Monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), also known as CCL2, is a member of the CC family of chemokines. The protein is primarily induced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) gene (Cochran et al.). The biological effects of MCP-1 are mediated via the specific G-protein-coupled receptor CCR2 which in turn activates signal transduction pathways leading to monocyte transmigration (Sozzani et al.). Migration of monocytes from the bloodstream across the vascular endothelium is required for routine immunological surveillance of tissues, as well as other immunomodulatory effects. MCP-1 is produced by a variety of cell types, including fibroblasts and endothelial, epithelial, smooth muscle, mesangial, astrocytic, monocytic, and microglial cells, which are important for antiviral responses in the peripheral circulations and in tissues (Cushing et al.; Deshmane et al.). MCP-1 plays a role in physiological processes such as neurogenesis, neuroprotection, and neurotransmission and has important implications in neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease, in which it is produced during neuroinflammation at the sites of lesions (Conductier et al.).

Apolipoprotein H (apo H) has been shown to promote the coagulation of blood platelets by inhibiting thrombomodulin complex and inactivating protein C (Keeling et al.), but can also act as an anticoagulant by binding thrombin and inhibiting its procoagulant effects (Pozzi et al.). Belonging to the lipid-binding apolipoprotein family, within the lipocalin superfamily, apo H is a protein constituent of plasma, with a high affinity for negatively charged phospholipids. The structure of apo H reveals four N-terminal complement control protein (CCP) modules, also known as 'sushi' domains, and a distinct fifth C-terminal domain with four antiparallel beta sheets, two alpha-helices, and an extended loop (Schwarzenbacher et al.). Apo H is the main antigen implicated in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), an autoimmune condition involving pregnancy complications and vascular thrombosis (Brusch). Studies have also reported that Apo H is involved in the progression of atherosclerosis (Harats and George). 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 ≥93% purity, and is verified by LAL analysis to ensure endotoxin levels are ≤1,0 EU/μg protein.

Use Interleukin 37 (IL-37) to inhibit the expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, and TNF-α, in a MAPK-dependent manner (Qi et al.). A secreted protein belonging to the interleukin-1 cytokine family, IL-37 acts as an anti-inflammatory alarmin, with predominant expression in monocytes, and constitutive secretion by myeloid dendritic cells (Rudloff et al.). IL-37 has been shown to limit inflammation in human blood M1 macrophages by binding to extracellular surface receptors, requiring IL-1R8 as a coreceptor (Li et al.). It also has protective effects against obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance, reducing adipogenesis and activating AMPK signaling both in vitro and in vivo (Ballak et al.). In humans, the IL-37 gene undergoes alternative splicing, resulting in multiple isoforms of the protein (Boraschi et al.). For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, Interleukin 37 from STEMCELL comes lyophilised with ≥93% purity.

Fibroblast growth factor 4 (FGF-4) is a member of the FGF superfamily (Beenken and Mohammadi). FGF-4 is expressed in pluripotent stem cells and is implicated in various stages of development and morphogenesis in a variety of organisms (Kosaka et al. 2009). FGF-4 has been shown to have an ability to promote neural stem cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation in the postnatal brain (Kosaka et al. 2006). FGF-4 has also been shown to increase the proliferation rate of mesenchymal stem cells (Farré et al.). FGF-4 supports the maintenance and self-renewal properties of human embryonic stem cells and also promotes the proliferation of these cells (Mayshar et al.). In the mouse, the Fgf4 gene also supports proliferation of the inner cell mass (ICM) and postimplantation embryos (Feldman et al.).

Interleukin 7 (IL-7) is a member of the Type I cytokine family that is critical for T and B cell development and survival. It is produced by non-hematopoietic cells in the thymus, lymphoid organs, and by bone marrow stromal cells (Lundström et al.). IL-7 binds to a receptor (IL-7R) composed of common gamma chain and IL-7Ra (CD127) and signals through the JAK/STAT and PI3K pathways. IL-7 regulates the survival of naïve and memory CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, γδ T cells, NK T cells, innate lymphoid cells, and T regulatory cells (Carrette and Surh). Although a deficiency in IL-7R still permits the generation of normal numbers of peripheral B cells in humans, stimulation of human B cell precursors with IL-7 could promote STAT-5-dependent proliferation and survival in vitro (Clark et al.; Corfe and Paige).

Butyrophilin 1A1 (BTN1A1) is a glycoprotein belonging to the butyrophilin (BTN) family which collectively modulates immune responses, through excitatory and inhibitory signals targeting immune cells. Butyrophilins are composed of two extracellular immunoglobulin domains and a transmembrane region, with a conserved B30.2 domain (PRYSPRY) that is present in most members (Malinowska et al.). BTN1A1, along with BTN2A2, has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, modify T cell metabolism, and affect the expression of IL-2 and IFN-γ (Smith et al.). Due to these modulatory effects on T cells, BTN1A1 may have a role in inhibiting the development of autoimmune diseases (Stefferl et al.). BTN1A1 is also expressed in mammary glands and is required for the secretion of milk lipids during lactation (Ogg et al.). This protein contains a His-residue tag at the carboxyl end of the polypeptide chain.

Nerve growth factor (NGF)-beta is a prototypical member of the neurotrophin family and has a role in the survival and growth of neural cells, regulating cell growth, promoting differentiation into neurons, and neuron migration. The beta subtype of NGF is biologically active in comparison to the alpha-2 and gamma-2 subtypes. NGF-beta in its secreted form can bind to tyrosine kinase A (trkA) receptor with high affinity and to p75 (NTR) with low affinity (Levi and Alemà; Sofroniew et al.). NGF has been shown to possess pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic properties (Micera et al.). It has also been shown that overexpression of NGF-beta promotes differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells into neurons through regulation of AKT and MAPK pathways (Yuan et al.). This product is animal component-free.

Use hepassocin to bind to lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) in an MHC class II independent manner, and inhibit antigen-specific T-cell activation (Wang et al.). Hepassocin is known to play a restorative role in the liver, reducing apoptosis and accelerating hepatocyte proliferation in vivo (Li et al.). In addition to these hepatoprotective effects, studies have shown that hepassocin expression is upregulated in gastric cancer tissues (Zhang et al.) and in breast cancer cells (Du et al.), suggesting it has potential to predict cancer disease progression. Hepassocin is a member of the fibrinogen superfamily, whose members share a fibrinogen domain at their C-terminus. It is predominantly expressed in the liver, and weakly in the pancreas (Hara et al.), and is secreted as a homodimer that consists of 312 amino acids. Hepassocin is an acute-phase reactant whose expression in HepG2 cells has been shown to be regulated by IL-6 (Liu and Ukomadu). This protein product contains a His-residue tag at the carboxyl end of the polypeptide chain. For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, hepassocin from STEMCELL comes lyophilised with ≥87% purity, and endotoxin levels are verified to be ≤1,0 EU/μg protein.

Interleukin 6 receptor (IL-6R) alpha is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that forms a complex with type I transmembrane signal transducer protein gp130 (CD130) and mediates the biological activities of IL-6. IL-6 binds to the membrane-bound non-signaling IL-6R alpha (mIL-6R), and the complex binds to two molecules of gp130 and leads to ‘classical’ IL-6-signal transduction, which includes activation of JAK/STAT, ERK, and PI3K signal transduction pathways (Scheller et al.). In contrast, a soluble form of IL-6R alpha (sIL-6R), which comprises the extracellular portion of the receptor, binds to the secreted IL-6 to form a complex that promotes bioavailability of IL-6. The complex of IL-6 and sIL-6R can bind to gp130 on cells that do not express the IL-6R and are unresponsive to IL-6. This process is known as trans-signaling (Hunter and Jones; Rose-John S). sIL-6R regulates both local and systemic IL-6-mediated events. Elevated levels of sIL-6R have been documented in several disease conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, myeloma, and Crohn’s disease (Jones et al.; Mihara et al.).
