TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR ALPHA (TNF-a)
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF, TNFSF2) is an important multifunctional cytokine that regulates inflammation, host defense, immune responses, and apoptosis. TNF exists as a membrane-bound 26kDa, type II integral membrane protein, and a 17kDa soluble homotrimeric TNF that is generated via proteolytic cleavage by TNF-a converting enzyme (TACE, ADAM17). Both the membrane-bound and soluble forms ...
متن کاملRoles of tumor necrosis factor p55 and p75 receptors in TNF-alpha-induced vascular permeability.
We have investigated the role of p55 and p75 tumor necrosis factor receptors 1 and 2 (TNFR1 and TNFR2, respectively) in TNF-induced alteration of endothelial permeability in vitro and in vivo. Stimulation of TNFR1 with an agonist antibody or a receptor-selective TNF mutein increased the flux of (125)I-albumin through endothelial cell monolayers. An antagonist anti-TNFR1 antibody, but not antago...
متن کاملSoluble receptors for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-R p55 and TNF-R p75) in familial combined hyperlipidemia.
We investigated the potential role of the 75 kD receptor for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) (TNFRSF1B, located on chromosome 1 band p36.2) as a modifier gene in familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH), based on previous linkage and association data. Age-corrected values for the soluble (s) extracellular domain of TNF-R p75 were lower in 156 well-characterized hyperlipidemic (HL) FCH rel...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha directly inhibits human erythropoiesis in vitro: role of p55 and p75 TNF receptors.
Two tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFRs) with molecular weights of 55 kD (TNFR-p55) and 75 kD (TNFR-p75) have recently been identified and cloned. In previous studies, TNFR-p55 has been shown to exclusively mediate bidirectional effects of TNF-alpha on committed bone marrow granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells, whereas both TNFR-p55 and TNFR-p75 can mediate inhibition of primitive progeni...
متن کاملThe Role of Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF- ) in Skeletal Muscle Regeneration: Studies in TNF- (- -) and TNF- (- -) LT- (- -) Mice
The role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), an important mediator of the inflammatory response after injury, was investigated in regenerating skeletal muscle. The pattern of expression of TNFduring muscle regeneration was examined by immunohistochemistry in tissue sections of crush-injured or transplanted muscle autografts and in primary cultures of adult skeletal muscle. TNFwas highly expre...
