Nur77 as a survival factor in tumor necrosis factor signaling.
The immediate-early gene Nur77, which encodes an orphan nuclear receptor, is rapidly induced by various stress stimuli, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Nur77 has been implicated in mediating apoptosis, particularly in T cells and tumor cells. We report here that Nur77 can play a role in antagonizing apoptosis in TNF signaling. Nur77 expression is strongly induced by TNF. Interestingly, u...
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...
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 receptor-mediated signaling pathways
T UMOR necrosis factor c~ (TNF) ~ and tumor necrosis factor ~ (lymphotoxin) are two cytokines produced primarily by macrophages and lymphocytes, respectively. These cytokines are recognized by the same cell surface receptors and are associated with similar biological activities. Some of the well-known TNF effects include septic shock, cytotoxicity, inflammation, and cachexia. The role of TNF in...
متن کاملIncreased Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Expression as an Inflammatory Response Indicator and a Cancer Risk in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Background: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a pro-inflammatory condition that supports the development of metabolic aberration and ovarian dysfunction. Chronic inflammation and the increased levels of androgens in this group of patients and their impact on the immune system may increase the risk of developing malignancies, including ovarian cancer. Thus, we interacted ovarian tumor cells ...
