Tumor necrosis factor receptor periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is characterized by episodes of fever of more than 10 days of duration, migratory myalgias, pseudocellulitis, abdominal pain and bipalpebral edema.

Reduction of circulating cholesterol and apolipoprotein levels during sepsis [PDF]
Sepsis with multiple organ failure is frequently associated with a substantial decrease of cholesterol levels. This decrease of cholesterol is strongly associated with mortality suggesting a direct relation between inflammatory conditions and altered ...

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha and its receptors in epithelial ovarian cancer.
The aim of the present study was to characterize the expression pattern of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and its receptors (TNF-Rs) in the epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and compare these results with the outcome of 126 patients.

Interactions of Tumor Necrosis Factor–Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) with the Immune System: Implications for Inflammation and Cancer [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the TNF superfamily. TRAIL has historically been distinct from the Fas ligand and TNFα in terms of selective apoptosis induction in tumor cells and has a nearly non ...

The TRAIL-receptor-1: TRAIL-receptor-3 and -4 ratio is a predictor for TRAIL sensitivity of cancer cells [PDF]
The tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a potent inducer of apoptosis in many cancer cells. However, a significant proportion of tumours are TRAIL-resistant erecting a major hurdle for a successful TRAIL-based treatment ...

Glaucomatous neurodegeneration: An eye on tumor necrosis factor-alpha
Glaucoma, a neurodegenerative disease, is currently being treated by modulation of one of its primary risk factors, the elevated intraocular pressure. Newer therapies that can provide direct neuroprotection to retinal ganglion cells are being extensively

Pathogens and Dead Cells Cooperate with Cytokines in Activating the Innate and Adaptive Response
After microbial invasion and tissue damage, a set of cytokines, including interleukin-1α (IL-1α), IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and microbial and endogenous molecules named pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMPs) and ...

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.

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.

Molecular cloning, expression analysis and assignment of the porcine tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 10 gene (TNFSF10) to SSC13q34 -> q36 by fluorescence in situ hybridization and radiation hybrid mapping [PDF]
We have cloned the complete coding region of the porcine TNFSF10 gene. The porcine TNFSF10 cDNA has an ORF of 870 nucleotides and shares 85 % identity with human TNFSF10, and 75% and 72% identity with rat and mouse Tnfsf10 coding sequences, respectively.
