Article Abstract

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-like cytokine 1A (TL1A), a member of the TNF family, exists in the form of membrane-bound (mTL1A) and soluble protein (sTL1A). TL1A binding its only known functional receptor death domain receptor 3 (DR3) affects the transmission of various signals. This study first proposed that the TL1A/DR3 axis was significantly upregulated in patients and mice with both asthma and high TNF-a expression and in TNF-a-stimulated epithelial Beas-2B cells. Two independent approaches were used to demonstrate that the TL1A/DR3 axis of mice was strongly correlated with TNF-a in terms of exacerbating asthmatic epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT). First, high expression levels of EMT proteins (e.g., collagen I, fibronectin, N-cadherin, and vimentin) and TL1A/DR3 axis were observed when mice airways were stimulated by recombinant mouse TNF-a protein. Moreover, EMT protein and TL1A/DR3 axis expression synchronously decreased after mice with OVA-induced asthma were treated with infliximab by neutralizing TNF-a activity. Furthermore, the OVA-induced EMT of asthmatic mice was remarkably improved upon the deletion of the TL1A/DR3 axis by knocking out the gene. TL1A siRNA remarkably intervened EMT formation induced by TNF-a in the Beas-2B cells. In addition, EMT was induced by the addition of high concentrations of recombinant human sTL1A with the cell medium. The TL1A overexpression pc-mTL1A remarkably increased the EMT formation induced by TNF-a. Overall, these findings indicate that the TL1A/DR3 axis may have a therapeutic role for asthmatic with high TNF-a level.

Purpose: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) associated with hepatitis-B-virus (HBV) is a life-threatening condition characterized by severe hepatic dysfunction. The TL1A/DR3 signaling axis modulates immune responses and contributes to hepatic inflammation. This study aimed to investigate the methylation level of TL1A/DR3 promoter, explore its ability to predict prognosis, and establish a prognostic model combined with clinical indicators.

Article Synopsis
  • Airway epithelial cell necroptosis plays a significant role in worsening asthma and allergic inflammation, with the TL1A/DR3 pathway linked to potential therapeutic effects.
  • Research showed increased levels of necroptosis markers in asthmatic patients and OVA-induced mice, suggesting that targeting necroptosis can reduce airway inflammation and improve barrier function.
  • Blocking necroptosis through genetic knockout or pharmacological inhibition led to decreased inflammation and recovery of airway integrity, implicating TL1A as a key player in airway epithelial dysfunction in asthma.

Alveolar epithelial barrier is a potential therapeutic target for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, an effective intervention against alveolar epithelial barrier has not been developed. Here, based on single-cell RNA and mRNA sequencing results, death receptor 3 (DR3) and its only known ligand tumor necrosis factor ligand-associated molecule 1A (TL1A) were significantly reduced in epithelium from an ARDS mice and cell models.

Purpose: Tumor necrosis factor-like ligand 1A (TL1A), especially its secreted form, has been shown to contribute to eosinophilic inflammation and mucus production, cardinal features of asthma, through its receptor, death receptor 3 (DR3). However, the role of the TL1A-DR3 axis in asthma, especially in terms of airway remodeling, has not yet been fully understood.

Methods: The present study investigated the expression and secretion of TL1A in the lung and human bronchial epithelial cells.
