Expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha--converting enzyme and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human myocarditis.

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2000
We determined whether tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) is expressed with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in myocarditis.Tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme, which has recently been identified as belonging to the family of metalloproteinase disintegrin proteins, is responsible for the conversion of TNF-alpha ...

Tumor necrosis factor alpha in mycobacterial infection

Seminars in Immunology, 2014
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a critical immune mediator in protection against and pathology of tuberculosis (TB). TNF-α had been found to be associated with TB when it was originally identified as cachexin and until today TB research continues to unveil novel roles of this cytokine of highest relevance for the disease process and for novel ...

Role of tumor necrosis factor alpha in asthma

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2004
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease in which various cytokines orchestrate airway inflammation. Tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the modulation of inflammation in various diseases, including asthma. Although TNF-alpha blocking strategies have been an effective therapeutic modality in diseases such

[Tumor necrosis factor alpha].

Schweizerische Rundschau fur Medizin Praxis = Revue suisse de medecine Praxis, 1992
TNF-alpha (Cachectin) is a cytokine (tissue hormone) synthesized and secreted as a trimeric polypeptide; major producers are the cells of the RES after stimulation, e.g. by endotoxin. Its synthesis is strictly regulated. TNF elicits a great number of cell-specific responses. IL-1 and probably additional mediators cooperate in these effects.

Production of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and Hemodialysis

Nephron, 2008
The production of TNFα by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was determined in 18 hemodialysis (HD) patients. Blood was taken from each patient before and after an HD treatment. Both pre- and post-HD PBMC produced significantly more TNFα than controls (TNFα units/ml; mean ± SEM; controls 3.1 ± 0.7; pre-HD 9.7 ± 3.9; post-HD 19.8 ± 7.7, p < 0 ...

Tumor Necrosis Factor α and Toxicology

Critical Reviews in Toxicology, 1999
The molecular cloning of a group of proteins, collectively referred to as cytokines, and including interleukins, chemokines, growth factors, colony stimulating factors, and tumor necrosis factors, has allowed for the increased understanding of the mechanisms for many disease processes as well as provided strategies for the development of novel ...

Mechanism of Antitumor Activity of Tumor Necrosis Factor   With Hyperthermia in a Tumor Necrosis Factor  -Resistant Tumor

JNCI Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1990
Cells from a radiation-induced fibrosarcoma (RIF-1) are exceedingly resistant to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in vitro. We tested whether the addition of mild hyperthermia (42.5 degrees C, 30 minutes) could enhance TNF-alpha activity against RIF-1 tumors growing in syngeneic hosts (C3H mice). TNF-alpha was administered intratumorally.

Bioassay for Tumor Necrosis Factors-alpha and -beta

Molecular Biotechnology, 2000
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a central cytokine in the pathogenesis of septic shock and other inflammatory states. Assay by immunoassay is convenient, but, because of circulating soluble receptors, does not accurately reflect biological activity of the cytokine.

Serum Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha in Neonatal Sepsis

American Journal of Perinatology, 1997
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is thought to be an important mediator in the pathogenesis of neonatal septicemia. To assess the role of TNF-alpha in neonatal sepsis, serum levels of TNF-alpha were measured in a group of neonates with septicemia and compared with the levels of gestational-postnatal, age-matched healthy controls.

Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Antagonist-Induced Sarcoidosis

JCR: Journal of Clinical Rheumatology, 2010
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is an important player in granuloma formation, and recent clinical trials have investigated the efficacy of TNF-alpha inhibitors in sarcoidosis. Paradoxically, there are several case reports in the medical literature describing the development of ...
