Mechanisms of action of anti-TNF-α antibodies in inflammatory bowel disease and their clinical implications: an update
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mechanisms of action of anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-α) antibodies in therapy for inflammatory bowel disease are incompletely understood. Binding of antibodies to transmembrane TNF seems to be crucial for the induction of several cellular responses, including complement-dependent cytotoxicity, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and reverse signaling. However significant, these processes alone do not fully explain the diversity of therapeutic responses seen in different patients. Thus, in this review we also explore some new and less frequently discussed aspects of anti-TNF-α blockade. In particular, a complex role of macrophages, T regulatory cells and intestinal endothelial cells is presented. We also discuss the clinical relevance of responses attributed to the Fc region of anti-TNF-α antibodies.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an irregular response of immune system accompanied with different inflammatory manifestations including alterations in cytokines. Probiotics are non-pathogenic organisms with probable effects in various conditions such as inflammation. The present study hypothesized whether oral intake of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus in form of probiotic yogurt may ...

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is an inflammatory cytokine which plays crucial roles in pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. The current study aimed to investigate the binding abilities of I44 and I49 domain antibodies to TNF-α. The dAbs were expressed in bacterial expression system and purified by affinity chromatography using Ni-sepharose column. The expression and purity of the protei...
