腫瘤壞死因子
TNF（全稱腫瘤壞死因子，Tumor Necrosis Factor）是一種能夠直接殺傷腫瘤細胞而對正常細胞無明顯毒性的細胞因子，是迄今為止所發(fā)現(xiàn)的直接殺傷腫瘤作用最強的生物活性因子之一。最初是在1975年，由E.A. Carswell等人發(fā)現(xiàn)，后于1985年經(jīng)Shalaby命名，由巨噬細胞產(chǎn)生的TNF命名為TNF-α，而由T淋巴細胞產(chǎn)生的淋巴毒素（lymphotoxin，LT)命名為TNF-β。
雖然TNF-α與TNF-β僅有約30%的同源性，但它們卻擁有共同的受體。TNFα的生物學(xué)活性占TNF總活性的70 %～95 %，因此目前常說的TNF多指TNF-α。
TNFα是一種涉及到系統(tǒng)性炎癥的細胞因子，主要由巨噬細胞分泌。TNFα的主要功能是調(diào)節(jié)免疫細胞，作為一種內(nèi)源性致熱原，可以導(dǎo)致發(fā)熱，引起細胞凋亡，組織腫瘤發(fā)生和病毒復(fù)制，并可以通過刺激細胞分泌IL1和IL6對敗血癥作出反應(yīng)。TNFα功能失調(diào)涉及多種疾病，比如阿爾茲海默癥、銀屑病、癌癥、重度抑郁和腸炎等。TNF家族除這兩種外還發(fā)現(xiàn)約30種。

正如我們前面所說的，當(dāng)我們提到TNF時，我們通常指的是TNFα。目前有關(guān)TNFα的作用機制已基本明了。 TNFα可以結(jié)合兩種受體，TNFR1（TNF受體1型）和TNFR2（TNF受體2型）。 TNFR1可在大多數(shù)組織中表達，可以與膜上的TNF可溶性三聚體形式結(jié)合并活化。而TNFR2通常存在于免疫系統(tǒng)的細胞中，可以與膜結(jié)合的TNF同源三聚體形式起作用。但就目前的研究數(shù)據(jù)而言，大多數(shù)關(guān)于TNF信號傳導(dǎo)均來自TNFR1，而TNFR2的作用就相對較小。TNFα與受體結(jié)合后，可激活多條信號通路，包括NFκB和MAPK信號傳導(dǎo)途徑。
此外，基于TNFα可以殺死腫瘤細胞這一特性， TNFα抑制劑已被用于臨床。TNFα抑制劑是一種抑制對TNFα生理反應(yīng)的藥物。TNFα可參與自身免疫和免疫介導(dǎo)疾病，例如類風(fēng)濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎、強直性脊柱炎、炎性腸病、牛皮癬、化膿性汗腺炎和難治性哮喘，它本身就是引起炎癥的一個重要因素，所有TNF抑制劑可用于這些自身免疫和免疫介導(dǎo)疾病的治療。目前已上市的TNFα抑制劑包括依那西普、英夫利昔單抗、阿達木單抗、賽妥珠單抗和戈利木單抗，都是通過與TNFα結(jié)合來抑制其與對應(yīng)受體結(jié)合起作用。
