The hepatitis B virus X protein activates nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT) by a cyclosporin A-sensitive pathway. [PDF]
The X gene product of the human hepatitis B virus (HBx) is a transcriptional activator of various viral and cellular genes. We recently have determined that the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) by HBV-infected hepatocytes is ...

Listeria Cerebritis with Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibition
Background. Listeria monocytogenes is historically a central nervous system pathogen of consideration in the very young, very old, and immune suppressed. Diagnosis of Listeria is based on positive bodily fluid culture or PCR testing.

Response to combination therapy with interferon alfa-2a and ribavirin in chronic hepatitis C according to a TNF-alpha promoter polymorphism [PDF]
Background. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is involved in the pathogenesis of chronic active hepatitis C. Polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-alpha gene can alter the TNF-alpha expression and modify the host immune response.

miR-29a suppresses MCF-7 cell growth by downregulating tumor necrosis factor receptor 1
Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 is the main receptor mediating many tumor necrosis factor-alpha–induced cellular events. Some studies have shown that tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 promotes tumorigenesis by activating nuclear factor-kappa B signaling ...

Tumor necrosis factor as a pharmacological target [PDF]
As indicated by its name, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), cloned in 1985, was originally described as a macrophage-derived endogenous mediator that can induce hemorrhagic necrosis of solid tumors and kill some tumor cell lines in vitro. Unfortunately, its promising use as an anticancer agent was biased by its toxicity, which was clear soon from the first ...

Distinct Mechanisms for Induction and Tolerance Regulate the Immediate Early Genes Encoding Interleukin 1β and Tumor Necrosis Factor α [PDF]
Interleukin-1β and Tumor Necrosis Factor α play related, but distinct, roles in immunity and disease. Our study revealed major mechanistic distinctions in the Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling-dependent induction for the rapidly expressed genes (IL1B ...

The role of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT-3) in ischaemic and pharmacological preconditioning [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 150-177).Ischemic preconditioning is a protective mechanism whereby repetitive transient ischaemia confer protection against the subsequent prolonged lethal ischaemia that is observed during myocardial ...
