IL - 33 is a cytokine, a small protein that signals immune cells such as T cells to travel to a site of infection or injury.

They have detected, for example, revved up signaling molecules involved in inflammation, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and other cytokines; skewed populations of natural killer cells and other immune cells; imbalances in the protein - destroying enzymes called proteases; and a shortening of the telomeres, the «end caps» on chromosomes, which indicates prematurely aged cells.

Exchange protein activated by cyclic AMP (Epac)- mediated induction of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS - 3) in vascular endothelial cells.

Cytokines are small proteins used for cell signaling.

The Raf ‐ 1 kinase inhibitor protein participates in the pathogenesis of IL ‐ 17 ‐ mediated autoimmune diseases and inflammation by promoting the formation of the IL ‐ 17RA ‐ Act1 complex, required for downstream signaling and cytokine production.

A single mutation was identified in the protein non-receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), which promotes cytokine signalling during infection.

Using NPCs, Silva et al. delineated two phases in the reprogramming process (pre-pluripotency and ground state pluripotency) and demonstrated that dual inhibition (2i) of mitogen - activated protein kinase (MAKP) signaling and glycogen synthase kinase - 3 (GSK3) signaling combined with the self - renewal cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) promotes pre-pluripotent cells to ground state pluripotency [19].

In leukemic cells, like in other cancers, STAT proteins are frequently constitutively activated in the absence of cytokine stimulation, providing malignant cells with persistent signals and self - sufficiency for survival and proliferation.1

In 2005, the identification of an activating mutation in JAK2 (the V617F mutation) as a STAT5 - activating and disease - causing genetic alteration in a significant proportion of patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) has emphasized the oncogenic role of the JAK tyrosine kinases in hematologic malignancies.2 — 5 JAK2 is a member of the Janus tyrosine kinase family comprising three other mammalian non-receptor tyrosine kinases (JAK1, JAK3 and TYK2) that associate with cytokine receptors lacking intrinsic kinase activity to mediate cytokine - induced signal transduction and activation of STAT transcription factors.6 All JAKs share a similar protein structure and contain a tyrosine kinase domain at the C - terminus flanked by a catalytically inactive pseudokinase domain with kinase - regulatory activity, by an atypical SH2 domain and by a FERM domain that mediates association to the membrane - proximal region of the cytokine receptors.7, 8 Soon after the discovery of JAK2 V617F, we and others described that activating JAK1 mutations are relatively common in adult patients with T - cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and participate in ALL development allowing for constitutive activation of STAT5.9 — 11 Several STAT5 - activating JAK1 mutations were also reported in AML and breast cancer patients.10
