (glycoprotein gp130 and LIF receptor). CNTF is thought to be a potent survival factor in neurons and oligodendrocytes and may be associated with reduced tissue destruction during inflammatory episodes. CNTF is also a survival factor for peripheral sensory sympathetic ganglions and ciliary ganglia neurons. CNTF has been reported to have therapeutic potential and to greatly differentiate.

Descriptions:Interferon-Beta 1a (IFN-beta 1a) is a leukocyte interferon, which is a variant of Interferon-beta. IFN-beta 1a is a 19 kDa protein containing 166 amino acid residues. It could bind the interferon receptors that activates the signal transduction of immune responses through the Jak/STAT pathway in leukocytes and lymphoblastoid cells.
