Post-transcriptional regulation of pro-inflammatory gene expression.
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
The cytokine tumour necrosis factor (TNF)alpha is a vital mediator of the innate immune response, and a pleiotropic regulator of cellular function. Its involvement in rheumatoid arthritis is illustrated by the clinical benefits of TNF alpha blockade. Post-transcriptional regulation (the control of mRNA stability and translation) appears to play a critical role in the regulation of TNF alpha expression by mitogen...
