The researchers determined that the children with otulipenia might respond to drugs that turned off
tumor necrosis factor, a chemical messenger
involved in systemic inflammation.
They have detected, for example, revved up signaling molecules
involved in inflammation, such as
tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and other cytokines; skewed populations of natural killer cells and other immune cells; imbalances in the protein - destroying enzymes called proteases; and a shortening of the telomeres, the «end caps» on chromosomes, which indicates prematurely aged cells.
Of note, several proteins
involved in the
tumor necrosis factor, or TNF, pathway increased in activity during the induction and execution phases.
Han et al. demonstrated that in Caco2 cells, extracellular NAD + inhibited the binding of NF - kB to DNA by blocking the transcription of different genes
involved in both inflammatory and aging pathways (interlukin - 6, interlukin - 1 beta,
tumor necrosis factor alpha) 27.
