Tumor necrosis factor potentiates central vagal afferent signaling by modulating ryanodine channels.
Disease processes such as infection, leukemia, and autoimmune disorders are often associated with nausea, emesis, and anorexia. A common denominator of these rather disparate states is the production of the early, proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) in significant quantities. Recent studies have shown that TNF may act as a neuromodulator in the hindbrain to produce malais...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor activation of vagal afferent terminal calcium is blocked by cannabinoids.
The early proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is released in significant quantities by the activated immune system in response to infection, leukemia, autoimmune disorders, and radiation sickness. Nausea, emesis, and anorexia are common features of these disorders. TNF action on vagal afferent terminals in the brainstem is a likely cause of the malaise associated with these dis...
متن کاملNMDA channels control meal size via central vagal afferent terminals.
The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) ion channel blocker MK-801 administered systemically or as a nanoliter injection into the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS), increases meal size. Furthermore, we have observed that ablation of the NTS abolishes increased meal size following systemic injection of dizocilpine (MK-801) and that MK-801-induced increases in intake are attenuated in rats pretreated w...
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 کاملBowel Necrosis Induced by Tumor Necrosis Factor
We have developed a rat model of ischemic bowel necrosis associated with shock by injection of platelet-activating factor (PAF) or a combination of PAF and endotoxin. Recent investigations have shown that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) also induces shock and necrosis of the gastrointestinal tract. The morphological changes of TNF-induced bowel lesions are indistinguishable from those caused by PAF...
