Tumour necrosis factor and Crohn's disease.
The production of several pro-inflammatory cytokines is increased in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Experimental models of IBD have further defined the importance of specific cytokines for the induction of mucosal inflammation, by using specific neutralising antibodies, or by silencing cytokine genes in mice by using homologous recombination (knockout mice).' 2 Several therapeutic strategie...
متن کاملAnti-Tumour Necrosis Factor-α Therapy in Crohn’s Disease
Crohn’s disease is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory disease of the gastro-intestinal tract. Manifestations of the disease may be severe, and lead to long-term therapy with a variety of medications and/or surgery. There are two main classifications of the disease, including the relapsing-remitting chronic active variety, and the penetrating or fistulising variety. Tumour necrosis factor-alpha ...
متن کاملInfectious Complications of Anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor-α Therapy in Rheumatoid Arthritis
In the last decade the use of Tumor Necrosis Factorα inhibitors including infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab; and lately certolizumab and golimumab, has revolutionized the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These agents have been effective in reducing inflammatory activity and limiting joint destruction in patients with RA however their application has raised a number a safety concerns. In...
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...
