This study presents a comparative analysis of gangliosides from lymphoid (spleen and thymus) and other tissues (brain, liver, lung, muscle) of C57BL/6 mice homozygous (-/-) and heterozygous (+/-) for the tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFRp55). Quantitative and qualitative differences in the expression of the lipid-bound N-acetylneuraminic (Neu5Ac) and N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) and of various ganglioside biosynthesis pathways were detected between the tissues of the TNFRp55 -/- and the control TNFRp55 +/- mice. Sialic acid profiles showed a strong decrease in the absolute amount of sialic acids (Neu5Ac + Neu5Gc) in the lungs and thymus of homozygous (1.41 and 0.3 ng/mg wet weight, respectively) compared with control heterozygous animals (7.18 and 2.05 ng/mg wet weight, respectively). Considerable differences of Neu5Ac/Neu5Gc ratios in the lungs, muscle, spleen, and thymus were also detected. The gangliosides GM3(Neu5Ac) and GM3(Neu5Gc) were the dominant gangliosides in the lungs of the control animals, whereas the knockout mice almost completely lacked these structures in this organ. Reduced expression of GM1b-type gangliosides (GM1b and GalNAc-GM1b) was also found in the lungs, spleen, and thymus of the TNFRp55 knockout mice. On the other hand, neolacto-series gangliosides were more abundant in the lungs, brain, and muscle of the knockout mice, whereas their expression in the liver, spleen, and thymus was similar in both groups of animals. This study provides in vivo evidence that TNF signaling via the TNFRp55 is involved in the acquisition of a distinct ganglioside assembly in different mouse organs. TNFRp55 signaling seems to be especially important for the activation of the GM1b-type ganglioside biosynthetic pathway that is a unique characteristic of the mouse lymphoid tissues. 相似文献

Ventilator-induced lung injury plays a crucial role in the outcome of patients with acute lung injury. Previous studies have shown a role for the cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) in stretch-induced alveolar neutrophil recruitment, but the involvement of TNF in stretch-induced pulmonary edema is unclear. We investigated the effects of TNF through its individual p55 and p75 receptors on early pulmonary edema formation during high stretch ventilation, before neutrophil infiltration. Anesthetized wild-type or TNF receptor single/double knockout mice were ventilated with high tidal volume ( approximately 38 ml/kg) for 2 h or until they developed arterial hypotension. Pulmonary edema was assessed by physiological parameters including respiratory mechanics and blood gases, and by lavage fluid protein, lung wet:dry weight ratio, and lung permeability measurements using fluorescence-labeled albumin. High stretch ventilation in wild-type and TNF receptor double knockout animals induced similar pulmonary edema, and only 25-30% of mice completed the protocol. In contrast, the p55 receptor knockout mice were strongly protected from edema formation, with all animals completing the protocol. Myeloperoxidase assay indicated that this protective effect was not associated with decreased pulmonary neutrophil sequestration. The p75 receptor knockout mice, however, displayed increased susceptibility to edema formation, and no animals survived the full 2 h. These results demonstrate a novel role for TNF signaling (independent from its effects on neutrophil recruitment) specifically through the p55 receptor, in promoting high stretch-induced pulmonary edema, whereas p75 signaling may play an opposing role. 相似文献

The p70 tumor necrosis factor receptor mediates cytotoxicity. 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) selectively kills tumor cells, but this specificity is not clearly understood. Two distinctly different cell surface receptors (TNFRs), proteins of 55 kd (p55) and 70-80 kd (p70), mediate TNF action. Mouse TA1 cells are not killed by human (h) TNF, but are killed by mouse (m) TNF alone. Since the mouse p70 TNFR is recognized only by mTNF, these results implicate p70 receptor action in TA1 cell killing. Human HeLa cells have mainly the p55 receptor and are not killed by hTNF alone. When transfected with the human p70 TNFR, HeLa p70 die within 24 hr. HeLa p70 cells also show reduced c-fos and manganous superoxide dismutase induction by TNF. NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts are sensitive to only mTNF, but overexpression of the human p70 receptor causes cell death by hTNF and increased sensitivity to mTNF. These results provide a direct function for the p70 TNFR in TNF-induced cytotoxicity. 相似文献

We have investigated the role of p55 andp75 tumor necrosis factor receptors 1 and 2 (TNFR1 and TNFR2,respectively) in TNF-induced alteration of endothelial permeability invitro and in vivo. Stimulation of TNFR1 with an agonist antibody or areceptor-selective TNF mutein increased the flux of125I-albumin through endothelial cell monolayers. Anantagonist anti-TNFR1 antibody, but not antagonist anti-TNFR2antibodies, blocked the activity of TNF in vitro. Stimulation of TNFR1,but not TNFR2, induced cytoskeletal reorganization associated withincreased permeability. SB-203580, a p38 mitogen-activated proteinkinase inhibitor, blocked TNFR1-induced cytoskeletal reorganization and permeability. A selective mouse TNFR1 agonist and human TNF, which binds to murine TNFR1, increased the leakage of trypan blue-albumin from liver vessels in mice. These results indicate that stimulation ofTNFR1 is necessary and sufficient to increase endothelial permeability in vitro and in vivo. However, an antagonist anti-murine TNFR2 antibodypartially inhibited the effect of murine TNF on liver vessels,suggesting that TNFR2 also plays a role in the regulation ofTNF-induced vascular permeability in vivo. 相似文献

Increased tumor necrosis factor and IL-1 beta gene expression in the kidneys of mice with lupus nephritis 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24

Because TNF and IL-1 can initiate immunologic and inflammatory events alone or synergistically, a local increase in the levels of one or both of these cytokines in vivo may cause irreparable tissue damage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate local TNF and IL-1 beta gene expression in vivo in the kidneys of MRL-Ipr mice with autoimmune lupus nephritis. TNF mRNA was detected in the renal cortex of MRL-Ipr mice but was not present in the cortex of normal congenic MRL-++ or C3H/FeJ mice. MRL-Ipr mice with lupus nephritis expressed higher amounts of TNF mRNA compared with MRL-Ipr mice prior to disease. In addition, freshly isolated, unstimulated glomeruli from MRL-Ipr mice with nephritis were found to secrete detectable levels of TNF, whereas glomeruli from MRL-++ mice did not. IL-1 beta mRNA, present in the renal cortex of C3H/FeJ, MRL-++, and young MRL-Ipr mice with normal kidneys, was also more abundantly expressed in MRL-Ipr mice with nephritis. Cultured macrophages from glomeruli of mice with nephritis were found to express TNF and IL-1 beta mRNA and product. These macrophages are prominent only in MRL-Ipr mice with renal disease and are the likely source of increased gene expression for both cytokines. 相似文献

Protein ectodomain shedding, the proteolytic release of the extracellullar domain of membrane-tethered proteins, can dramatically affect the function of cell surface receptors, growth factors, cytokines, and other proteins. In this study, we evaluated the activities involved in ectodomain shedding of p75NTR, a neurotrophin receptor with critical roles in neuronal differentiation and survival. p75NTR is shed in a variety of cell types, including dorsal root ganglia cells and PC12 cells. In Chinese hamster ovary cells, inhibitors of the MEK/ERK and p38 MAP kinase pathways uncovered distinct signaling pathways required for the constitutive and stimulated shedding of p75NTR. Stimulated p75NTR shedding is abrogated in M2 mutant Chinese hamster ovary cells that lack functional tumor necrosis factor-alpha converting enzyme (TACE, also referred to as ADAM17) and in cells isolated from adam17-/- mice, but not in cells from adam9/12/15-/- or adam10-/- mice. Stimulated p75(NTR) shedding is strongly reduced by deletion of 15 amino acid residues in its extracellular membrane-proximal stalk domain. However, similar to other shed proteins, point mutations and overlapping shorter deletions within this region have little or no effect on shedding. Because ectodomain shedding of p75NTR releases a soluble ectodomain and could also be a prerequisite for its regulated intramembrane proteolysis, these findings may have important implications for the functional regulation of p75NTR. 相似文献

An expression plasmid encoding the human 75-kDa tumor necrosis factor (TNF) type 2 receptor (TNF-R2) was constructed and used to generate a stable human cell line (293/TNF-R2) overexpressing TNF-R2. Ligand binding analysis revealed high affinity binding (Kd = 0.2 nM) with approximately 94,000 +/- 7,500 sites/cell for 125I-TNF-alpha and approximately 5-fold lower affinity for TNF-beta (Kd = 1.1 nM) with 264,000 +/- 2,000 sites/cell. Cross-linking of 125I-TNF-alpha and 125I-TNF-beta to 293/TNF-R2 cells yielded predominant complexes with apparent molecular weights of 211,000 for TNF-alpha and 205,000 and 244,000 for TNF-beta, suggesting these complexes contain two or three TNF-R2 molecules. Immunoprecipitation of TNF-R2 from 32P-labeled 293/TNF-R2 cells demonstrated that the receptor is phosphorylated. The majority (97%) of 32Pi incorporation was found in serine residues with a very low level of incorporation (3%) in threonine residues. TNF-alpha treatment of 293/TNF-R2 cells did not significantly affect the degree or pattern of phosphorylation. Cell surface-bound 125I-TNF-alpha was slowly internalized by the 293/TNF-R2 cell line with a t1/2 = 25 min. Shedding of the extracellular domain of TNF-R2 was induced by 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate but not by TNF-alpha or TNF-beta. 相似文献

In this study we cloned and analysed partial cDNA of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and p75 TNF-R receptor of Syrian golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus). We obtained a 382-bp sequence of TNF and a 148-bp sequence coding for p75 TNF-R. The primers used for the cloning were designed on the basis of inter-species homology, thus presumably can be used for cloning and analysis of TNF and p75 TNF-R genes of other mammals. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is a macrophage-derived proinflammatory cytokine implicated in hepatotoxicity. In the present studies, p55 TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) -/- mice were used to assess the role of TNF-alpha in acetaminophen-induced antioxidant defense. Treatment of wild-type (WT) mice with acetaminophen (300 mg/kg) resulted in centrilobular hepatic necrosis and increased serum alanine transaminases. This was correlated with a rapid depletion of hepatic glutathione (GSH). Whereas in WT mice GSH levels returned to control after 6-12 h, in TNFR1-/- mice recovery was delayed for 48 h. Delayed induction of heme oxygenase-1 and reduced expression of CuZn superoxide dismutase were also observed in TNFR1-/- compared with WT mice. This was associated with exaggerated hepatotoxicity. In WT mice, acetaminophen caused a time-dependent increase in activator protein-1 nuclear binding activity and in c-Jun expression. This response was significantly attenuated in TNFR1-/- mice. Constitutive NF-kappaB binding activity was detectable in livers of both WT and TNFR1-/- mice. A transient decrease in this activity was observed 3 h after acetaminophen in WT mice, followed by an increase that was maximal after 6-12 h. In contrast, in TNFR1-/- mice, acetaminophen-induced decreases in NF-kappaB activity were prolonged and did not return to control levels for 24 h. These data indicate that TNF-alpha signaling through TNFR1 plays an important role in regulating the expression of antioxidants in this model. Reduced generation of antioxidants may contribute to the increased sensitivity of TNFR1-/- mice to acetaminophen. 相似文献

Germinal centers (GCs) have been identified as site at which the somatic mutation of immunoglobulins occurs.However, somatic mutations in immunoglobulins have also been observed in animals that normally do not harbor germinal centers. This clearly indicates that somatic mutations can occur in the absence of germinal centers.We therefore attempted to determine whether or not GCs exist in TNFR1-deficient mice, and are essential for the somatic mutation of immunoglobulins, using (4-hydroxy-3-nitropheny)acetyl-ovalbumin (NP-OVA). Both wild-type and TNFR1-deficient mice were immunized with NPOVA, and then examined with regard to the existence of GCs. No typical B-cell follicles were detected in the TNFR1-deficient mice. Cell proliferation was detected throughout all splenic tissue types, and no in vivo immunecomplex retention was observed in the TNFR1-deficient mice. All of these data strongly suggest that no GCs were formed in the TNFR1-deficient mice. Although TNFR1-deficient mice are unable to form GCs, serological analyses indicated that affinity maturation had been achieved in both the wild-type and TNFR1-deficient mice. We therefore isolated and sequenced several DNA clones from wild-type and the TNFR1-deficient mice. Eight out of 12 wild-type clones, and 11 out of 14 clones of the TNFR-1-deficient mice contained mutations at the CDR1 site. Thus, the wild-type and TNFR1-deficient mice were not extremely different with regard to types and rates of somatic mutation. Also, high-affinity antibodies were detected in both types of mice. Collectively, our data appear to show that affinity maturation may occur in TNFR1-deficient mice, which completely lack GCs. 相似文献

Structure-expression relationship of tumor necrosis factor receptor mutants that increase expression
Schweickhardt RL Jiang X Garone LM Brondyk WH 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2003,278(31):28961-28967
The extracellular domain of the p55 TNF receptor (TNFrED) is an important therapeutic protein for targeting tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). The expression level of the TNFrED is low for bioproduction, which is presumably associated with the complication of pairing 24 cysteine residues to form correct disulfide bonds. Here we report the application of the yeast display method to study expression of TNFrED, a multimeric receptor. Randomly mutated libraries of TNFrED were screened, and two mutants were identified that express several-fold higher protein levels compared with the wild type while still retaining normal binding affinity for TNF-alpha. The substituted residues responsible for the higher protein expression in both mutants were identified as proline, and both proline residues are adjacent to cysteine residues involved in disulfide bonds. Analysis of the mutant residues revealed that the improved level of expression is due to conformational restriction of the substituted residues to that of the folded state seen in the crystal structures of TNFrED thereby forcing the neighboring cysteine residues into the correct orientation for proper disulfide bond formation. 相似文献

The p55 tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-RI) is the main receptor by which TNF exerts its effects. The signaling capacity largely depends on the presence of an intact C-terminal protein-protein interaction domain, a so-called death domain (DD). Here we report the expression and purification of the human TNF-RI DD as a fusion with the Escherichia coli thioredoxin A (TRX) protein. When expressed under control of the bacteriophage T7 promoter, TRX-DD accumulates as a soluble protein in the cytoplasm of E. coli. The TRX-DD protein was released from the cells into the periplasmic fraction after osmotic shock. Due to self-association of the DD, a large part of the material appeared as multimers; it could be removed by selective precipitation and a combination of ion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. This purification protocol yielded 30 mg of purified, monomeric protein from 1 liter of shake-flask culture. The purified TRX-DD was found to be functional as it still bound to the TNF-RI-associated DD protein and the intracellular part of TNF-RI. We conclude that TRX-DD is correctly folded and can be used for further structure/function analysis. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), a protein released by activated macrophages, is involved in a wide variety of human diseases including septic shock, cachexia, and chronic inflammation. TNF binding protein (TNF-BP), a glycoprotein with high affinity to TNF-alpha isolated from urine, acts as an inhibitor of TNF-alpha by competing with the cell-surface TNF receptor. We report here the partial amino acid sequencing of human TNF-BP as well as the isolation, sequence, and expression of cDNA clones encoding a human and rat TNF receptor. The calculated Mr of the mature human and rat TNF receptor chains is 47,526 and 48,072, respectively. The extracellular ligand binding domain represents the soluble TNF-BP which is released by proteolytic cleavage. TNF-BP contains 24 cysteine residues and three potential N-glycosylation sites and shows sequence homology to the extracellular portions of TNF-R p80 chain and nerve growth factor receptor. Transfection of the human TNF receptor cDNA into mammalian cells resulted in increased binding capacity for TNF-alpha and increased reactivity with a monoclonal antibody directed against the human TNF receptor chain p60. When a stop codon was introduced into the cDNA at the site corresponding to the carboxyl terminus of TNF-BP, transfected cells secreted a protein that reacted with antibodies raised against natural TNF-BP. 相似文献

Summary The gene encoding the type II (p75) tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-RII) has been localized on human chromosome 1, band 1p36.2 by nonradioactive in situ hybridization. The gene encoding the type I (p55) TNF-R, which is structurally homologous to the type II (p75) TNF-R, has been previously localized on chromosome 12 band 12p13. Thus, despite their probable common ancestry, the genes for the two TNF-Rs are localized on different chromosomes. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor and IL-1 in New Zealand Black/White mice. Enhanced gene expression and acceleration of renal injury 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

TNF and IL-1 are potent immunologic and inflammatory cytokines. We have previously reported increased levels of mRNA for TNF alpha and IL-1 beta in MRL-lpr mice with lupus nephritis. To determine whether the increased levels of TNF and IL-1 mRNA are a more general feature of mice with lupus nephritis we studied cytokine gene expression in female NZB x NZW F1 (NZB/W) mice by Northern blot analysis. Enhanced steady state levels of mRNA for TNF alpha and IL-1 beta, but not IL-1 alpha, were detected in the renal cortices of animals with lupus nephritis. To determine whether administration of TNF or IL-1 would accelerate renal injury and mortality, we injected murine rTNF alpha or rIL-1 alpha i.p. into female NZB/W or C3H/FeJ mice at two doses, 2.0 micrograms or 0.2 micrograms, three times weekly for 2 or 4 mo beginning at 2 or 4 mo of age. Administration of the lower dose of each cytokine accelerated renal disease and mortality rate when treatment was initiated at 4 mo of age. At the higher dose, neither cytokine promoted disease. Treatment administered from 2-4 mo of age did not accelerate renal disease. This observation suggests that in order to cause renal injury, these cytokines must interact with other pathologic features present in these animals after 4 mo of age. These findings support the hypothesis that TNF and IL-1 can contribute to nephritis in murine models of lupus. Taken together with previously published data, we propose that TNF and IL-1 have differential dose effects on renal disease. The dose of TNF and IL-1 and the stage of disease activity dictate the pathogenic action of these cytokines. 相似文献
