Tumorb> Necrosisb> Factor and Neuropathy

Direct infection of neurons by HIV is unlikely, and the axonal injury may be an indirect effect mediated by cytotoxic factors such as tumorb> necrosisb> factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) which we have previously demonstrated to cause axonal degeneration in the rabbit optic nerve.
Acta Neuropathol (Berl) 1998 Jan;95(1):57-62 Immunocytochemical expression of tumorb> necrosisb> factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) was examined in nerve biopsy samples of patients with various disorders, focusing on nerve injury.
Specifically, we employed well-characterized models of neuropathy that result in behaviors suggestive of neuropathic pain in humans; a freeze lesion of the sciatic nerve, termed sciatic cryoneurolysis, and a chronic constriction sciatic nerve injury.

Furthermore, because NAC reverses tumorb> necrosisb> factor alpha toxicity both in cells and in animals and is a well-known drug that can be administered orally without known toxicity in humans, these results suggest that NAC is a possible therapeutic agent in AIDS.
In an inflammatory-cytokine signaling model, the failure of tumorb> necrosisb> factor alpha to stimulate more than minimal tyrosine phosphorylation in lymphocytes is overcome by buthionine sulfoximine pretreatment--i.e., tumorb> necrosisb> factor alpha stimulates extensive tyrosine phosphorylation in glutathione-depleted lymphocytes.

HON Allergy Glossary TNF

TNF causes the symptoms associated with bacterial infections (septic shock, fever, muscle ache, lethargy, headache, nausea and inflammation).
Is also thought to upregulate HIV replication, and may contribute to the pathogenesis of wasting (cachexia) due to the loss of fat from fat cells and increased metabolism of muscle cells.
The genes that encode both TNF forms are found in the MHC.
