Hypothesis-generating for TNFR1 modulation in TNF-driven myocardial injury; leaves open translation to human cardiac disease.
Absolute Event Rate: 45% vs 22%
TNFR1 deficiency protects myocardial function and reduces inflammation in response to TNF via the SOCS3 and IL-6 pathways, suggesting a potential mechanism for mitigating TNF-induced myocardial injury.
Wang et al. (2006) studied TNF-induced myocardial inflammation (n=8). TNFR1 knockout vs. Wild-type (WT) was evaluated on SOCS3 expression (percentage of SOCS3/GAPDH). TNFR1 deficiency in isolated mouse hearts subjected to TNF infusion resulted in significantly greater SOCS3 expression (45% vs 22%) and decreased IL-6 production.
