High impact information on TNF

  • In vitro, TNF-alpha stimulates chemotaxis of bovine adrenal capillary endothelial cells and induces cultures of these cells grown on type-1 collagen gels to form capillary-tube-like structures [6].
  • We show here that tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a secretory product of activated macrophages that is believed to mediate tumour cytotoxicity, is a potent inducer of new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) [6].
  • In vivo, TNF-alpha induces capillary blood vessel formation in the rat cornea and the developing chick chorioallantoic membrane at very low doses [6].
  • The angiogenic activity produced by activated murine peritoneal macrophages is completely neutralized by a polyclonal antibody to TNF-alpha, suggesting immunological features are common to TNF-alpha and the protein responsible for macrophage-derived angiogenic activity [6].
  • The mechanisms underlying this change in the affinity of endothelium for TNF were studied in four settings [7].

Other interactions of TNF

  • Enhanced SEMA5A induces expression of at least nine genes related to the host's immune response, including TNF-alpha and IL-8 [27].
  • Variables measured included expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-10, IL-12, transforming growth factor-beta, and suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS-3); apoptosis of monocytes; acidification of phagosomes; and killing of MAP [28].
  • Although IL-2 mRNA expression in ConA-stimulated PBMC from newborn calves was weaker than that in those from adult cows of ConA-stimulated controls, the expression levels became comparable after pretreatment with IL-1beta, TNF-alpha or IFN-gamma [29].
  • Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), which destabilizes eNOS mRNA, increased the binding activity of the cytosolic proteins in a time-dependent manner [22].
  • RT-PCR analysis of cytokine expression by T cell lines which were dominated by gammadelta T cells revealed expression of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, TNF-beta, IL-2Ralpha transcripts [30].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of TNF

  • Quantitation of the cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-8 and IL-10 in bovine milk using real-time TaqMan PCR [31].
  • Among the agents likely to be present in such supernatants are monocyte-derived tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and lymphocyte-derived tumor necrosis factor (TNF-beta) (lymphotoxin), both of which have recently been shown to stimulate bone resorption in organ culture [20].
  • Finally, the WEHI 164 (clone 13) bioassay was used to show that Lkt/LPS synergism resulted in enhanced secretion of biologically active TNF-alpha [32].
  • Northern blot analysis of total RNA showed that P. haemolytica induced early, abundant, and consistent synthesis of IL-1, TNF-alpha, and IL-8 mRNA [33].
  • METHOD: The effects of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-8 were tested using cell viability assay, DNA fragmentation analysis (DNA laddering), Western blot analysis (Anti-poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase [PARP] antibody), and caspase-3 activity [24].
