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: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:Interleukin-10 (IL-10), also known as human cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF), is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Many different types of cells can produce IL-10, including immune cells and non-immune cells. IL-10 exerts inhibitory functions on DCs and macrophages, which is a potent inhibitor of antigen presentation and limit the production of the Th1-associated cytokines IL-2 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). IL-10 is also a key immunoregulator during infection due to its inhibitory effect on inflammatory cytokine production. Consequently, the excessive Th1 and CD8+ T cell responses could be suppressed during infection.

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: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: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.
