Based on findings that the cytotoxic effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) are closely related to levels of intracellular oxygen radicals, and on the results of TNF gene transfection studies, the hypothesis was made that endogenous TNF (enTNF) acts as a protective factor against exogenous TNF by inducing inhibitors or scavengers of oxygen radicals. In order to test this hypothesis, we investigated the intracellular levels of manganous superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and glutathione (GSH) in L-M(pNTnF) cells carrying a TNF gene induced by dexamethasone (DM). When L-M(pNTnF) cells were treated with DM they expressed enTNF, and acquired resistance to exogenous TNF. There was no change in the GSH concentration after enTNF induction, but a 1.9- to 3.9-fold increase in MnSOD levels was noted. Our findings suggest that enTNF exerts its protective function against the cytocidal effect of exogenous TNF by inducing MnSOD production.
