Background: Mounting evidence has suggested tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) can promote the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR), and TNF-α gene variants may influence DR risk. However, the results are quite different. Objectives: To comprehensively address this issue, we performed the meta-analysis to evaluate the association of TNF-α-308 G/A and -238 G/A polymorphism with DR. Method: Data were retrieved in a systematic manner and analyzed using STATA Statistical Software. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of associations. Allelic and genotypic comparisons between cases and controls were evaluated. Results: For the TNF-α-308 G/A polymorphism, overall analysis suggested a marginal association with DR [the OR(95%CI) of (GA versus GG), (GA + AA) versus GG, and (A versus G) are 1.21(1.04, 1.41), 1.20(1.03, 1.39), and 1.14(1.01, 1.30), respectively]. And the subgroup analysis indicated an enhanced association among the European population. For the TNF-α-238 G/A polymorphism, there was mild correlation in the entire group [the OR(95%CI) of (GA versus GG) is 1.55(1.14,2.11) ], which was strengthened among the Asian population. Conclusion: The meta-analysis suggested that -308 A and -238 A allele in TNF-α gene potentially increased DR risk and showed a discrepancy in different ethnicities.

The proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) modulates the expression of many genes, primarily through activation of NF-κB. Here, we examined the global effects of the elongation factor Spt5 on nascent and mature mRNAs of TNF-α-induced cells using chromatin and cytosolic subcellular fractions. We identified several classes of TNF-α-induced genes controlled at the level of transcription, splicing, and chromatin retention. Spt5 was found to facilitate splicing and chromatin release in genes displaying high induction rates. Further analysis revealed striking effects of TNF-α on the splicing of 25% of expressed genes; the vast majority were not transcriptionally induced. Splicing enhancement of noninduced genes by TNF-α was transient and independent of NF-κB. Investigating the underlying basis, we found that Spt5 is required for the splicing facilitation of the noninduced genes. In line with this, Spt5 interacts with Sm core protein splicing factors. Furthermore, following TNF-α treatment, levels of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) but not Spt5 are reduced from the splicing-induced genes, suggesting that these genes become enriched with a Pol II-Spt5 form. Our findings revealed the Pol II-Spt5 complex as a highly competent coordinator of cotranscriptional splicing.

ABSTRACT ING proteins affect apoptosis, growth, and DNA repair by transducing stress signals such as DNA damage, binding histones, and subsequently regulating chromatin structure and p53 activity. p53 target genes, including the p21 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor and Bax, an inducer of apoptosis, are regulated by ING proteins. To identify additional targets downstream of p33ING1 and p32ING2, cDNA microarrays were performed on phenotypically normal human primary fibroblasts. The 0.36% of genes affected by ING proteins in primary fibroblasts were distinct from targets seen in established cells and included the HSP70 heat shock gene, whose promoter was specifically induced >10-fold. ING1-induced expression of HSP70 shifted cells from survival to a death pathway in response to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and p33ING1b protein showed synergy with TNF-α in inducing apoptosis, which correlated with reduced NF-κB-dependent transcription. These findings are consistent with previous reports that HSP70 promotes TNF-α-mediated apoptosis by binding I-κΒ kinase gamma and impairing NF-κB survival signaling. Induction of HSP70 required the amino terminus of ING1b but not the plant homeodomain region that was recently identified as a histone binding domain. Regulation of HSP70 gene expression by the ING tumor suppressors provides a novel link between the INGs and the stress-regulated NF-κB survival pathway important in hypoxia and angiogenesis.

ABSTRACT Host susceptibility to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is correlated with the levels of circulating tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) that develop in response to circulating LPS. Mice are resistant, relative to rabbits, to the lethal effects of LPS. This study indicates that mice and rabbits are equally sensitive to the lethal effects of circulating TNF-α but that mice are more resistant than rabbits to the induction of circulating TNF-α by LPS.

ABSTRACT Brucella spp. can establish themselves and cause disease in humans and animals. The mechanisms by whichBrucella spp. evade the antibacterial defenses of their host, however, remain largely unknown. We have previously reported that live brucellae failed to induce tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) production upon human macrophage infection. This inhibition is associated with a nonidentified protein that is released into culture medium. Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of gram-negative bacteria have been shown to modulate macrophage functions, including cytokine production. Thus, we have analyzed the effects of two major OMPs (Omp25 and Omp31) of Brucella suis 1330 (wild-type [WT] B. suis) on TNF-α production. For this purpose, omp25and omp31 null mutants of B. suis(Δomp25 B. suis and Δomp31 B. suis, respectively) were constructed and analyzed for the ability to activate human macrophages to secrete TNF-α. We showed that, in contrast to WTB. suis or Δomp31 B. suis, Δomp25 B. suis induced TNF-α production when phagocytosed by human macrophages. The complementation of Δomp25 B. suis with WT omp25 (Δomp25-omp25 B. suis mutant) significantly reversed this effect: Δomp25-omp25 B. suis-infected macrophages secreted significantly less TNF-α than did macrophages infected with the Δomp25 B. suismutant. Furthermore, pretreatment of WT B. suis with an anti-Omp25 monoclonal antibody directed against an epitope exposed at the surface of the bacteria resulted in substancial TNF-α production during macrophage infection. These observations demonstrated that Omp25 of B. suis is involved in the negative regulation of TNF-α production upon infection of human macrophages.

ABSTRACT Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a very potent inducer of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) expression from monocytes and macrophages. Another inflammatory cytokine, gamma interferon (IFN-γ), can potentiate the effects of LPS, but the mechanism is not thoroughly understood. Previous reports emphasized the ability of IFN-γ to upregulate CD14 expression (the receptor for LPS), and nearly all studies have utilized sequential stimulation with IFN-γ followed by LPS to exploit this phenomenon. This study demonstrates that IFN-γ can upregulate the effect of LPS at the level of transcription. Human monoblastic Mono-Mac-6 cells produced up to threefold-greater levels of TNF-α when simultaneously stimulated with LPS and IFN-γ compared to treatment with LPS alone. RNase protection studies showed a similar increase in RNA beginning as early as within 30 min. The synthesis of TNF-α mRNA in IFN-γ- and LPS-treated Mono-Mac-6 cells was also temporally prolonged even though the message turnover rate was identical to that seen in LPS stimulated cells. The modulatory effect of IFN-γ may be mediated by Jak2.
