Biochem/physiol Actions

Oncostatin M (OSM), LIF, G-CSF, IL-6, and CNTF are structurally related members of the same cytokine family sharing similarities in their primary amino acid sequences, predicted secondary structure, and receptor components. OSM is a growth-regulating cytokine, affecting a number of tumor and normal cells. This material was first identified by its ability to inhibit the growth of A375 melanoma cells and other human tumor cells, but not inhibit the growth of normal human fibroblasts. It acts synergistically with TGF β1 to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells like A375 melanoma cells. It induces an increase in LDL receptor expression and LDL uptake by hepatoma cells. OSM activates synovial fibroblast-like cells to produce urokinase type plasminogen activator. OSM is secreted by macrophages and activated T lymphocytes.

Physical form

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 1x PBS.

Analysis Note

The activity was determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of human TF-1 cells (humanerythroleukemic indicator cell line)

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are strongly associated with tumor progression and have been used as novel cell-based agents to deliver anticancer drugs to tumors. However, controversies about the direct involvement of MSCs in tumor progression suggest that MSCs mediate tumor

Cardiomyocytes continuously generate the contractile force to circulate blood through the body. Imbalances in contractile performance or energy supply cause adaptive responses of the heart resulting in adverse rearrangement of regular structures, which in turn might lead to heart failure.
