Tumor necrosis factor alpha was found to rapidly phosphorylate the unique mammalian small heat shock protein hsp28 without impairing its cytoplasmic localization and without inducing the synthesis of the heat shock proteins. In contrast to the C-kinase-dependent phosphorylation of hsp28 in response to the tumor promoter phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, the heat- and tumor necrosis factor-mediated phosphorylation of this heat shock protein appears to occur independently of C kinase. These observations suggest that a C-kinase-independent phosphorylation of hsp28 may be an early event in the cellular action of tumor necrosis factor alpha.

In this report, we show that ionizing radiation (IR) at a clinically relevant dose (4 Gy) causes apoptosis in macrovascular and microvascular human endothelial cells. Treatment of irradiated cells with a low dose of bacterial endotoxin (LPS), similar to the levels observed in serum during endotoxemia, enhanced the rate of apoptosis, although LPS alone was unable to induce programmed cell death. The cytokine and endotoxin antagonist interleukin-10 (IL-10) reduced the rate of LPS + IR-induced apoptosis to levels obtained with irradiation alone. Using neutralizing antibodies against tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF), we could show crucial involvement of TNF in the LPS- mediated enhancement of IR-induced apoptosis, but not in the IR-induced apoptosis per se. However, further analysis strongly suggested the transmembrane form of TNF (mTNF), but not soluble TNF, to be accountable for the LPS-mediated cytotoxic effects. Studies with anatagonistic receptor specific antibodies clearly showed that TNF receptor type I (TR60) is essential and sufficient to elicit this effect. These findings are of potential clinical importance because they may disclose a relevant mechanism that leads to endothelial damage after radiotherapy or total body irradiation used for conditioning in bone marrow transplantation and that may thus contribute to transplant related complications, especially in association with endotoxemia or related inflammatory states.

ABSTRACT The retinoblastoma protein (RB) suppresses cell proliferation and apoptosis. We have previously shown that RB degradation is required for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) to induce apoptosis. We show here the identification of two apoptotic effectors, i.e., c-ABL tyrosine kinase and p73, which are activated by TNF-α following RB degradation. In cells expressing a degradation-resistant RB protein (RB-MI), TNF-α does not activate c-ABL. RB-MI also inhibits TNF-α-mediated activation of p73. Genetic deletion and pharmacological inhibition of c-ABL or p73 diminish the apoptotic response to TNF-α in human cell lines and mouse fibroblasts. Thymocytes isolated from RbMI/MI , Abl −/−, or p73 −/− mice are resistant to TNF-α-induced apoptosis compared to their wild-type counterparts. This is in contrast to p53 −/− thymocytes, which exhibit a wild-type level of apoptosis in response to TNF-α. Thus, c-ABL and p73 contribute to apoptosis induced by TNF-α, in addition to their role in promoting DNA damage-associated cell death.
