The notion that excessive production of cytokines, especially of TNF, can be central to the pathogenesis of numerous acute and chronic diseases is now widely accepted and documented. The first publication clearly demonstrating the causative role of TNF in pathology is featured in the current issue

A Neurologist's Guide to TNF Biology and to the Principles behind the Therapeutic Removal of Excess TNF in Disease
TLDR
The purpose of this review is to facilitate lowering communication barriers between the traditional anatomically based medical specialties through recognition of shared disease mechanisms and thus advance the prospects of a large group of patients with neurodegenerative conditions for whom at present little can be done.
Screening Strategies for the Identification of Latent Tuberculosis
Serum concentrations of apoptosis-associated molecules in septic children with leukemia, neutropenia and fever
TLDR
Low levels of Fas-L and low percentage of apoptotic cells are observed in septic subjects, which may reflect the presence of sepsis among subjects with NF secondary to leukemia.

Lymph nodes (LNs), Peyer’s patches (PPs), and the spleen are command centers for the adaptive immune system, bringing together Ags and immune cells for the initiation of antipathogen offensives. The…
Regulation of macrophage activation and septic shock susceptibility via p21(WAF1/CIP1)
p21 is a cell‐cycle inhibitor that is also known to suppress autoimmunity. Here, we provide evidence of a novel role for p21 as an inhibitor of macrophage activation. LPS stimulation of p21‐deficient…
Fasciola hepatica Fatty Acid Binding Protein Inhibits TLR4 Activation and Suppresses the Inflammatory Cytokines Induced by Lipopolysaccharide In Vitro and In Vivo
TLDR
The potent anti-inflammatory properties of Fh12 demonstrated in this study open doors to further studies directed at exploring the potential of this molecule as a new class of drug against septic shock or other inflammatory diseases.
Extracellular granzyme K mediates endothelial activation through the cleavage of protease‐activated receptor‐1
TLDR
It is hypothesized that extracellular GzK induces a proinflammatory response in endothelial cells and characterization of downstream pathways implicated the mitogen‐activated protein kinase p38 pathway for intercellular adhesion molecule 1 expression, and both the p38 and theextracellular signal‐regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 pathways in cytokine production.
Biomaterial-Driven Immunomodulation: Cell Biology-Based Strategies to Mitigate Severe Inflammation and Sepsis
TLDR
This review aims to systematically describe the biological effects of nanoparticle properties—separate from additional small molecule or biologic delivery—on modulating innate immune cell responses in the context of severe inflammation and sepsis.
Unraveling the intracellular cross-talk governing the balance between TNFα mediated survival and apoptosis signaling
TLDR
This study establishes that the dynamic cross-talk between the pJNK and pAKT transients directs the apoptosis phenotype via accumulated Caspase3 response, and demonstrates that the predictive model can be leveraged towards arriving at useful insights that can identify potential targeted therapeutic strategies for altering apoptotic response.

Suggested importance of monokines in pathophysiology of endotoxin shock and malaria
  • I. Clark
  • Biology, Medicine

  • 2005
TLDR
There are many similarities in the pathophysiology of gram-negative infections and in acute falciparum malaria, and the notion that macrophage derived mediators may be responsible, at least in part, for the pathology observed in malaria is suggested.
Anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy in sepsis: Update on clinical trials and lessons learned
TLDR
Analysis of all trial data as well as data from a recent trial in a large population of septic patients show that anti-TNF strategies may confer a small survival benefit, and better characterization of patients and a more multimodal approach by concomitantly targeting other mediators involved in sepsis may be helpful in enlarging the clinical benefit of anti- TNF therapy.

Shock and tissue injury induced by recombinant human cachectin.
TLDR
It appears that a single protein mediator (cachectin) is capable of inducing many of the deleterious effects of endotoxin.
Identity of tumour necrosis factor and the macrophage-secreted factor cachectin
TLDR
It is suggested that the ‘cachectin’ and ‘TNF’ activities of murine macrophage conditioned medium are attributable to a single protein, which modulates the metabolic activities of normal as well as neoplastic cells through interaction with specific high-affinity receptors.
Possible importance of macrophage-derived mediators in acute malaria
TLDR
It is proposed that these macrophage-derived mediators may be important in the glucocorticoid antagonism, bone marrow depression, fever, hypergammaglobulinemia, splenomegaly, elevation of serum amyloid A, consumptive coagulopathy, and shock syndrome with associated organ damage which can accompany malaria.
An endotoxin-induced serum factor that causes necrosis of tumors.
TLDR
It is proposed that TNF mediates endotoxin-induced tumor necrosis, and that it may be responsible for the suppression of transformed cells by activated macrophages.
Anti-cachectin/TNF monoclonal antibodies prevent septic shock during lethal bacteraemia
TLDR
Protection against shock, vital organ dysfunction, persistent stress hormone release and death was conferred by administration of antibodies 2 h before bacterial infusion, indicating that cachectin is a mediator of fatal bacteraemic shock and suggesting that antibodies against Cachectin offer a potential therapy of life-threatening infection.
Inhibition by anti-interferon serum of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus disease in suckling mice.
TLDR
It is concluded that interferon induced byLCM virus is responsible in large part for the syndrome of growth inhibition, liver cell necrosis, and death observed in LCM virus-infected suckling mice.
Passive immunization against cachectin/tumor necrosis factor protects mice from lethal effect of endotoxin.
TLDR
The data suggest that cachectin/TNF is one of the principal mediators of the lethal effect of endotoxin, and this effect was dose-dependent and was most effective when the antiserum was administered prior to the injection of the endotoxin.
