Descriptions：Galectin-8 (Gal-8) is a lectin family member and is one of the tandem repeat-type galectins containing two carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD) connected by a linker region in a single peptide chain. The CRD is responsible for β-galactoside binding, and the binding partners for galectin-8 have been identified, including CD44 and a subset of integrins. Galectin-8 and integrins form complexes, subsequently leading to phosphorylation of paxillin and focal adhesion kinase (FAK), which activates signal pathways including MAPK-ERK and PI3K-AKT pathways. Galectin-8 is constitutively presented in the Liver, kidney, cardiac muscle, lung, and brain. Galectin-8 serves as an immunosuppressive protective role against autoimmune CNS inflammation, regulating the balance of Th17 and Th1 polarization.

Descriptions：Haptoglobin is a glycoprotein, which is synthesized in the liver and circulates in the blood. Haptoglobin is usually produced by liver cells, but it is also produced by other tissues, such as skin, lung and kidney. It is a positive acute phase protein, which binds to free hemoglobin and removes it from circulation to prevent kidney injury and iron loss after hemolysis. Decreased levels can be seen in hemolysis and impaired liver function. A high level is a sign of acute or chronic inflammation. Hemoglobin deficiency or hypohaptoglobinemia is caused by mutation of haptoglobin gene and/or its regulatory region. Haptoglobin is also related to diabetic nephropathy, the incidence of coronary artery disease in type 1 diabetes, Crohn's disease, inflammatory disease behavior, susceptibility to primary sclerosing cholangitis, idiopathic Parkinson's disease and the reduction of the incidence of plasmodium falciparum malaria.

Descriptions：Tumor Necrosis Factor Beta (TNF beta) or lymphotoxin-alpha (LT-α) is a 19 kDa tumor necrosis factor family protein with 171 amino acid residues. TNF beta is mainly expressed from lymphocytes, and mediates variety of inflammatory, immunostimulatory, and antiviral responses. TNF beta also involves development in secondary lymphoid organs. It is cytotoxic for different tumor cells in vitro and in vivo.

Descriptions：Interleukin 9 (IL-9) is a pleiotropic cytokine that had pleiotropic functions in the immune system, has a molecular mass of 14.5 kDa. The major source of IL-9 is T lymphocytes. It is secreted by CD4+ helper cells that acts as a regulator of a variety of hematopoietic cells.

Descriptions：Interleukin 1 receptor antagonist (IL-1RA) is a 17.26 kDa member of IL-1 family with 153 amino acid residues. IL-1RA is expressed by peripheral blood cells, lungs, spleen, liver and is secreted from monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and other cells. Inhibits the activity of interleukin-1 by binding to receptor IL1R1. IL-1RA can modulate a variety of interleukin-1 related immune and inflammatory responses, particularly in the acute phase of infection and inflammation.

Descriptions：C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) also named Interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL10 is a 8.55 kDa protein containing 77 amino acid residues. CXCL10 is produced by the several cell types like monocytes and endothelial cells, which are responsed for IFNγ. CXCL10 is a chemotaxis for T cells, NK cells and macrophages. CXCL10 also binds the CXCR3 that induces the cell migration and activation like T cells and dendritic cells.

Descriptions：Bone Morphogenetic Protein-13 (BMP-13), known as Growth differentiation factor 6 (GDF6), is an extracellular multifunctional cytokine that is also a member of the TGFβ family. BMP-13 can bind with the TGFβ receptor and induce SMAD protein signal transduction. BMP-13 is a regulatory protein that can affect the growth and differentiation of developing embryos. Moreover, it plays a role in regulating the patterning of the ectoderm and controlling eye development.
