Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), like nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4), is a member of the NGF family of neurotrophins, which are required for the differentiation and survival of specific neuronal subpopulations in both the central and the peripheral nervous systems (Minichiello and Klein; Minichiello et al.). BDNF binds with high affinity to the tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), and activates AKT and ERK pathways (Mattson et al.). It is expressed in the hippocampus, cortex, and synapses of the basal forebrain. BDNF acts as a survival factor for human embryonic stem cells when plated on either feeder cells or Corning® Matrigel® (Pyle et al.). BDNF regulates synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in the central nervous system, and contributes to adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation, long-term depression, certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, and homeostatic regulation of neuronal excitability (Reichardt). It also has a role in neurogenesis by promoting survival and growth of dorsal root ganglion cells, and hippocampal and cortical neurons (Binder and Scharfman). BDNF, together with glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and other supplements, is commonly used to differentiate human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neural progenitor cells into neurons (Brafman).

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-knots (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); 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 increases 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), BrainPhys™ Neuronal Medium, and other supplements, can be used to differentiate human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neural progenitor cells into neurons (Bardy et al.).

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) is a homodimeric glycoprotein growth factor that regulates proliferation and differentiation of myeloid hematopoietic progenitor cells to mononuclear phagocytic cell lineages, including monocytes, macrophages, and osteoclasts. M-CSF is a crucial factor for the development of tissue-resident macrophages in most tissues (Ginhoux and Jung). It is required for the maturation and activation of monocytes and macrophages, and regulates inflammatory responses in conjunction with other stimuli such as IFN-γ, LPS, and IL-4 (Murray et al.). M-CSF is also required for bone resorption by osteoclasts, and is involved in the development and regulation of the placenta, mammary gland, and brain. M-CSF is produced by monocytes, fibroblasts, osteoclasts, stromal cells, endothelial cells, and tumor cells (Chockalingam and Ghosh). M-CSF exerts its biological effects by signaling through a receptor tyrosine kinase (CSF-1R or M-CSF-R) encoded by the c-fms proto-oncogene (Hamilton). CSF-1R shares similar structural features with other growth factor receptors, including the stem cell factor (SCF) receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R), and Flt3/Flk-2 receptor tyrosine kinase. Stimulation of the CSF-1R upon binding to M-CSF activates MAPK, PI3K, and PLCγ signaling pathways (Chockalingam and Ghosh). Human and mouse M-CSF sequences are highly conserved both at nucleotide and amino acid levels (80% homology; DeLamarter et al.).

Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) is the founding member of the family of cytokines that includes Interleukin 17B through Interleukin 17F. It is a potent proinflammatory cytokine that plays a key role in defense against pathogens. IL-17A and IL-17F signal as homodimers or heterodimers through the same receptor, and activate NF-kB, MAPK, and C/EBP pathways (Gaffen). IL-17A receptor is expressed on a variety of cell types, including hematopoietic cell compartments. IL-17A is produced by T helper 17 cells, CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, natural killer T cells, B cells, neutrophils, innate lymphoid cells and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs; Zenobia and amp; Hajishengallis; Mojsilovic et al.). IL-17A receptor is expressed at particularly high levels on stromal cells, including MSCs. IL-17A increases the frequency and the average size of colony-forming units-fibroblast derived from bone marrow, as well as the proliferation of bone marrow-derived MSCs. IL-17A suppresses osteogenic differentiation and bone formation of bone marrow-derived MSCs. The action of IL-17A on hematopoiesis is deeply reliant on the microenvironment and the induction of other regulators. In healthy mouse bone marrow, IL-17A stimulates myeloid and early stage erythroid progenitor cells but inhibits late stage erythroid progenitor cells (Mojsilovic et al.).

Myostatin is a member of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily that signals by binding to activin type II receptor, resulting in the recruitment of either ALK3 or ALK4 coreceptor, and activation of SMAD2/3 (Kondás et al.). It is released by myocytes and inhibits muscle growth and ability to regenerate (Lee and Lee). Myostatin appears to affect the lipid catabolic metabolism of adipocytes and inhibits preadipocyte differentiation, as demonstrated in the 3T3-L1 cell line (Li 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.).

Interleukin 5 (IL-5) is a member of the short-chain 4-α-helical bundle subset of hematopoietic cytokines. It binds to the specific α receptor, which in turn recruits the common β receptor that initiates signaling via JAK/STAT and MAPK pathways. IL-5 is produced by Th2 cells, eosinophils, activated mast cells, and ILC2 cells. IL-5 affects the differentiation, activation, and survival of eosinophils, thus playing an important role in allergic inflammation, asthma, and parasite immunity. Stimulation of eosinophils with IL-5 leads to their activation, upregulation of CD11b expression, and inhibition of apoptosis (Shearer).

Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 4 (IGFBP-4) inhibits the actions of IGF-I and IGF-II. The distribution of IGFBP-4 in tissues is dependent on its glycosylation state, however it preferentially targets connective tissue (Firth and Baxter; Qin et al.). IGFBP-4 is also produced in liver, adrenal glands, Leydig cells, developing embryos, spinal cord, and thymic cortex. IGFBP-4 inhibits WNT/β-catenin signaling, which downregulates prostate cancer proliferation (Zhu et al.). In vitro studies suggest that IGFBP-4 inhibits proliferation of neuroblastoma and glioma, while promoting bone loss in osteosarcoma and multiple myeloma (Durai et al.).

Sonic hedgehog (Shh) is a member of the Hedgehog family of secreted signaling proteins that has a prominent role in patterning during early mammalian development (Ho and Scott). It is expressed during early embryogenesis in a variety of tissues (Finco et al.). During patterning of the central nervous system, Shh directly acts on cells to specify neural cell fates, regulates proliferation and survival of oligodendrocytes precursors and neural crest cells and stimulates proliferation, differentiation and axon growth (Ho and Scott; Martí). Shh also regulates T cell differentiation and activation (Crompton et al.). Recombinant human Shh (C24II; rhShh) is a fully biologically active molecule.

Fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF-5) is a secreted, heparin-binding member of the FGF subfamily. FGFs possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are expressed during embryonic development. FGF-5 is expressed in the mesenchyme, skeletal muscles, central nervous systems, and hair follicles. FGF-5 promotes cell differentiation and proliferation by binding FGF receptor 1 and FGF receptor 2 (FGFR1 and FGFR2, respectively). FGF-5 plays an important regulatory role in skeletal muscle development. FGF-5 has also been identified in neurons of the limbic system, especially those of the olfactory bulb and pyramidal cells of the hippocampus (Haub and Goldfarb).

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.
