Tumor necrosis factor (TNF, TNFalpha) is implicated in various pathophysiological processes and can be either protective, as in host defense, or deleterious, as in autoimmunity or toxic shock. To uncover the in vivo functions of TNF produced by different cell types, we generated mice with TNF ablation targeted to various leukocyte subsets. Systemic TNF in response to lipopolysaccharide was produced mainly by macrophages and neutrophils. This source of TNF was indispensable for resistance to an intracellular pathogen, Listeria, whereas T-cell-derived TNF was important for protection against high bacterial load. Additionally, both T-cell-derived TNF and macrophage-derived TNF had critical and nonredundant functions in the promotion of autoimmune hepatitis. Our data suggest that T-cell-specific TNF ablation may provide a therapeutic advantage over systemic blockade.
肿瘤坏死因子(TNF,TNFα)参与多种病理生理过程,它既可以具有保护作用,如在宿主防御中,也可能有害,如在自身免疫或中毒性休克中。为了揭示不同细胞类型产生的TNF在体内的功能,我们构建了将TNF基因敲除靶向于各种白细胞亚群的小鼠。对脂多糖产生的全身性TNF主要由巨噬细胞和中性粒细胞产生。这种TNF来源对于抵抗细胞内病原体李斯特菌是不可或缺的,而T细胞衍生的TNF对于抵抗高细菌载量很重要。此外,T细胞衍生的TNF和巨噬细胞衍生的TNF在促进自身免疫性肝炎方面都具有关键且不可替代的作用。我们的数据表明,T细胞特异性TNF基因敲除可能比全身阻断具有治疗优势。
