Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a neurotrophic factor and a member of the tumor growth factor (TGF)-beta superfamily. The GDNF family of growth factors also includes neurturin, persephin, and artemin, which have seven conserved cysteine residues called cysteine-knot (Treanor et al.). GDNF family ligands signal through binding to specific GDNF-family receptor-α (GFRα) co-receptors and activate the RET receptor tyrosine kinase (Durbec et al.). Four different forms of GFRα co-receptors have been characterized (GFRα 1-4) out of which GDNF binds specifically to GFRα1 prior to forming a complex with RET (Airaksinen and Saarma). GDNF is known to promote survival and morphological differentiation of midbrain dopaminergic neurons in both in vivo and in vitro studies and increase their high-affinity dopamine uptake (Granholm et al.; Lin et al.). GDNF has also been shown to have restorative effects on dying dopaminergic neurons in response to degenerative toxins (Aoi et al.). GDNF, together with Human Recombinant BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor; Catalog #78005), BrainPhys™ Neuronal Medium (Catalog #05790), and other supplements, can be used to differentiate human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neural progenitor cells into neurons (Bardy et al.). This product is animal component-free.

Indian hedgehog (IHH) is one of three proteins in the hedgehog family which includes sonic hedgehog and desert hedgehog. Hedgehog proteins are important signaling molecules, acting through patched and smoothened receptors. During embryonic development, they are expressed in the fetal lung, gut, stomach, liver, kidney, and pancreas. IHH is strongly expressed in cartilage and regions of developing bone, and its signaling regulates growth and differentiation of bone tissue (Marigo et al.; Valentini et al.; St-Jacques et al.). IHH is also involved in yolk sac vasculogenesis, indicating a role in the differentiation of epiblast cells into endothelial and red blood cells (Byrd et al.). IHH induces the expression of parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP), which negatively regulates IHH during chondrocyte differentiation and proliferation (Vortkamp et al.).

Tumor necrosis factor-beta (TNF-β), also known as lymphotoxin-alpha, is a member of the TNF family. It is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that activates NF-kB, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT pathways upon binding to TNF receptors 1 and 2. It is produced mainly by T cells, though other cells can express TNF-β at lower levels (Chu). TNF-β is involved in autoimmune disorders, lymph node development, and mediating the inflammatory demyelination process (Seleznik et al.; McCarthy et al.).

Stimulating T cells with CMV (IE-1) peptide pool releases downstream cytokines and upregulates activation markers, enabling antigen-specific T cells to be detected or isolated for analysis. CMV (IE-1) peptide pool is a lyophilised mixture of 120 peptides from the immediate early protein IE1 (IE1) of human cytomegalovirus (CMV; strain AD169), and consists of 15-mer peptides with 11-amino-acid overlaps that cover amino acids 1 to 491 on IE1. CMV IE1 is a transcriptional transactivator and autoregulator (Cherrington and Mocarski). Studies show that IE1 promotes viral transcription by antagonizing histone deacetylation (Nevels et al.) and, along with IE2, may contribute to the survival of CMV-infected cells by blocking tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-induced apoptosis (Zhu et al.). Viral peptide pools are useful for a broad range of applications, including vaccine development, immunological research, and diagnostic assay development.

Interleukin 10 (IL-10) is the founding member of the IL-10 family of class II cytokines. All of the IL-10 cytokine family members have a four-helix bundle consisting of α-helical folds. Upon binding to its receptor, IL-10 activates signaling through JAK1 and STAT3. It is produced by dendritic cells, macrophages, and CD4+ T cells, as well as mast cells, NK cells, neutrophils, and B cells, under specific stimulating conditions (Saraiva and O'Garra). IL-10 can inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and promote healing processes, and is important for the function of regulatory T cells. IL-10 also enhances B cell proliferation, immunoglobulin secretion, and class II MHC expression, while IL-10 produced by macrophages inhibits activation of neighboring macrophages, thus allowing a level of self-regulation (Ouyang et al.).

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a member of the CSF family of glycoproteins that regulate hematopoietic cell proliferation, differentiation, and function. It is a key cytokine involved in the production of neutrophils and the stimulation of granulocyte colony formation from hematopoietic progenitor cells (Metcalf and Nicola). G-CSF causes a range of effects including a transient reduction of SDF-1 expression (Petit et al.), the activation of metalloproteases that cleave VCAM-1 (Levesque et al.), and the release of norepinephrine from the sympathetic nervous system (Katayama et al.), leading to the release or mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow into the periphery. The G-CSF receptor is expressed on a variety of hematopoietic cells, including myeloid-committed progenitor cells, neutrophils, granulocytes, and monocytes. In addition to hematopoietic cells, G-CSF is also expressed in cardiomyocytes, neuronal cells, mesothelial cells, and endothelial cells. Mouse G-CSF was first purified from cultures of the WEHI-3B myelomonocytic leukemia cell line as the inducer of the terminal differentiation of WEHI-3B and other myeloid leukemia cell lines (Nicola et al.). It was later cloned in monkey COS cells from a cDNA library prepared with mRNA derived from mouse fibrosarcoma NFSA cells that produce G-CSF constitutively (Tsuchiya et al.). Binding of G-CSF to its receptor leads to activation of the JAK/STAT, MAPK, PI3K, and AKT signal transduction pathways.

Heregulin-beta 1 also known as neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family of growth factors and acts as a ligand for ErbB family receptor tyrosine kinases (Britsch et al.). Heregulin/neuregulin is a family of structurally related polypeptide growth factors derived from alternatively spliced genes (NRG1, NRG2, NRG3, and NRG4). Heregulin-beta 1 plays an important role during the development of the nervous system, heart, and mammary glands (Britsch). Heregulin-beta 1 is expressed in neuronal cells, and modulates cell growth and differentiation of the cells during development and wound healing (Mei and Xiong). It has been implicated through in vivo and in vitro studies that heregulin-beta 1/ErbB signaling is crucial for multiple aspects of cardiovascular development and protects the heart from ischemic injury (Odiete et al.). Heregulin-beta 1 also promotes invasiveness and metastasis of breast cancer cells (Hutcheson et al.). It has also been shown that heregulin-beta 1 has a role in the growth and maintenance of human embryonic stem cells (Wang et al.).

Use sclerostin to alter bone remodeling homeostasis, where it inhibits bone formation in vivo and in vitro, likely through Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascades (Ellies et al.; Lin et al.). Sclerostin is a member of the cerberus/DAN family of glycoproteins whose members share a C-terminal cysteine-knot-like (CTCK) domain. Highly expressed in bone and cartilage, as well as in kidney, and liver tissues (Weivoda et al.), this osteoclast-derived BMP antagonist binds BMP6 and BMP7 with high affinity, and binds BMP2 and BMP4 with a lower affinity (Kusu et al.). Mutations in the SOST gene have been associated with sclerosteosis (Brunkow et al.), van Buchem disease (Staehling-Hampton et al.), and bone dysplasia disorders, characterized by increased bone density. This protein product contains a His-residue tag at the carboxyl end of the polypeptide chain. For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, sclerostin from STEMCELL comes lyophilised with ≥87% purity, and endotoxin levels are verified to be ≤1.0 EU/μg protein.

Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a key regulator of megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis in vitro and in vivo. TPO stimulates the proliferation and maturation of megakaryocytes and has an important role in regulating the level of circulating platelets in vivo. TPO also promotes the survival, self-renewal, and expansion of hematopoietic stem cells and primitive multilineage progenitor cells. It is commonly used with other cytokines such as stem cell factor (SCF) and Flt3/Flk-2 Ligand to promote expansion of primitive hematopoietic cells in culture (Hitchcock andamp; Kaushansky). The TPO receptor, c-Mpl, is expressed at all stages of megakaryopoiesis, from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells to mature platelets.
