Tumor necrosis factor- inhibits glutathione S-transferase- expression in cultured porcine Sertoli cells
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of soluble enzymes of detoxification that use reduced glutathione in conjugation and reduction reactions. Toxic electrophiles are substrates for the GSTs. GST is expressed at high levels in different tissues such as the testis. Among the different GSTs present in the testis, GST is specifically expressed in Leydig and Sertoli cells known to be unde...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor-alpha stimulates lactate dehydrogenase A expression in porcine cultured sertoli cells: mechanisms of action.
In the present study, we investigated the regulatory action of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) on lactate dehydrogenase A (LDH A), a key enzyme involved in lactate production. To this end, use was made of a primary culture system of porcine testicular Sertoli cells. TNFalpha stimulated LDH A messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in a dose (ED50 = 2.5 ng/ml; 0.1 nM TNFalpha)-dependent manner. T...
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 کاملTumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibits expression of pulmonary surfactant protein.
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) decreased the expression of pulmonary surfactant proteins SP-A and SP-B in human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell lines. The effect of TNF alpha on SP-A content and mRNA in the pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line, H441-4, was concentration and time dependent. TNF alpha decreased the cellular content of SP-A to less than 10% of control 48 h after addition. TNF...
متن کاملExpression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha--converting enzyme and tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human myocarditis.
OBJECTIVES We determined whether tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) is expressed with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in myocarditis. BACKGROUND 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 precursor to its mature f...
