We have recently demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) potentiates interleukin 3 (IL-3) and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor-induced growth of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), and favors the generation of dendritic/Langerhans cells. The stimulatory effect of TNF-alpha was detailed in the present study. Thus, CD34+ HPC entering in cycle (S/G2M) afte...
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by a variety of cells, including hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells, malignant cells, macrophages, B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, neutrophils, astrocytes, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. TNF-α is a homo-trimeric molecular whose individual subunits are composed of antiparallel beta...
The expression of the gene encoding tumor necrosis factor /3 (TNF-P) (lymphotoxin) is induced in T cells by various extracellular stimuli. We noticed that most such stimuli also activate the NF-KB transcription factor. Here we demonstrate binding of purified human NF-KB to a sequence within positions 98 to -88 (S-GGGGCTTCCCC-3’) of the TNF-P promoter, which is conserved between the human and mo...

BACKGROUND Pentraxin 3 is proposed to be a marker of inflammation and cardiovascular risk, but its role in inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) is still uncertain. Therefore, we wanted to examine if anti-rheumatic treatment reduced serum PTX3 (s-PTX3) levels in IRDs, and if s-PTX3 levels were related to other markers of inflammation and to endothelial function (EF). METHODS We examined s-PT...
BACKGROUND Glycerol monolaurate (GML), a 12 carbon fatty acid monoester, inhibits Staphylococcus aureus growth and exotoxin production, but is degraded by S. aureus lipase. Therefore, dodecylglycerol (DDG), a 12 carbon fatty acid monoether, was compared in vitro and in vivo to GML for its effects on S. aureus growth, exotoxin production, and stability. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Antimicro...
Endotoxemia (LPS) can exacerbate ischemic tubular injury and acute renal failure (ARF). The present study tested the following hypothesis: that acute ischemic damage sensitizes the kidney to LPS-mediated TNF-alpha generation, a process that can worsen inflammation and cytotoxicity. CD-1 mice underwent 15 min of unilateral renal ischemia. LPS (10 mg/kg iv), or its vehicle, was injected either 45...
BACKGROUND Recognition of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is required for effective defense against invading gram-negative bacteria. Recently, in vitro studies revealed that CD14 is required for activation of the myeloid differentiation factor (MyD)88-dependent Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 signaling pathway by smooth (S)-LPS, but not by rough (R)-LPS. The present study investigated the role of CD14 in in...
مولتیپل اسکلروزیس (ms) یک بیماری عصبی با واسطه ایمنی است که در آن از بین رفتن میلین سلولهای عصبی روی می دهد و بیماری فرساینده دستگاه عصبی مرکزی(cns) است. هیچ آنتی ژن هدف مخصوصی که به وسیله سیستم ایمنی بیماران ms مورد حمله قرار گیرد هنوز شناخته نشده است. علت بیماری ms هنوز شناخته شده نیست. عقیده بر این است که این بیماری با فاکتورهای میکروبی، ژنتیکی و یا محیطی ارتباط دارد. مولتیپل اسکلروزیس به عن...
Some in vivo observations have suggested that growing or perturbed endothelium, such as that which occurs during angiogenesis, is more sensitive to the action of cytokines (TNF/cachectin, TNF, or IL-1) than normal quiescent endothelial cells. This led us to examine the responsiveness of endothelium to TNF as a function of the growth/motile state of the cell. TNF-induced modulation of endothelia...
