Activated Langerhans cells release tumor necrosis factor.
Langerhans cells act as antigen-presenting cells in immune reactions in the skin. What other roles they may play in inflammation is less well defined. We have tested whether these cells can produce TNF-alpha, an important mediator of inflammation. Resting Langerhans cells produce less than 0.1 U TNF-alpha/ml. Langerhans cells stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and lipopolysaccharid...
متن کاملEvaluation of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Polymorphism Frequencies in Endometriosis
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 important factors in reproductive-related disorders. One of the most common gynecological diseases of women during the reproductive years is endo...
متن کاملRelease of tumor necrosis factor by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Evidence is presented that human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) can be induced to produce tumor necrosis factor (TNF). Other investigators have previously reported that TNF has been induced from macrophages by bacteria and, more recently, from natural killer cells by certain tumor cells. Our laboratory has reported that the opportunistic fungi, Candida albicans, can induce TNF, not only fr...
متن کاملInhibition of Interleukin-2-Induced Tumor Necrosis Factor Release
High concentrations of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha have been detected in the plasma of patients undergoing immunotherapy with interleukin 2 (IL-2). suggesting that this cytokine may play a role in the fever and shocklike state induced by the administration of high-dose IL-2. Dexamethasone has been shown to inhibit the synthesis of TNF by monocytes activated in vitro by endotoxin. To deter...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor induced release of endothelial cell lipoprotein lipase.
The major functional pool of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) that hydrolyzes triglycerides in circulating lipoproteins is located on the vascular endothelium. The macrophage-secreted cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a molecule known to affect endothelial cell functions, was used to test the hypothesis that alterations of endothelial cell metabolism regulate the binding of LPL to these cells. TNF ...
