A human inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor alpha. [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of experimental medicine, 1988
Urine of some febrile patients exhibits a TNF-alpha inhibitory activity (TNF-alpha INH), sensitive to heat and trypsin, with an apparent mol wt of 40-60 X 10(3) and a pI range of 5.5-6.1. As for the Il-1 INH, the TNF INH activity involves a competitive mechanism of action suggesting the existence of a family of negative feedback-regulating molecules ...

Efficient presentation of soluble antigen by cultured human dendritic cells is maintained by granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor plus interleukin 4 and downregulated by tumor necrosis factor alpha

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 1994
Using granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin 4 we have established dendritic cell (DC) lines from blood mononuclear cells that maintain the antigen capturing and processing capacity characteristic of immature dendritic ...

Placental-mediated increased cytokine response to lipopolysaccharides: a potential mechanism for enhanced inflammation susceptibility of the preterm fetus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BackgroundCerebral palsy is a nonprogressive motor impairment syndrome that has no effective cure. The etiology of most cases of cerebral palsy remains unknown; however, recent epidemiologic data have demonstrated an association between fetal neurologic ...

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 ...

The role of tumor necrosis factor-α and natural killer cells in uterine artery function and pregnancy outcome in the stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Women with chronic hypertension are at increased risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. We have previously characterized the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) as a model of deficient uterine artery function and adverse ...

Tumor necrosis factor alpha and mesangial cells

open access: yesKidney International, 1992
Bacterial infections promote important alterations in immune, hemodynamic, and metabolic function which can result in irreversible shock. These changes are mediated by host-secreted cytokines rather than by direct action of the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from the cell wall of bacteria.

Role of tumor necrosis factor-α and its receptors in diesel exhaust particle-induced pulmonary inflammation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Inhalation of diesel exhaust particles (DEP) induces an inflammatory reaction in the lung. However, the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine that operates by binding to tumor

Alopecia secondary to anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha therapy [PDF]

open access: yesAnais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2015
Biologic drugs represent a substantial progress in the treatment of chronic inflammatory immunologic diseases. However, its crescent use has revealed seldom reported or unknown adverse reactions, mainly associated with anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti ...

Identification of a tumor necrosis factor-responsive element in the tumor necrosis factor alpha gene

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1991
The regulation by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) of its own promoter has been investigated by transient transfection and nuclear protein binding assays. In human K652 erythroleukemia cells TNF produced an 8-10-fold activation of the human TNF promoter linked to the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene.

Eicosanoids and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in the kidney [PDF]

open access: yesProstaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2012
The thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL) is capable of metabolizing arachidonic acid (AA) by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) and cyclooxygenase (COX) pathways and has been identified as a nephron segment that contributes to salt-sensitive hypertension. Previous studies demonstrated a prominent role for CYP450-dependent metabolism of AA to products that ...
