Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is an important factor in various acute
and chronic neurodegenerative disorders. In retinal ischemia, we show
early, transient upregulation of TNF, TNF receptor 1 (TNF-R1), and
TNF-R2 6 hr after reperfusion preceding neuronal cell loss. To assess
the specific role of TNF and its receptors, we compared ischemia-reperfusion-induced retinal damage in mice deficient for
TNF-R1, TNF-R2, or TNF by quantifying neuronal cell loss 8 d after
the insult. Surprisingly, TNF deficiency did not affect overall cell
loss, yet absence of TNF-R1 led to a strong reduction of
neurodegeneration and lack of TNF-R2 led to an enhancement of
neurodegeneration, indicative of TNF-independent and TNF-dependent processes in the retina, with TNF-R1 augmenting neuronal death and
TNF-R2 promoting neuroprotection. Western blot analyses of retinas
revealed that reduction of neuronal cell loss in TNF-R1 / animals
correlated with the presence of activated Akt/protein kinase B
(PKB). Inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling
pathway reverted neuroprotection in TNF-R1-deficient mice, indicating
an instrumental role of Akt/PKB in neuroprotection and TNF-R2
dependence of this pathway. Selective inhibition of TNF-R1 function may
represent a new approach to reduce ischemia-induced neuronal damage,
being potentially superior to strategies aimed at suppression of TNF
activity in general.
