Abstract excerpt
Synthesized by the heart under hemodynamic overloading (mechanical stress), TNFα exerts complex effects on the heart -beneficial as a membrane protein and detrimental as a secreted protein, which presents a dilemma in the treatment of congestive heart failure. We postulate that by selectively blocking mechanical stress-induced cardiomyocyte secretion of TNFα, a function of TNFα converting enzyme (TACE), the...
