Although hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is partially mediated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), we recently found that low-dose TNF before IR is hepatoprotective. We examined the seemingly conflicting roles of TNF in mediating liver injury in a partial hepatic IR model using TNF gene k
Toxoplasrna gondii, an obligate intracellular parasite, is able to replicate in human brain cells. We recently showed that interferon (1FN)-y-activated cells from glioblastoma line 86HG39 were able to restrict Toxoplusma growth. The effector mechanism responsible for this toxoplasmostatic effect was
We examined cytokine-mediated neuronal death in neuron-astrocyte cultures from second trimester human fetal cerebrum. In these cultures, high-output inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and tumor necrosis factor-␣ (TNF␣) are expressed in astrocytes after exposure to IL-1/IFN␥. Neuronal cell death
