nervous system
• wild-type neurons co-cultured with microglial cells exposed to TFN-alpha exhibit decreased cell death compared to neurons co-cultured with similarly treated wild-type microglial cells
|
• TNF-alpha fails to activate microglial cells unlike in similarly treated wild-type microglia
• LPS activation of microglial cells is suppressed compared with similarly treated wild-type cells
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• at 1-3 days post-renal I/R injury, serum creatinine levels are significantly reduced relative to those in similarly treated wild-type controls
|
• TNF-alpha fails to activate microglial cells unlike in similarly treated wild-type microglia
|
• LPS activation of microglial cells is suppressed compared with similarly treated wild-type cells
|
• following renal ischemic reperfusion (I/R) injury, homozygotes show significantly attenuated tubular cast formation, cellular necrosis, and red cell trapping in the corticomedullary region (day 1), and a significantly reduced number of dilated tubules (day 5) relative to similarly treated wild-type controls
• at 6, 12, and 24 hrs post I/R injury, kidney ATP levels are 80%, 73%, and 77%, respectively, of those in sham-operated controls, unlike in postischemic wild-type kidneys where ATP levels decline to 28%, 26%, and 43%
• however, no differences in the mortality rate, ROS levels, or number of nuclei with DNA strand breaks in proximal tubules are observed relative to wild-type controls
|
immune system
• TNF-alpha fails to activate microglial cells unlike in similarly treated wild-type microglia
• LPS activation of microglial cells is suppressed compared with similarly treated wild-type cells
|
• following renal I/R injury, homozygotes exhibit decreased neutrophil infiltration (at 6, 12, and 24 hrs) and reduced expression of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and ICAM-1 (at 12 and 24 hrs) relative to similarly treated wild-type controls
|
cellular
• at 12 hrs post I/R injury, the number of apoptotic (TUNEL+) proximal tubule cells in the outer medulla is significantly decreased relative to that in similarly treated wild-type kidneys
|
• wild-type neurons co-cultured with microglial cells exposed to TFN-alpha exhibit decreased cell death compared to neurons co-cultured with similarly treated wild-type microglial cells
|
renal/urinary system

• however, no differences in the mortality rate, ROS levels, or number of nuclei with DNA strand breaks in proximal tubules are observed relative to wild-type controls
|
• at 24 hrs post-renal I/R injury, GFR is significantly augmented relative to that in similarly treated wild-type controls
|
hematopoietic system
• TNF-alpha fails to activate microglial cells unlike in similarly treated wild-type microglia
• LPS activation of microglial cells is suppressed compared with similarly treated wild-type cells
