TNFR/TNF-α signaling pathway regulates apoptosis of alveolar macrophages in coal workers' pneumoconiosis

Abstract: We explored the role of TNFR/TNF-α signalingin apoptosis among alveolar macrophages (AM) and its relevance to the development of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP). Purified alveolar macrophages (AMs) were prepared from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid harvested from 366 CWP patients and 120 healthy subjects enrolled inthe study. The purified AMs were then divided into control, SOD, anti-TNFR, TNFR and NFkB inhibitor groups and analyzed for apoptosis usingflow cytometry (sub-diploid peak) and western blotting (Bcl… Show more

“…We found that none of RipK3, Irf3 or Irf7 contributed to the down-regulation of IFNGR1 in LPS treated macrophages. 15,38,39 The lack of a role for Irf3 and Irf7 supports our finding that type I IFNs do not play a role in IFNGR1…”

“…Myd88‐ and Trif‐mediated signaling cascades induce NF‐κB activation, leading to the expression of numerous pro‐inflammatory cytokines . To investigate whether NF‐κB activation contributed to down‐regulation of IFNGR1 in LPS treated macrophages, NF‐κB activation was inhibited in iBMDM using the NF‐κB inhibitor BAY 11–7085, which irreversibly inhibits IκBα phosphorylation and prevents its degradation, thereby preventing NF‐κB translocation into the nucleus .…”

“…In particular, TNF-a has significant effects [9][10][11][12] . TNF-a induces apoptosis of tumor cells by combining with the TNF receptor (TNFR) 13,14 on the cytomembrane. It can also promote the proliferation and differentiation of immune cells and impose antitumor effects.…”
