Tumour necrosis factor-alpha- vs. growth factor deprivation-promoted cell death: distinct converging pathways

The Effect of Aerobic Training on Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha, Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1 alpha & Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Gene Expression in Cardiac Tissue of Diabetic Rats

Objective: The goal of this research was to determine the influence of 4 weeks aerobic training on gene expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the cardiac tissue of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In an experimental study, 30 male wistar rats were partitioned into three groups (n=10), d...

Evaluation 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...

Treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa with tumour necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors.

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a common inflammatory skin disease. Medical treatment is often disappointing and in severe disease surgery remains the therapy of choice. Extensive surgery may be effective but also mutilating. Patients experience a significant reduction in quality of life and the need for new treatment modalities are urgent. In recent years patients with HS have been treated of...

Post-transcriptional regulation of tumour necrosis factor alpha production.

Tumour necrosis factor á (TNFá) is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated macrophages, lymphocytes and other cells. The production of TNFá is under transcriptional and post-transcriptional control. Post-transcriptional control of TNFá expression is achieved by regulating translational initiation, mRNA stability, and polyadenylation. 7 10 An adenine and uridine (AU)-rich element (ARE) ...
