Role of TNF-α in the Pathogenesis of Migraine.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neurogenic neuroinflammation has a wide role in migraine pathogenesis including the transition from episodic migraine to chronic one. The seed molecule of neurogenic neuroinflammation, i.e., the TNF-α proinflammatory molecule, has gathered a lot of attention. This pleiotropic cytokine is a classical component of inflammatory soup, secreted by the microglial cell, and promotes a wide range of inflammatory reactions.

Aim

In this review, we aimed to provide a culminating and comprehending glimpse into the TNF-α in association with the migraine.

Method

A systematic literature survey method with a mixture of keywords was utilized to grasp the different elements that represent the association between TNF-α and migraine. Discussion. Highlighted the probable involvement of the TNF-α with migraine, the complexity of the matter such as activation of NF-KB signaling cascade, autoactivation, sensitization, and increased likelihood of transition cannot be neglected. Being TNF-α as a core node, it becomes the factor for linking diseases such as chronic inflammatory disorders, including COVID-19, and also interaction with other genes to develop severe conditions.

Conclusion

To this end, TNF-α plays a critical role in chronification, and inhibiting its signaling would likely be a crucial strategy for migraine therapy.

Project description:Oxidative stress plays an important role in type 2 diabetes-related endothelial dysfunction. We hypothesized that resveratrol protects against oxidative stress-induced endothelial dysfunction in aortas of diabetic mice by inhibiting tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)-induced activation of NAD(P)H oxidase and preserving phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS).We examined endothelial-dependent vasorelaxation to acetylcholine (ACh) in diabetic mice (Lepr(db)) and normal controls (m Lepr(db)). Relaxation to ACh was blunted in Lepr(db) compared with m Lepr(db), whereas endothelial-independent vasorelaxation to sodium nitroprusside (SNP) was comparable. Resveratrol improved ACh-induced vasorelaxation in Lepr(db) without affecting dilator response to SNP. Impaired relaxation to ACh in Lepr(db) was partially reversed by incubating the vessels with NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor apocynin and a membrane-permeable superoxide dismutase mimetic TEMPOL. Dihydroethidium (DHE) staining showed an elevated superoxide (O(2)(.-)) production in Lepr(db), whereas both resveratrol and apocynin significantly reduced O(2)(.-) signal. Resveratrol increased nitrite/nitrate levels and eNOS (Ser1177) phosphorylation, and attenuated H(2)O(2) production and nitrotyrosine (N-Tyr) content in Lepr(db) aortas. Furthermore, resveratrol attenuated the mRNA and protein expression of TNFalpha. Genetic deletion of TNFalpha in diabetic mice (db(TNF-)/db(TNF-)) was associated with a reduced NAD(P)H oxidase activity and vascular O(2)(.-) production and an increased eNOS (Ser1177) phosphorylation, suggesting that TNFalpha plays a pivotal role in aortic dysfunction in diabetes by inducing oxidative stress and reducing NO bioavailability.Resveratrol restored endothelial function in type 2 diabetes by inhibiting TNFalpha-induced activation of NAD(P)H oxidase and preserving eNOS phosphorylation, suggesting the potential for new treatment approaches to promote vascular health in metabolic diseases.
