Tumour necrosis

Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has attractedmuch attention because of its ability to kill tumour cells. In this study, we demonstrated that treatment of QGY-7703 cells with the combination of TRAIL and etoposide resulted in synergistic cytotoxic effects. In dissecting the mechanism underlying this syner-gistic effect, we found that treatment with etoposide alone resulted in the upregulation of Bax, while the level of trun-catedBid (tBid)wasunchanged.

Numerous transmembrane proteins, including the blood pressure regulating angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and the Alzheimer’s disease amyloid precursor protein (APP), are proteolytically shed from the plasma membrane by metalloproteases. We have used an antisense oligo-nucleotide (ASO) approach to delineate the role of ADAM10 and tumour necrosis factor-aconverting enzyme (TACE;ADAM17) in theectodomainsheddingofACEand APP from human SH-SY5Y cells.

Endotoxin-neutralizingprotein (ENP) of the horseshoe crab isoneof themost potent neutralizersof endotoxins [bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)]. Here, we report on the inter-action of LPS with recombinant ENP using a variety of physical and biological techniques. In biological assays (Limulusamebocyte lysate and tumour necrosis factor-a induction in human mononuclear cells), ENP causes a strong reduction of the immunostimulatory ability of LPS in a dose-dependent manner.

Tumour cells are often sensitized by interferons to the effects of tumour necrosis factor-a-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). We have demonstrated previously that TRAIL has an inhibitory effect on protein synthesis [Jeffrey IW, Bushell M, Tilleray VJ, Morley S & Clemens MJ (2002) Cancer Res62, 2272–2280] and we have therefore examined the consequences of prior interferon-atreatment for the sensitivity of transla-tion to inhibition by TRAIL.

Tumour necrosis factor-a(TNF-a) is a cytokine that is involved in many functions, including the inflammatory response, immunity and apoptosis. Some of the responses of TNF-a are mediated by caspase-1, which is involved in the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1b, interleukin-18 and interleukin-33.

Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces apoptosis in a variety of tumour cells, but not in most normal cells, and has attracted considerable attention for its potential use in cancer therapy. Recently, increasing evidence has shown that TRAIL is involved in inflam-mation, although much of this evidence is controversial.

Circulating tumour necrosis factor-a(TNFa) levels, which are elevated in obesity-associated insulin resistance and diabetes, inhibit insulin signalling at several points in the signalling cascade. The liver is critical in maintaining cir-culating glucose levels and, in a preliminary investigation using the human hepatoma (HepG2) cell line in this study, we demonstrated the role of TNFa in the regulation of this phenomenon and determined the underlying molecular mechanisms.

A novel geneZC3H12A, encoding MCP-1-induced protein 1 (MCPIP), was recently identified in human peripheral blood monocytes treated with monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) and in human monocyte-derived macrophages stimulated with interleukin (IL)-1b. These experiments revealed that the gene undergoes rapid and potent transcription induction upon stimulation with proinflammatory molecules, such as MCP-1, IL-1b, tumour necrosis factor aand lipopolysaccharide.

To understand the potential paracrine roles of interleukin-1b (IL-1b), tumour necrosis factor-a(TNF-a) and interleukin-10 (IL-10), the expres-sion and secretion of these factors by rat bone marrow-derived mesenchy-mal cells stimulated by hypoxia (4% oxygen) and serum deprivation (hypoxia⁄SD) were investigated.

Tumour necrosis factor-a(TNF-a) is a key mediator of inflammation in host defence against infection and in autoimmune disease. Its production is controlled post-transcriptionally by multiple RNA-binding proteins that interact with the TNF-aAU-rich element and regulate its expression; one of these is Fragile X mental retardation-related protein 1 (FXR1).

Tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated protein 1 (TRAP1) is a mito-chondrial chaperone that plays a role in maintaining mitochondrial func-tion and regulating cell apoptosis. The opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) is a key step in cell death after hypoxia.

Apoptosis or programmed cell death is an inherent part of the development and homeostasis of multicellular organisms. Dysregulation of apoptosis is implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases such as cancer, neurodegenera-tive diseases and autoimmune disorders. Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is able to induce apoptosis by binding death receptor (DR)4 (TRAIL-R1) and DR5 (TRAIL-R2), which makes TRAIL an interesting and promising therapeutic target.
