Decorin (DCN) is a secreted chondroitin/dermatan sulfate proteoglycan in the family of small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs). Decorin regulates assembly of the extracellular collagen matrix and the bioactivity of the matrix associated growth factors such as FGF2, GDF8/Myostatin, TGFβ and WISP1. It also binds and activates EGFR, ErbB4 and IGFI-R.

Interleukin-29 (IL-29; IFN-λ1) is a cytokine with immunomodulatory activity. IL-29 plays an important role in host defenses against microbes and its gene is highly upregulated in cells infected with viruses. IL-29 may play a role in antiviral immunity.

C-X3-C motif Chemokine 1 (CX3CL1; Fractalkine) is a single-pass type I membrane protein which belongs to the intercrine delta family. The protein may play a role in regulating leukocyte adhesion and migration processes at the endothelium.

Growth Differentiation Factor 15 (GDF-15), also called Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine 1 (MIC-1), is a divergent member of the TGF-beta superfamily. GDF15 was shown to inhibit proliferation of primitive hematopoietic progenitors and introduced as a putative placental mediator of embryonic development.
Interleukin-13 is an immunoregulatory cytokine produced primarily by activated Th2 cells.It is involved in several stages of B-cell maturation and differentiation. It up-regulates CD23 and MHC class II expression, and promotes IgE isotype switching of B cells.
Interleukin-4 (IL-4) regulates diverse T and B cell responses including cell proliferation, survival and gene expression. IL-4 is produced by mast cells, T cells, and bone marrow stromal cells. Another dominant function of IL-4 is the regulation of immunoglobulin class switching to the IgG1 and IgE isotypes.
Bone Morphogenetic Protein-9 (BMP-9), also known as Growth differentiation factor 2 (GDF2), is an extracellular multifunctional cytokine that is also a member of the TGF-β family. BMP-9/GDF-2 selectively signals through ACVRL1 in endothelial cells. Additionally, it engages in high-affinity interactions with ENG, forming a heterotetramer or a heteromeric...
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF1) belongs to the family of insulin-like growth factors that are structurally homologous to proinsulin. IGF-I induces the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of a wide variety of cell types during development and postnatally. It plays an important role in muscle regeneration and tumor progression. IGF-I binds...
