Role of tumour necrosis factor in pathogenesis of radicular cyst.
BACKGROUND The radicular cyst is very common odontogenic cyst of the jaws, which is usually associated with a tooth with necrotic pulp. The cyst formation requires proliferation of the epithelial rest cells of Malassez present in the periodontal ligament. Proliferation of epithelial rest cells of Malassez is an essential event in the Pathogenesis of radicular cyst. The wall of the cyst contains...
متن کاملInflammation, a Key Factor in Cancer Ambush
Inflammatory condition is the consequence of defensive mechanism of immune system against viral and bacterial infection, tissue injury, UV radiation, stress and etc. Persistently acute inflammation leads to chronic phase which is characterized by production of pro-inflammatory mediators from T cells. These molecules (e.g. IL-6, TNF-&alpha, IL-1&beta and IL-17) are mostly pleiotropic cytokines i...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor-α in nasal allergy
Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) by radio-immunoassay to evaluate TNF-alpha in nasal allergy. There was no significant difference either between the mean concentrations of TNF-alpha in nasal secretions from the patients with perennial nasal allergy and those of normal subjects, or between the TNF-alp...
متن کاملSignal transduction by tumour necrosis factor and tumour necrosis factor related ligands and their receptors.
Many biological functions are regulated through interactions of extracellular molecules with their cognate cell surface receptors. The transduction of these signals by their receptors at the plasma membrane to the intracellular machinery results in such cellular activities as gene activation, protein phosphorylation, cell proliferation, and cell destruction. Though the kinetics of these activit...
متن کاملTumour necrosis factor in synovial exudates
The actions of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) include resorption of bone and cartilage, suggesting a potential role in the pathogenesis of arthritis. TNF activity was looked for in synovial fluids from 137 patients with different rheumatic diseases. Unfractionated samples were tested in the L929 bioassay. Significant TNF activity that was neutralised by monoclonal antibody to TNF alpha occurred i...
