We have demonstrated that A375 melanoma cells express mRNA for both types of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors and receptor proteins on their plasma membranes. Specific agonist and blocking antibodies to either 55-kDa (TNF-R1) or 75-kDa (TNF-R2) TNF receptors combined with two-dimensional gel analysis were employed to determine which receptor type is responsible for mediating the induction of individual melanoma proteins. Our results indicate that the enhanced synthesis of proteins 21/>7 (M(r)/pI), 28/5.6, and 41/5.7 is selectively induced through TNF-R1. TNF induces these proteins; antagonist antibody to TNF-R1 prevents their induction by TNF, and TNF-R1 agonist induces them in the absence of TNF. Identification of these proteins by immunoblot analysis proved that 21/>7 is manganese superoxide dismutase, protein 28/5.6 is unrelated to 27/28-kDa heat shock protein, and protein 41/5.7 is plasminogen activator inhibitor-2. Furthermore, TNF cytotoxicity for A375 cells is also mediated by TNF-R1. These studies indicate that TNF-R1 is a critical signaling receptor for TNF action on A375 cells and demonstrate the potential use of TNF-R1 antibodies to selectively block or enhance specific effects of TNF on melanoma cells.

Enhanced synthesis of tumor necrosis factor-inducible proteins, plasminogen activator inhibitor-2, manganese superoxide dismutase, and protein 28/5.6, is selectively triggered by the 55-kDa tumor necrosis factor receptor in human melanoma cells.
