The results reveal a crucial role for TNFalpha/TNFR2 axis in the protection of the skin against DUOX1-mediated oxidative stress.
Title: Tnfa signaling through tnfr2 protects skin against oxidative stress-induced inflammation.
TNF alpha is the first molecule identified that is produced by dying retinal neurons and is necessary to induce Muller glia to proliferate in the zebrafish retinal regeneration response.
Title: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is produced by dying retinal neurons and is required for Muller glia proliferation during zebrafish retinal regeneration.
The data suggest that Mycobacterium marinum SecA2 modulates adaptive immunity to promote granuloma stability, perhaps through induction of tumor necrosis factor alpha.
Title: Mycobacterium marinum SecA2 promotes stable granulomas and induces tumor necrosis factor alpha in vivo.
The main proinflammatory effects of fish TNF-alpha are mediated through the activation of endothelial cells and point to the complexity of the evolution that has taken place in the regulation of innate immunity by cytokines.
Title: Evolution of the inflammatory response in vertebrates: fish TNF-alpha is a powerful activator of endothelial cells but hardly activates phagocytes.
TNF is not required for tuberculous granuloma formation, but maintains granuloma integrity indirectly by restricting mycobacterial growth within macrophages and preventing their necrosis.
Title: Tumor necrosis factor signaling mediates resistance to mycobacteria by inhibiting bacterial growth and macrophage death.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
