Necrosis in TRAM (transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous) still occurs in flap breast reconstruction. Blood flow may be improved by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), an endogenous protein that stimulates neovascularization. Experimental studies of gene therapy with plasmid vector
Previous studies have documented that Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) is a potent negative regulator of normal hematopoiesis. However, the mechanism by which TNFalpha acts at the cellular level is not totally understood. Although apoptotic cell killing appears to be the most common cellular
Intestinal inflammation has been implicated in a number of diseases, including diabetes, Crohn's disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. Important components of inflammation are interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), which are elevated both on the luminal and submucosal sides of
Telomerase catalytic subunit (hTERT) has been shown to play a critical role not only in telomere homeostasis but also in cellular survival, DNA repair, and genetic stability. In a previous study, we described that tumor necrosis factor-xalpha (TNFxalpha) induced in the leukemic KG1 cells a
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of systemic and intraarticular adenoviral transfer of a modified tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor (TNF alphaR) gene and its expression in rat collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).
METHODS
Rats with CIA received injections of replication-deficient adenovirus
Arterial calcification is common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and other chronic inflammatory disorders. Arterial calcification is associated with significant morbidity and increased early mortality. The molecular signature of vascular calcification in
Mice with a secondary Listeria monocytogenes infection eliminate the bacteria much faster and more efficiently from their organs than mice with a primary infection. During the course of a secondary infection, serum concentrations of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF)
BACKGROUND
In recent years, the importance of inflammation in restenosis has been recognized gradually. When vascular injury occurs, NF-κB, which controls transcription of many inflammatory genes in restenosis (such as monocyte chemotactic protein-3 [MCP-3]), is activated by IκB degradation, leaving
Our previous work showed that tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and FasL induce apoptosis of anterior pituitary cells. To further analyze the effect of these proapoptotic factors, we infected primary cultures from rat anterior pituitary, GH3 and AtT20 cells with first-generation adenoviral vectors
In comparison to more differentiated cells, prostate cancer stem-like cells are radioresistant, which could explain radio-recurrent prostate cancer. Improvement of radiotherapeutic efficacy may therefore require combination therapy. We have investigated the consequences of treating primary prostate
A chimeric protein capable of binding and neutralizing tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and lymphotoxin was expressed in mice transduced with a replication-incompetent adenoviral vector into which a TNF inhibitor gene had been engineered. Within 3 days following the injection of 10(9) infectious
OBJECTIVE
Tumor necrosis factor is an important mediator of lung transplant ischemia-reperfusion injury, and soluble type I tumor necrosis factor receptor binds to tumor necrosis factor and works as a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor. The objectives of this study were to demonstrate that gene
The outer capsid polypeptide, VP2, represents the major neutralizing antigen of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). A 926-bp viral cDNA, encoding an N-terminal truncated VP2, was cloned into the pWR590 expression plasmid family resulting in a C-terminal extension of a truncated Escherichia
1. Aldosterone has been shown to mediate p21-dependent cellular senescence in rat kidney proximal tubules in vivo and in cultured human proximal tubular cells. The p21-induced senescent cells express higher levels of apoptotic cytokines, such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α compared with
The functional role of human tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) p75 was studied by the use of TNFR p75-specific agonistic antibodies. Human SW480T adenocarcinoma cells, stably transfected with a reporter construct containing beta-galactosidase under the control of human cytomegalovirus immediate
