Inositol 1,3,4-Trisphosphate 5/6-Kinase Inhibits Tumor Necrosis Factor-induced Apoptosis

Tunicamycin potently inhibits tumor necrosis factor-induced hepatocyte apoptosis.

The protein glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin protected male BALB/c mice from tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced liver failure. Tunicamycin also inhibited tumor necrosis factor-induced cell death in primary hepatocyte cultures with a median inhibitory concentration of 8 nM, but not in the tumor cell line WEHI 164 clone 13. Hepatocyte death in our culture system was characterized by DNA fragm...

Hypoxia inhibits tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-induced apoptosis by blocking Bax translocation.

The hypoxic environment in solid tumors results from oxygen consumption by rapid proliferation of tumor cells. Hypoxia has been shown to facilitate the survival of tumor cells and to be a cause of malignant transformation. Hypoxia also is well known to attenuate the therapeutic activity of various therapies in cancer management. These observations indicate that hypoxia plays a critical role in ...

Erythromycin Inhibits Tumor Necrosis Factor

Tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis-induced neurodegeneration.

Tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family of cytokines. It has proangiogenic and proinflammatory properties in vivo and induces cell death in tumor cell lines. TWEAK effects are mediated by the membrane receptor Fn14. In a systematic search for genes regulated in a murine stroke model with the tag-sequencing technique mass...

Tumor Necrosis Factor- –Induced Apoptosis in Murine Cytomegalovirus Retinitis

METHODS. The left eyes of nonimmunosuppressed (non-IS) BALB/c mice, immunosuppressed (IS) BALB/c mice, TNFR1 / C57BL/6 mice, and wild-type C57BL/6 mice were inoculated with MCMV k181 by way of the supraciliary route. On postinoculation days 3, 7, and 10, injected eyes of non-IS control and IS experimental mice were removed for RT-PCR for TNFand TNFR1. Protein expression of TNF, caspase-8, and c...
