Article Abstract
Inflammatory mediators, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interferon (IFN)-γ, promote adverse outcomes in numerous types of cancer; however, their role in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of TNF-α and IFN-γ on the migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the three PTC cell lines, TPC-1, BCPAP and K1. The effect of TNF-α and IFN-γ on cell migration and invasion was assessed by wound-healing and Transwell assays. In addition, the mRNA and protein expression levels of the EMT makers, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and vimentin, were analyzed using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and immunoblot analysis. The wound-healing and Transwell experiments revealed that TNF-α and IFN-γ increased the migratory and invasive behavior of PTC cells (P<0.05). RT-qPCR revealed that TNF-α and IFN-γ downregulated E-cadherin mRNA, while they upregulated N-cadherin and vimentin mRNA expression levels. These results were further confirmed by the immunoblot analysis. The results of the present study suggest that TNF-α and IFN-γ induce EMT and malignant progression in human PTC cells.

Cervical lymph node tuberculosis (LNTB) is the most common manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, resulting from the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. The immune response against TB is regulated by several cytokines, which have single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), leading to different levels of expression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of LNTB with the TNF, IL8, IL10, IL12B and IFNG gene polymorphisms in Mexican patients.

Introduction: This study evaluated the influence of interleukin-10 (IL10) gene -1082G>A and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) gene -308G>A polymorphisms in the donor and recipients on the acute rejection (AR) episodes and delayed graft function (DGF) in kidney transplant recipients.
Materials And Methods: The IL10 -1082G>A and TNF -308G>A polymorphisms were determined in 100 kidney allograft recipients and their donors using the polymerase chain reaction-amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods. Transplantation outcomes were determined in terms of AR and DGF criteria.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed blood samples from 172 RA patients and 160 healthy controls to look for variations in these genes using PCR-RFLP techniques.
- * Results indicate that the TNF-α 308AA genotype and the TNFRII 196M/R polymorphism are connected to higher susceptibility to RA, while the TNF-α 308GG genotype is linked to greater disease severity.
