Characterisation of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-(alpha) response elements in the human ICAM-2 promoter.
ICAM-2 is a cell surface adhesion molecule constitutively expressed on the endothelium, involved in leukocyte recruitment into tissues. We recently showed that pro-inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-(alpha) and interleukin (IL)-1(beta) down-regulate ICAM-2 expression at the transcriptional level. Here we investigate the elements in the ICAM-2 promoter required for the TNF-(alph...
متن کاملThe effect of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) muteins on human neutrophils in vitro
Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been implicated as an important inflammatory mediator. In vitro, TNF-alpha is reported to activate human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN), inducing responses such as phagocytic activity, degranulation and oxidative metabolism. Biological responses to TNF-alpha are initiated by its binding to specific cell surface receptors, and various studies hav...
متن کاملRole of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) in host defence against tuberculosis: implications for immunotherapies targeting TNF.
Studies in mouse infection models clearly demonstrate tumour necrosis factor (TNF) to be a critical component of both the antibacterially protective and the inflammatory immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is therefore not surprising that treatment of patients-for example, those with rheumatoid arthritis-with biological agents interfering with TNF activity have shown an increased ...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor (TNF) in psoriatic arthritis: pathophysiology and treatment with TNF inhibitors.
High levels of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumour necrosis factor (TNF), have been detected in psoriatic skin lesions and joints of patients with the inflammatory disease. Early results of treatment of psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis with TNF neutralising agents are encouraging, but whether these agents will be able to improve long term outcomes, such as disability, is not yet known.
متن کاملRegulation of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) induced apoptosis by soluble TNF receptors in Helicobacter pylori infection.
BACKGROUND Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a predominant cytokine produced in the gastric mucosa of patients with Helicobacter pylori infection. TNF induces apoptosis in a variety of cells. The soluble TNF receptors (sTNF-Rs) can be divided into sTNF-RI and sTNF-RII, both of which inhibit TNF activity. However, their precise mechanisms remain unclear. AIM To investigate the role of sTNF-Rs in...
