Associations of Tnf with chemical compounds

  • Taken together, these results suggest that differential TNF-alpha gene expression in response to LPS and IFN-gamma is strain and cell specific, and reflects both transcriptional and post-transcriptional control mechanisms.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)[1]
  • The differential TNF-alpha production by astrocytes from BN and Lewis strains is not due to the suppressive effect of prostaglandins, because the addition of indomethacin does not alter the differential pattern of TNF-alpha expression [1].
  • IGF-I inhibited, in a concentration-dependent manner, the production of nitrite and L-citrulline evoked by IL-1 beta or TNF-alpha [22].
  • Exogenous H(2)O(2) caused modest stimulation of TNF-alpha synthesis, did not affect the synthesis of NO or IL-6, and did not activate NF-kappaB or MAPKs [23].
  • Studies using an anti-type IIA sPLA2 antibody, sPLA2 inhibitors, and a type IIA sPLA2-specific antisense oligonucleotide revealed that IL-1 beta/TNF alpha-induced delayed PGE2 generation by these cells was largely dependent on inducible type IIA sPLA2, which was functionally linked to inducible COX-2 [24].
 

Physical interactions of Tnf

 

Enzymatic interactions of Tnf

 

Co-localisations of Tnf

  • TNF receptors TNFRI and TNFRII co-localized with biotinylated TNF-alpha tracer along the nerve trunk, suggesting that TNF-alpha transport may be receptor-mediated [32].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Tnf

  • Kupffer cell activation plays a pivotal role in reperfusion injury, and Kupffer cell products, including free radicals and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), are implicated as damaging agents [18].
  • However, TNF-alpha exposure of the cultures induced the expression of several inflammatory mediators, as determined by reverse transcription-PCR and ELISA [40].
  • ICAM-1 ligation by a mAb to rat ICAM-1 induced mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and TNF-alpha [41].
  • Northern blot analysis revealed a marked increase in the mRNA levels of p105, a precursor of p50, 6 h after TNF-alpha and a gradual increase in p65 mRNA levels during the initial 1 h [2].
  • Electrophoretic mobility shift assay revealed that the activation of the p50-p65 heterodimer NF-kappaB was induced by TNF-alpha as early as 15 minutes followed by a persistent activation for 48 h [2].
