We have identified a small-molecule inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) that promotes subunit disassembly of this trimeric cytokine family member. The compound inhibits TNF-alpha activity in biochemical and cell-based assays with median inhibitory concentrations of 22 and 4.6

The relationship between tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) during the initiation and progression of metastasis is still unclear. Here, a role for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in metastasis was identified, as well as a role in the
TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α) is initially synthesized as a transmembrane protein that is cleaved by TACE (TNF-α-converting enzyme) to release soluble TNF-α. The elevated level of TNF-α in the brain and circulation in heart failure (HF) suggests an increase in
