pubmed:abstractText
The rat/mouse T-cell hybridoma PC60 was transfected either with hTNF-R55 cDNA, hTNF-R75 cDNA, or both. Receptor-specific stimulation was achieved using agonistic monoclonal antibodies or receptor-specific muteins of hTNF. Either hTNF-R55 or hTNF-R75 could mediate the activation of NF-kappa B and the induction of GM-CSF, IL-6, and IFN-gamma. But only in cells carrying both hTNF-R55 and hTNF-R75, was TNF able to induce apoptosis. This apoptosis could be inhibited almost completely by cotransfection with human bcl-2 cDNA. Functional cooperation was observed between liganded and unliganded receptors for the induction of apoptosis. In vitro protein kinase activity was detected only in TNF-R75 immunoprecipitates from cells in which the receptor was signaling. Direct evidence was obtained for reactive oxygen intermediates of mitochondrial origin responsible for TNF-induced cytotoxicity in L929 cells.
