Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been suggested to be a putative tumor promoter gene, and autocrine of TNF-α expression has been found in colon cancer and ovarian cancer.
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) stimulation can increase miR-19a expression, and upregulated miR-19a can in turn activate nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling and TNF-α production by targeting TNF alpha-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3). miR-19a inhibition can also alleviate CAC in vivo.
A secreted member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, DcR3, was recently reported to be amplified in human lung and colon cancers as a negative regulator of Fas-mediated apoptosis.
Altogether, the present work highlights a novel mechanism for anti-cancer action of DHA involving colon cancer cell death mediated through autocrine action of TNFα.
Because miR-21 is positively involved in cell survival and TNF-α promotes necrosis, we found it interesting to analyze the presence of miR-21 in areas of TNF-α mRNA expression at the invasive front of colon cancers.
Data suggested that by regulating the interactions between p53 and DR4/DR5, the tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) pathway played a key role in the action of PPD, a promising colon cancer inhibitory compound.
Here, we report that flufenamic acid shows two opposing effects on COX-2 expression; it induces COX-2 expression in the colon cancer cell line (HT-29) and macrophage cell line (RAW 264.7); conversely, it inhibits tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)- or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced COX-2 expression.
Importantly, we further demonstrated that overexpressing PHD2 attenuated inflammation in colon cancer xenograft mice through weakening accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), as well as secretions of pro-inflammatory cytokines including G-CSF, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, and IL-4.
In conclusion, our findings show that M2-medium enriched in TNFα and LTD<sub>4</sub> promote colon cancer cell invasion via MMP-9 expression and activation and the induction of EMT.
In MARCKS-positive MSS colon cancer cell lines (SW480 and SW707) small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of MARCKS conferred resistance to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apoptosis.
In the present study, the effect of TNF-α on the regulation of TROP-2 expression and its effect in colon cancer cell migration and invasion were investigated <i>in vitro</i>.
In this study, we attempted to develop a multimodality approach using chemotherapeutic agent mitomycin C, biologic agent tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/Apo-2L), and mild hyperthermia to treat colon cancer.
In this study, we sought to further confirm the antitumor activity of oncolytic virus-armed tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) gene therapy in xenografts, which derived from the tumors of patients with colon cancer.
In vitro, the CT26 and MC38 murine colon cancer cell lines were shown to upregulate IDO expression following stimulation with interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α).
Inhibition of TNFα in peritoneal fluids of patients following colorectal resection attenuates the postoperative stress-related increase in colon cancer cell migration: A prospective, in vitro study.
Inulins inhibited the development of dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis and colon cancer in mice; these fructans reduced the concentration of tumor necrosis factor alpha and prevented the formation of intestinal polyps, villous atrophy, and lymphoid hyperplasia.
MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated the expression of TNF-α in 108 human colon cancer tissue samples and 2 colon cancer cell lines (CT26 and HCT116), and analyzed its prognostic values.
