Tumor Necrosis Factor-a-induced Inhibition of Phosphatidylcholine Synthesis
TNFa seems to play an important role in the pathogenesis of adult respiratory distress syndrome. We studied the effect of TNFa on phospholipid synthesis by isolated type II pneumocytes and attempted to characterize the role of arachidonate metabolites and the influence of pentoxifylline on such an effect. Lung tissue obtained from both multiple organ donors (n = 14) and lung cancer patients (n ...
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 کاملBowel Necrosis Induced by Tumor Necrosis Factor
We have developed a rat model of ischemic bowel necrosis associated with shock by injection of platelet-activating factor (PAF) or a combination of PAF and endotoxin. Recent investigations have shown that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) also induces shock and necrosis of the gastrointestinal tract. The morphological changes of TNF-induced bowel lesions are indistinguishable from those caused by PAF...
متن کاملMetaxin is required for tumor necrosis factor-induced cell death.
We used retrovirus insertion-mediated random mutagenesis and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) selection to generate TNF-resistant lines from L929 cells. The metaxin gene, which encodes a protein located on the outer membrane of mitochondria, was identified to be the gene disrupted in one of the resistant lines. The requirement of metaxin in TNF-induced cell death of L929 was confirmed by the restora...
متن کاملInhibition of c-Myc expression sensitizes hepatocytes to tumor necrosis factor-induced apoptosis and necrosis.
The typical proliferative response of hepatocytes to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) can be converted to a cytotoxic one by transcriptional arrest. Although NF-kappaB activation is critical for hepatocyte resistance to TNF toxicity, the contribution of other TNF-inducible transcription factors remains unknown. To determine the function of c-Myc in hepatocyte sensitivity to TNF, stable transfectants...
