Tumor necrosis factor-alpha and virus expression in the central nervous system of cats infected with feline immunodeficiency virus.
Cytokine disregulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of lentivirus-induced diseases. In the present study, 18 specific pathogen free (SPF) cats were inoculated with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) Petaluma strain and sacrificed at different times post-infection. Five additional SPF cats were used as controls. The cell localization of the cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a...
متن کاملThe relationship between tumor necrosis factor and human immunodeficiency virus gene expression in lymphoid tissue.
In tissue culture models of chronic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) activate viral gene expression. We sought evidence that TNF-alpha might similarly regulate viral gene expression in vivo in the major lymphoid tissue (LT) reservoir. We used in situ hybridization, quantitative image analysis, and double-label techn...

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 کاملApoptosis induced by tumor necrosis factor in cells chronically infected with feline immunodeficiency virus.
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) induced morphologic changes such as chromatin condensation and cell shrinkage in a feline fibroblastic cell line (CRFK) chronically infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) but not in uninfected CRFK cells. DNA extracted from TNF-alpha-treated CRFK cells infected with FIV showed a ladder of nucleosomal DNA, indicating that this cytocidal effect b...
