Interleukin 33 (IL-33) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine from the IL-1 family. It binds to the ST2 receptor and activates NF-kB and MAPK pathways. IL-33 is expressed by epithelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and fibroblasts in various tissues and organs, as well as resting basophils, mast cells, eosinophils, natural helper cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells, dendritic cells, and activated macrophages (Schmitz et al.; Yasuda et al.). It contributes to allergic inflammation by stimulating production of the cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 in Th2 cells, and stimulates host defense against microbial and viral infections (Liew; Yasuda et al.). In the central nervous system, IL-33 is produced by endothelial cells and astrocytes. It induces proliferation of microglia and mediates production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (Yasuoka et al.).

Conveniently and consistently add transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-ꞵ1) to your cultures with this cell culture-ready formulation. This human recombinant TGF-ꞵ1 is precisely reconstituted to 0,1 mg/ml in 100 mM acetic acid and requires no additional preparation, improving reproducibility. Endotoxin levels are verified, using the LAL method to ensure consistency for use across multiple applications. A member of the TGF-β superfamily, TGF-β1 regulates diverse cellular phenotypes. TGF-β1 binds to serine-threonine kinase type I and II receptors and activates signal transduction through SMAD2/3 proteins.

Fetuin B is thought to have functions in female fertility, metabolism, and liver disease. A protease inhibitor belonging to the fetuin family of proteins, within the cystatin superfamily, fetuin b’s structure includes two cystatin domains (CY1 and CY2) connected by a linker, with a CPDCP-trunk and a C-terminal region (CTR) (Cuppari et al.). This plasma protein originates in the liver (Denecke et al.) and acts to inhibit the activity of ovastacin, a metalloprotease that causes the zona pellucida to harden, leading to female infertility (Karmilin et al.). Fetuin B has also been reported to increase apoptosis, and inhibit migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells, in in vitro and in vivo settings (Zhan et al.). Elevated serum fetuin B has been linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) (Zhu et al.). This protein contains a His-residue tag at the carboxyl end of the polypeptide chain. For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, apolipoprotein H from STEMCELL comes lyophilised with ≥92% purity, and is verified by LAL analysis to ensure endotoxin levels are ≤1,0 EU/μg protein.

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.

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that activates NF-kB, MAPK, and PI3K/AKT pathways. Activated T cells and macrophages are the primary producers of TNF-α in response to inflammation and infectious conditions. Many other cell types have been shown to produce TNF-α, among them B cells, NK cells, mast cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells, microglia, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, cardiomyocytes, and fibroblasts. TNF-α has cytotoxic effects on cancer cells in vitro by stimulating anti-tumor immuno- suppressive responses. TNF-α stimulates expression of E- and P-selectins, thus facilitating adhesion of neutrophils, monocytes, and memory T cells to activated platelets and endothelial cells (Zelová and Hosek). Other effects of TNF-α include vasodilatation and edema formation.

Interleukin 34 (IL-34) is well known for its ability to induce the formation of colony-forming unit macrophages in human bone marrow cell cultures (Foucher et al.; Wei et al.). This dimeric glycoprotein is a member of the short-chain helical hematopoietic cytokine family (Baghdadi et al.; Foucher et al.), and exists in two isoforms that differ by a single glutamine (Chen et al.; Foucher et al; Wei et al.). IL-34 interacts with M-CSF to trigger tyrosine phosphorylation of the receptor and ERK1/2 pathways. (Wang et al.; Wei et al.). It is expressed in many tissues (heart, brain, lung, liver, kidney, thymus, testes, ovary, small intestine, prostate, and colon), with the highest expression in the spleen. In combination with RANKL, IL-34 induces osteoclast differentiation (Chen et al.; Foucher et al.). IL-34 expression is decreased in Alzheimer’s disease and atopic dermatitis, while high levels of IL-34 are found in many types of cancer correlated with poor prognosis, chronic heart failure or coronary artery disease, inflammatory bowel disease, influenza A infection, during acute liver transplant rejection or in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and with rheumatoid arthritis (Baghdadi et al.). It is therefore a possible pharmacological target for treating bone or inflammatory diseases (Chen et al.). This protein contains a His-residue tag at the carboxyl end of the polypeptide chain, and the protein was purified as a homodimer consisting of 39 kDa monomers (Lin et al.).
