Stimulation of murine L-M and 3T3 fibroblasts with human recombinant tumour necrosis factor (rTNF) resulted in an increase in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). In 3T3 cells rTNF also induced release and metabolization of arachidonic acid, whereas in L-M cells rTNF provoked rapid
Treatment of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes for 72 h in the presence of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) (10 U/ml) lead to a decrease in basal and alpha 1-adrenoceptor-induced formation of the calcium-mobilizing second messenger inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and its metabolites, IP2 and IP1, by
The active component of the exoantigens of malarial parasites which stimulates macrophages to secrete tumour necrosis factor (TNF) has been shown to depend upon a phospholipid, the activity of which was blocked by phosphatidylinositol (PI) and inositol monophosphate (IMP) in competitive inhibition
Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) regulates the transport of myo-inositol in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Treating 3T3-L1 adipocytes with TNF-alpha decreases Na+/myo-inositol co-transporter (SMIT) mRNA levels and myo-inositol accumulation in a concentration-and time-dependent manner. TNF-alpha
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a proinflammatory cytokine, has been implicated as a central mediator in multiple homeostatic and pathologic processes. Signaling cascades downstream of its cellular cognate receptors, as well as the resultant transcriptional responses have received intense
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on type I inositol 1, 4, 5-triphosphate receptor (IP(3) R) expression in rat glomerular afferent arterioles smooth muscle cells (RASMC).
METHODS
Isolation and culture of RASMC and detection of type I IP(3) R protein and type I
We studied the effect of i.v. infusion of human recombinant tumor necrosis factor alpha (rHuTNF alpha, Cetus, 15 micrograms/100 g bw over 3 h) on vasopressin (VP)-stimulated 32P-inositol lipid turnover and the release of 3H-inositol phosphates in isolated rat hepatocytes. The early VP-induced
The overexpression of inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate 5/6-kinase has recently been shown to protect HEK293 cells from tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF(alpha))-induced apoptosis. This overexpression leads to an increase in the levels of both inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate (InsP5) and inositol
Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNF-R1) signaling elicits a wide range of biological responses, including inflammation, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. TNF-R1 activates both caspase-mediated apoptosis and NF-kappaB transcription of anti-apoptotic factors. We now report a link
Inflammatory events have long been implicated in initiating and/or propagating the pathophysiology associated with a number of neurological diseases. In addition, defects in Ca2+-handling processes, which shape membrane potential, influence gene transcription, and affect neuronal spiking patterns,
We have previously reported that LiCl increases considerably the cytotoxic activity of TNF towards some transformed cell lines such as L929. Here we show that treatment of these cell lines with the combination of TNF and LiCl leads to the prolonged accumulation of inositol monophosphate, inositol
B-cell activating factor-receptor (BAFF-R) is the primary BAFF receptor that is responsible for promoting B-cell development and survival. Malignant B-cells exploit the BAFF/BAFF-R system, and high serum BAFF levels or genetic alterations in BAFF receptors have been found in B-cell cancers. BAFF
In human neutrophils, significant agonist-stimulated superoxide anion (O2-) release is observed only after exposure to a priming agent such as TNFalpha. We have investigated the potential for TNFalpha to modulate N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe (fMLP)-triggered Ins(1,4,5)P3 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 accumulation.
Lipoarabinomannans are major mycobacterial antigens capable of modulating the host immune response; however, the molecular basis underlying the diversity of their immunological properties remain an open question. In this study a new extraction and purification approach was successfully applied to
OBJECTIVE
To investigate convergence of endoplasmic reticulum stress pathways and enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, due to intracellular retention of mutant tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1), as a disease mechanism in TNFR-associated periodic syndrome
