Descriptions:Interleukin-1 alpha (IL1 alpha or IL1α) is a member of the interleukin-1 cytokine family, found constitutively present in epithelial layers of the entire gastrointestinal tract, lung, liver, kidney, endothelial cells, and astrocytes. The synthesized IL-1 alpha is a 31 kDa inactive precursor and can be cleaved by intracellular caspase-1 or extracellular proteases to generate the bioactive 17 kDa form and the 16 kDa N-terminal cleavage product. Both precursor and mature IL-1 alpha protein bind to the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R), initiating a cascade of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines production such as IL-6, IL-8, and TNF, in response to viral and bacterial pathogens conditions. IL-1 alpha plays a central role in immune-surveillance mechanisms, stimulating macrophages, neutrophils, and CD8+ T cells activity.

Descriptions:C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12) also named stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL12 is a 7.8 kDa protein containing 70 amino acid residues. CXCL12 has a key role in controling the immune responses which is often induced by the lipopolysaccharide or IL-1. CXCL12 also activates the leukocytes during inflammation. CXCL12 induces the migration and proliferation of cells like hematopoietic progenitor, stem cells and leukocytes.

Descriptions:4-1BB ligand (4-1BBL) is a type II transmembrane protein that is part of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. As an inducible co-stimulatory molecule, it presents on several antigen presenting cell (APC) types, including B cells, macrophages and DCs. The interactions between 4-1BB and 4-1BBL trigger pleiotropic effects on the immune response including antigen presenting process, proliferation of CD4 and CD8 positive T-cells, as well as cytokine secretion from T-cells through NFκB, c-Jun, and p38 downstream signal pathways activation.Therefore, 4-1BB and 4-1BBL are recently used for the immunotherapy of cancer.

Descriptions:Interleukin 38 (IL-38) is a 16.87 kDa cytokine with 152 amino acid residues and a member of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family. IL-38 is primarily secreted from basal epithelia of the skin and B cells of the tonsil, spleen, and thymus. It plays essential roles in inflammation and host defense by mediating NF-κB, AP1, and JNK signaling pathways when IL-38 binds to the receptors like IL1RAPL1 and IL-36R. In addition, IL-38 participates in down-regulating cell proliferation, migration, and up-regulating IL-6 and IL-10.

Descriptions:Fas Ligand (FasL) is a 17.34 kDa tumor necrosis factor with 152 amino acid residues. FasL is expressed from lymphoid tissue and secreted to blood. Binding to its receptor, TNFRSF6/FAS, leads to induce apoptotic signal into cells. Involved in cytotoxic T-cell-mediated apoptosis, natural killer cell-mediated apoptosis and in T-cell development.

Descriptions:BAFF also known as BLYS, TALL-1 and TNFSF13B, which belongs to tumor necrosis factor family. BAFF is a 31.2 kDa type II transmembrane protein containing 285 residues that predominantly produced by myeloid cells, furthermore mouse BAFF shares 72% sequence identity with human BAFF. BAFF has been demonstrated to activate the survival of B cells and the B cell response by binding to BAFFR/BR3. Additionally, BAFF also takes part in regulating B and T cell function via forming two ligands-two receptors pathway through sharing TNFRSF13B/TACI and TNFRSF17/BCMA receptors with APRIL.

Descriptions:FGF16 is preferentially expressed in the heart after birth, suggesting its regulation is associated with tissue-specific chromatin remodeling and DNA-protein interactions. Mutation of the MEF2 site resulted in a blunting of FGF16 promoter activity in transfected neonatal rat cardiac myocytes, that chromatin remodeling and MEF2 binding in the FGF16 promoter contribute to expression in the postnatal heart.
