The pathogenesis of a wide range of human diseases, including sepsis, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel diseases, has been linked to tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a key mediator of apoptosis as well as inflammation and immunity.
TNF- α is a homotrimer in solution and a 17-kDa protein with 157 amino acids. The gene is located on chromosome 6 in humans. Its soluble TNF-binding receptors play a major role in controlling its bioactivity. T lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and activated macrophages are the main producers of TNF-α. Numerous other cells, such as fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and tumor cells, are known to have lower expression. TNF- is produced in cells as pro-TNF (26 kDa), which is membrane-bound and is released after TNF-converting enzyme (TACE) cleaves its pro domain.
The two TNF receptors, TNF-R1 and TNF-R2, which are both members of the TNF receptor super-family, mediate many of the cellular responses brought on by TNF. Most cell types respond to TNF treatment by activating the transcription factor NF-B and MAP kinases like ERK, p38, and JNK. In some cases, apoptosis or necrosis may also be induced. However, TNFR1, also referred to as a death receptor, is primarily responsible for the induction of apoptosis or necrosis. Numerous cytokines and immune-regulatory proteins are induced as a result of NF-B and MAPK activation, which is crucial for many inflammatory responses.
