Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | Treatment of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) cell lines (ACC-83 and ACC-LM) with 5 µM TNF-α (31-45), human for 1 hour activated the NF-κB pathway, as evidenced by increased phosphorylation of the P65 subunit. This activation promoted cisplatin resistance and enhanced the migration and invasion capabilities of the ACC cells. The use of TNF-α (31-45), human did not alter the mRNA or protein expression levels of RPS3. [2] |
| Cell Assay |
NF-κB Pathway Activation Assay: To activate the NF-κB pathway, ACC cells were treated with TNF-α (31-45), human at a final concentration of 5 µM for 1 hour. The activation status of the pathway was subsequently assessed by western blot analysis of phosphorylated P65 (P-P65) levels. [2] Cisplatin Resistance (IC₅₀) Assay: Cells were seeded into 96-well plates at 10,000 cells/well. After treatment with TNF-α (31-45), human (5 µM, 1 hour) or other conditions, cisplatin was added at a series of concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 µM) for 48 hours. Cell viability was measured using a Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay to determine the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of cisplatin. [2] Migration and Invasion Assay (Transwell): For migration assays, 30,000 cells in medium containing 1% FBS were seeded into the upper chamber of a Transwell insert (8-µm pore size). For invasion assays, the upper chamber was coated with matrix gel. The lower chamber contained complete medium with 10% FBS. After pretreatment with TNF-α (31-45), human (5 µM, 1 hour), cells were allowed to migrate or invade for 24 hours. Cells on the lower surface of the membrane were fixed, stained with crystal violet, and counted under a microscope. [2] |

| Additional Infomation |
TNF-α Biology: Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) is a homotrimeric cytokine with pleiotropic effects, primarily known as a key regulator of inflammatory responses. It exists in a soluble form (sTNF-α) and a transmembrane precursor form (tmTNF-α). Its biological activities are mediated through two receptors: TNFR1 (expressed ubiquitously, contains a death domain, primarily pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic) and TNFR2 (expressed mainly on immune cells, promotes cell survival, proliferation, and tissue regeneration). Dysregulated or excessive TNF-α signaling is implicated in the pathogenesis of various autoimmune diseases. [1] Role in Autoimmune Diseases: The review details the pathogenic role of excessive TNF-α in several autoimmune diseases: In Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), it activates synovial fibroblasts and osteoclasts, leading to joint destruction. In Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) and Psoriasis (PS), it drives keratinocyte proliferation and inflammatory cell recruitment. In Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), it contributes to intestinal fibrosis, matrix degradation, and epithelial damage. In Noninfectious Uveitis (NIU), it promotes T cell differentiation and leukocyte infiltration into the eye. [1] Therapeutic TNF-α Inhibitors: The article reviews several clinically approved biologic drugs that inhibit TNF-α, but none are the peptide “TNF-α (31-45), human”. These include: Infliximab (chimeric monoclonal antibody), Etanercept (TNFR2-Fc fusion protein), Adalimumab (fully human monoclonal antibody), Certolizumab Pegol (PEGylated Fab’ fragment), and Golimumab (fully human monoclonal antibody). Their mechanisms involve blocking the interaction of TNF-α with its receptors (TNFR1/2). The review also lists FDA-approved biosimilars for some of these originator drugs and mentions new anti-TNF agents (e.g., Ozoralizumab) under development. [1] Important Note: The molecule “TNF-α (31-45), human” is not discussed, studied, or mentioned in this review article. The article focuses on the endogenous TNF-α cytokine as a pathogenic factor and on protein-based therapeutic agents that block its activity. [1] In this study, TNF-α (31-45), human is employed solely as a pharmacological tool to activate the NF-κB signaling pathway in vitro, in order to investigate the role of this pathway in regulating cisplatin resistance and metastatic behavior in adenoid cystic carcinoma cells.
