TNF-α mediates obstruction-induced renal tubular cell apoptosis and proapoptotic signaling

Abstract: Obstruction of the upper urinary tract induces a progressive loss in renal mass through apoptotic renal cell death. Although TNF-alpha has been implicated in ischemia-reperfusion-induced apoptotic renal cell death, its role in obstructive renal cell apoptosis remains unknown. To study this, male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to left unilateral ureteral obstruction vs. sham operation. Twenty-four hours before surgery and every 84 h thereafter, rats received either vehicle or a pegylated form of soluble TNF… Show more

“…45 TNF-␣, FasL, and TWEAK have been successful therapeutic targets in AKI. 43,46,47 The requirement for cytokine cooperation to induce tubular cell death effectively underlies the observation that targeting individual cytokines has a therapeutic benefit. In addition, members of the TNF superfamily have a broad spectrum of nonlethal activities, including inflammation.…”

“…UUO appears to induce programmed cell death in renal tubular cells via activation of proapoptotic stimuli such as TNF-␣ (17) and TGF-␤ (16). This is accompanied by suppression of Bcl2 (4), dephosphorylation of BAD (15), activation of DAP kinase, and increased expression of the caspase cascade genes (26).…”
