Abstract excerpt
Cytokines of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family regulate inflammation and immunity, and a subset of this family can also induce cell death in a context-dependent manner. Although TNFalpha is cytotoxic to certain tumor cell lines, it induces apoptosis in normal cells only when NFkappaB signaling is blocked. Here we show that the matricellular protein CCN1/CYR61 can unmask the cytotoxic potential of TNFalpha...
