Epigenetic Regulation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is a potent cytokine which regulates inflammation via the induction of adhesion molecules and chemokine expression. Its expression is known to be regulated in a complex manner with transcription, message turnover, message splicing, translation, and protein cleavage from the cell surface all being independently ...

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

Locally up-regulated lymphotoxin a, not systemic tumor necrosis factor a, is the principle mediator of murine cerebral malaria [PDF]
Cerebral malaria (CM) causes death in children and nonimmune adults. TNF-{alpha} has been thought to play a key role in the development of CM. In contrast, the role of the related cyto-kine lymphotoxin {alpha} (LT{alpha}) in CM has been overlooked.

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

Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha-Mediated Asthma? [PDF]
Thus the pathophysiology of allergic asthma is traditionally explained by mast celland/or Th2 cell-mediated airway inflammation, which is a manifestation of the acquired immune response. On the other hand, recent studies have identified various other important molecules associated with phenotypes of asthma, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)[2, 3] ,

Evaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis [PDF]
Background The pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), is a pathogenic element for a number of disorders. Previous studies have reported that the -1031 T/C and -238 G/A polymorphisms in the promoter region of the TNF-α gene are ...

Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Contributes to Ischemia- and Reperfusion-Induced Endothelial Activation in Isolated Hearts [PDF]
During myocardial reperfusion, polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) adhesion involving the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) may lead to aggravation and prolongation of reperfusion injury.
