The respective role of the two receptors of TNF in experimental cerebral malaria (CM) was investigated. During CM, a significant upregulation of TNF-receptor 2 (TNFR2), but not of TNFR1, was found in brain microvessels of susceptible, but not resistant mice. Mice genetically deficient for TNFR2 (Tnfr2null) were significantly protected from CM, while TNFR1-deficient (Tfnr1null) mice were as susceptible as wild-type mice. The protection of Tnfr2null mice could be explained by their absence of ICAM-1 upregulation and leukocyte sequestration, known to occur in brain microvessels of CM-susceptible animals.
研究了肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)的两种受体在实验性脑型疟疾(CM)中的各自作用。在CM期间,在易感但非抗性小鼠的脑微血管中发现TNF受体2(TNFR2)显著上调,而TNFR1未上调。基因缺失TNFR2(Tnfr2null)的小鼠对CM有显著保护作用,而缺乏TNFR1(Tfnr1null)的小鼠与野生型小鼠一样易感。Tnfr2null小鼠的保护作用可以通过其脑微血管中不存在已知在CM易感动物中发生的细胞间黏附分子-1(ICAM-1)上调和白细胞滞留来解释。
