Regulation of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) induced apoptosis by soluble TNF receptors in Helicobacter pylori infection.
BACKGROUND Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) is a predominant cytokine produced in the gastric mucosa of patients with Helicobacter pylori infection. TNF induces apoptosis in a variety of cells. The soluble TNF receptors (sTNF-Rs) can be divided into sTNF-RI and sTNF-RII, both of which inhibit TNF activity. However, their precise mechanisms remain unclear. AIM To investigate the role of sTNF-Rs in...
متن کاملSoluble receptors for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-R p55 and TNF-R p75) in familial combined hyperlipidemia.
We investigated the potential role of the 75 kD receptor for tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) (TNFRSF1B, located on chromosome 1 band p36.2) as a modifier gene in familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH), based on previous linkage and association data. Age-corrected values for the soluble (s) extracellular domain of TNF-R p75 were lower in 156 well-characterized hyperlipidemic (HL) FCH rel...
متن کاملRelease of soluble receptors for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in relation to circulating TNF during experimental endotoxinemia.
Serial plasma samples from human volunteers obtained after intravenous administration of Escherichia coli endotoxin were analyzed for the presence of circulating soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors (sTNFR). A four- to fivefold increase of type A (p75) and type B (p55) sTNFR was observed 3 h after endotoxin challenge. Pretreatment of the volunteers with ibuprofen before the injection of endo...
متن کاملInterference of soluble TNF-a receptors in immunological detection of tumor necrosis factor-a
We have studied the interference of soluble tumor necrosis factor-a receptor p55 (sTNF-R55) on the quantification of tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) in three immunoassays: the commercially available enzyme amplified-sensitivity immunoassay (EASLA) of Medgenix and the ELISA of Boehringer Mannheim, and an assay based on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technology. TNF-a measurements by EASLA and EL...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor (TNF)-soluble high-affinity receptor complex as a TNF antagonist.
A novel high-affinity inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is described, which is created by the fusion of the extracellular domains of TNF-binding protein 1 (TBP-1) to both the alpha and beta chains of an inactive version of the heterodimeric protein hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin. The resulting molecule, termed TNF-soluble high-affinity receptor complex (SHARC), self-assembles into...
