One special question to start with: can HIF/NFkB be a target in inflammation? [PDF]
Hypoxia and Inflammation are strictly interconnected with important consequences at clinical and therapeutic level. While cell and tissue damage due to acute hypoxia mostly leads to cell necrosis, in chronic hypoxia, cells that are located closer to ...

Tumor necrosis factor: receptors on hematopoietic cells [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a monokine that is cytotoxic/cytostatic for a variety of tumor cells and has multiple effects on normal cells. We demonstrate that normal and malignant human myeloid cells express a single class of high-affinity receptors (400 to 1,900 per cell, KD 20 to 90 pmol/L) for TNF.

JNK inhibition sensitises hepatocellular carcinoma cells but not normal hepatocytes to the TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand. [PDF]
Background: cJun terminal kinase (JNK) is constitutively activated in most hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), yet its exact role in carcinogenesis remains controversial.

Death receptor 5 expression is inversely correlated with prostate cancer progression. [PDF]
Prostate carcinoma (PCa) is one of the most common cancers in men. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been widely used to predict the outcome of PCa and screening with PSA has resulted in a decline in mortality. However, PSA is not an optimal prognostic

Natural killer cell response to chemotherapy-stressed cancer cells: Role in tumor immunosurveillance. [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphoid cells that actively prevent neoplastic development, growth, and metastatic dissemination in a process called cancer immunosurveillance.

Fetal-derived trophoblast use the apoptotic cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha-related apoptosis-inducing ligand to induce smooth muscle cell death. [PDF]
Remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries during pregnancy transforms them from high to low resistance vessels that lack vasoconstrictive properties. This process is essential to meet the demand for increased blood flow imposed by the growing fetus. Loss

Targeting tumor-necrosis factor receptor pathways for tumor immunotherapy [PDF]
With the success of ipilimumab and promise of programmed death-1 pathway-targeted agents, the field of tumor immunotherapy is expanding rapidly. Newer targets for clinical development include select members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family.
