We have shown that the loss of p53 function contributed to resistance of tumor cells to TNF-induced cytotoxicity. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of wild-type p53 (wt-p53) expression on TNF sensitivity, by introducing wt-p53 into MCF7/Adr cells in which p53 was deleted, via a recombina

✦ Synopsis
TNF is a key inflammatory cytokine with antiviral properties. Human adenoviruses encode several intracellular proteins that mediate the effects of TNF. Expression of the adenovirus immediate early EIA proteins induces viral genes and a host of cellular genes, drives Go cells into S-phase, and induces apoptosis and susceptibility to TNF-induced apoptosis. The adenovirus E l B-I 9K protein inhibits both EIA-and TNF-induced apoptosis. The E3-14.7K protein and the E3-10.4K/I 4.5K complex of proteins inhibit TNF-but not E l A-induced apoptosis. The E3 14.7K and 10.4K/14.5K proteins inhibit TNF activation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA,), which may explain how they inhibit TNF cytolysis. Since eicosinoids produced from arachidonic acid (the product of cPLA,) are potent mediators of inflammation, the E3 proteins may block the inflammatory response to adenovirus infection. These adenovirus proteins should be novel tools to understand adenovirus pathogenesis, TNF signal transduction, and TNF
