Function

The TNF protein, primarily secreted by macrophages, binds to TNFRSF1A/TNFR1 and TNFRSF1B/TNFBR. It induces cell death in specific tumor cell lines and acts as a potent pyrogen, causing fever directly or by stimulating interleukin-1 secretion. TNF is implicated in cachexia induction and can stimulate cell proliferation and differentiation under certain conditions. It impairs regulatory T-cells (Treg) function in rheumatoid arthritis patients through FOXP3 dephosphorylation, upregulating protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), which dephosphorylates 'Ser-418' of FOXP3, inactivating FOXP3 and leading to defective Treg cells. TNF is a key mediator of cell death in the anticancer effect of BCG-stimulated neutrophils with DIABLO/SMAC mimetic in the RT4v6 bladder cancer cell line. It induces insulin resistance in adipocytes by inhibiting insulin-induced IRS1 tyrosine phosphorylation and glucose uptake. TNF plays a role in angiogenesis by inducing VEGF production with IL1B and IL6. Additionally, the TNF intracellular domain (ICD) form stimulates IL12 production in dendritic cells.

    ab1793 staining TNFα in RAW 264.7 cells treated with (R,S)-rolipram ((R,S)-Rolipram, Selective PDE4 inhibitor ab120029), by ICC/IF. Decrease in TNFα expression correlates with increased concentration of (R,S)-rolipram, as described in literature.
    The cells were incubated at 37°C for 24h in media containing different concentrations of (R,S)-Rolipram, Selective PDE4 inhibitor ab120029 ((R,S)-rolipram) in DMSO, fixed with 100% methanol for 5 minutes at -20°C and blocked with PBS containing 10% goat serum, 0.3 M glycine, 1% BSA and 0.1% tween for 2h at room temperature. Staining of the treated cells with ab1793 (5 µg/ml) was performed overnight at 4°C in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.1% tween. A DyLight 488 goat anti-mouse polyclonal antibody (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96879) at 1/250 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and are shown in blue.

    Overlay histogram showing RAW 264.7 cells stained with ab1793 (red line). The cells were fixed with methanol (5 min) and incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab1793, 1/10 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (Mouse IgG1, Kappa Monoclonal [B11/6] - Isotype Control ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a decreased signal in RAW 264.7 cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) used under the same conditions.

    Please note that Abcam do not have data for use of this antibody on non-fixed cells. We welcome any customer feedback.
