Abstract:
α-Tocopherol (vitamin E) is an essential nutrient for all vertebrates. From the eight naturally occurring members of the vitamin E family, α-tocopherol is the most biologically active species and is selectively retained in tissues. The hepatic α-tocopherol transfer protein (TTP) preferentially selects dietary α-tocopherol and facilitates its transport through the hepatocyte and its secretion to the circulation. In doing so, TTP regulates body-wide levels of α-tocopherol. The mechanisms by which TTP facilitates α-tocopherol trafficking in hepatocytes are poorly understood. We found that the int

Abstract Tristetraprolin (TTP) is a member of the CCCH tandem zinc-finger class of proteins. It can bind to and destabilize mRNAs encoding tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Conversely, mice deficient in TTP develop a complex syndrome characterized by cachexia, myeloid hyperplasia, and joint and skin inflammation. Studies using anti–TNF-α neutralizing antibodies demonstrated that this syndrome, at least in part, is a consequence of the excess production of TNF-α in the absence of TTP.

Abstract:
The tristetraprolin (TTP) family of CCCH tandem zinc-finger proteins is composed of three known members in mammals, with a fourth member recently identified in frogs and fish. Although TTP was first cloned more than 10 years ago as a growth factor-induced gene, a physiological function for the protein has been discovered only within the last few years. TTP is now known to bind to so-called class II AU-rich elements within the mRNAs that encode tumour necrosis factor-α and granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor. In both cases, this binding results in destabilization of the mRNA and de

Abstract BACKGROUND. Endothelial damage is a prominent feature of TTP, evidenced by elevated EMP levels during acute episodes of TTP. However, endothelial repair in TTP remains to be investigated. ECFC are key players in endothelial regeneration, and their assay in blood has been employed to monitor endothelial remodeling. We investigated circulating ECFC in TTP and their relationship with EMP. METHODS. Six patients with acquired TTP were studied. All were treated with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). All but one underwent complete remission (CR). The one who failed to achieve CR with TPE su

Abstract BACKGROUND: Deficiency of the von Willebrand factor (vWF)-cleaving protease ADAMTS13 is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). A recent study has shown that in addition to liver, endothelial cells (EC) are a site of production of ADAMTS13 [D. Shang et al, Blood online 2006, prepub.]. Perturbation of EC has been implicated as the primary lesion in TTP and it has been demonstrated that markers of EC activation are increased in TTP. We previously documented elevated EMP positive for unusually large vWF (ULvWF) in TTP patients, an

Abstract:
Tristetraprolin (TTP) is an RNA-binding protein that targets numerous immunomodulatory mRNA transcripts for degradation. Many TTP targets are key players in the pathogenesis of periodontal bone loss, including tumor necrosis factor–α. To better understand the extent that host immune factors play during periodontal bone loss, we assessed alveolar bone levels, inflammation and osteoclast activity in periodontal tissues, and immune response in draining cervical lymph nodes in TTP-deficient and wild-type (WT) mice in an aging study.
