Apoptotic epitope-specific CD8+ T cells and interferon signaling intersect in chronic hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]
CD8(+) T cells specific to caspase-cleaved antigens derived from apoptotic T cells represent a principal player in chronic immune activation (CIA). Here, we found that both apoptotic epitope (AE)-specific and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific CD8(+) T ...

Association of TNF-R2 (676T>G) single nucleotide polymorphism with head and neck cancer risk in the Serbian population [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) which exerts its effects through two different receptors known as TNF-R1 and TNF-R2, is a major proinflammatory cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of different types of tumors.

Lipopolysaccharide- TLR-4 Axis regulates Osteoclastogenesis independent of RANKL/RANK signaling
Background Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is an endotoxin and a vital component of gram-negative bacteria’s outer membrane. During gram-negative bacterial sepsis, LPS regulates osteoclast differentiation and activity, in addition to increasing inflammation ...

Glucocorticoid Receptor Maintains Vasopressin Responses in Kidney Collecting Duct Cells
Water permeability of the kidney collecting ducts is regulated in part by the amount of the molecular water channel protein aquaporin-2 (AQP2), whose expression, in turn, is regulated by the pituitary peptide hormone vasopressin.

Novel anti-tumour necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR1) domain antibody prevents pulmonary inflammation in experimental acute lung injury. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a pleiotropic cytokine with both injurious and protective functions, which are thought to diverge at the level of its two cell surface receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2.

UVB-induced association of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor 1/TNF receptor-associated factor-2 mediates activation of Rel proteins [PDF]
Exposure of mammalian skin to UV light results in induced gene transcription, playing a role in inflammation, immunosuppression, and tumor promotion. One important group of transcription factors induced by UV radiation is composed of members of the Rel/NF-κB family, which are known to play a major role in the transcriptional activation of many genes ...

Clinical and functional characterisation of a novel TNFRSF1A c.605T > A/V173D cleavage site mutation associated with tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic fever syndrome (TRAPS), cardiovascular complications and excellent response to etanercept treatment. [PDF]
Objectives: To study the clinical outcome, treatment response, T-cell subsets and functional consequences of a novel tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor type 1 (TNFRSF1A) mutation affecting the receptor cleavage site.

Requirement of TNF and TNF receptor type 2 for LPS-induced protection from lethal septic peritonitis [PDF]
Pretreatment of mice with low quantities of LPS induces endotoxin t olerance characterized by enhanced resistance to lethal doses of LPS and to a number of infectious challenges. M ice subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) survived the ensuing septic peritonitis significantly better when they had been pretreated with LPS.
