Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha), a key cytokine, orchestrates cell growth, immune responses, and cell death via its receptors. This review details TNF signalling pathways and the distinct roles of TNFR1 and TNFR2.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cell Biology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF alpha) is a multifunctional cytokine with diverse cellular effects.
  • TNF alpha mediates processes from cell proliferation and immune responses to cell death (apoptosis and necrosis).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the structural basis of TNF signalling.
  • To elucidate the signalling pathways and cellular consequences of TNF activation.
  • To focus on the specific roles of TNF receptor (TNFR) isotypes, TNFR1 and TNFR2.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of TNF signalling mechanisms.
  • Analysis of structural and functional data for TNF receptors.
  • Examination of adaptor protein interactions and downstream signalling events.

Main Results:

  • TNF receptors activate distinct adaptor proteins, regulating kinase/phosphatase activity, lipase, and protease induction.
  • TNF signalling involves transcription factors, G-proteins, and calcium ion homeostasis.
  • TNFR1 and TNFR2 exhibit unique signalling capabilities and cellular outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • TNF alpha is a critical regulator of cellular functions through complex signalling networks.
  • Understanding TNFR1 and TNFR2 specific roles is key to comprehending TNF's pleiotropic effects.
  • This review provides insights into the structural and functional aspects of TNF signalling.
