Expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha--converting enzyme and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human myocarditis.
OBJECTIVES We determined whether tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) is expressed with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in myocarditis. BACKGROUND Tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme, which has recently been identified as belonging to the family of metalloproteinase disintegrin proteins, is responsible for the conversion of TNF-alpha precursor to its mature f...
متن کاملEvaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis
Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor and anti-tumor necrosis factor therapies.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID). As a result, the inhibition of TNF is an important therapeutic avenue in the treatment of these pathophysiologically diverse disease states. This section discusses TNF, its receptors, and its role in immunoregulation and inflammation, as well as the currently available anti-TNF-...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor expression in human epithelial tumor cell lines.
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a monokine with in vitro cytotoxicity for some but not all tumor cells. The basis for sensitivity and resistance to the antitumor effects of this agent remains unclear. The present studies have monitored the effects of TNF on 14 epithelial tumor cell lines. Eleven of these cell lines were resistant to the growth inhibitory effects of TNF (50% inhibitory concentrat...
متن کاملEndometriosis Classification and The Role of Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Polymorphisms as A Therapeutic Target
In the recent original research published on International Journal of Fertility and Sterility the association between tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) genetic polymorphisms and endometriosis in 150 Iranian patients suffered this disease. The authors notably found a lower frequency of TNF-α -863C/A allele A among the affected patients in comparison with healthy women, although this difference...
