Article Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor alpha converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM17) is a member of the A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family of ectodomain shedding proteinases. It regulates many inflammatory processes by cleaving several transmembrane proteins, including tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and its receptors tumour necrosis factor alpha receptor 1 and tumour necrosis factor alpha receptor 2. There is evidence that TACE is involved in several inflammatory diseases, such as ischaemia, heart failure, arthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes and cancer as well as neurological and immune diseases. This review summarizes the latest discoveries regarding the mechanism of action and regulation of TACE. It also focuses on the role of TACE in atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD), highlighting clinical studies that have investigated its expression and protein activity. The multitude of substrates cleaved by TACE make this enzyme an attractive target for therapy and a candidate for biomarker research and development in CAD.

Crohn's disease pathology is modeled in TNF mice that overproduce tumor necrosis factor (TNF) to drive disease through TNF receptors. An alternative ligand for TNF receptors, soluble LTα, is produced by B cells, but has received scarce attention because LTα also partners with LTβ to generate membrane-tethered LTαβ that promotes tertiary lymphoid tissue-another feature of Crohn's disease. We hypothesized that B cell-derived LTαβ would critically affect ileitis in TNF mice.

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), an oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR), triggers a series of vascular lesions and inflammatory responses and results in visual impairment or even blindness. Triptolide (TP) possesses many pharmacological properties, including immunosuppressive and anti-tumour effects. However, the effects of TP on ROP and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Background: Maternal childhood maltreatment has been associated with higher risk of adverse neurodevelopment in offspring. Chronic systemic inflammation has been associated with childhood maltreatment and has been identified as a gestational risk factor for adverse neurodevelopment in offspring. Thus, inflammation may be a mechanism by which maternal exposure to maltreatment affects offspring neurodevelopment.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major global health burden. While interferon-alpha (IFNα) therapy demonstrates antiviral and immunomodulatory effects, reliable prognostic markers for sustained response are needed. Transaminases, hematological parameters, and cytokines may serve as potential predictors, but their dynamic changes during IFNα therapy remain poorly characterized.
