Tumor necrosis factor (TNF), a potent inflammatory mediator secreted by monocytes during inflammation, was shown to significantly increase the adherence of Staphylococcus aureus to cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro. The stimulatory effect of TNF was dose dependent and was bimodal with respect to time; bacterial adhesion peaked after 4 and 16 h of stimulation with recombinant human TNF-alpha. The ability of TNF-alpha to augment staphylococcal adherence to endothelial cells was contingent upon the presence of plasma factors. Thus, the complex interaction among cytokines (such as TNF), plasma factor(s), and the endothelium serves to modulate bacterial adherence to endothelial cells.

D014409 Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Serum glycoprotein produced by activated MACROPHAGES and other mammalian MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Also known as TNF-alpha, it is only 30% homologous to TNF-beta (LYMPHOTOXIN), but they share TNF RECEPTORS.
