Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-2 (TNFR2) affects tumor development and metastasis in several ways. TNFR2 promotes tumor immune escape by virtue of its ability to stimulate various immune suppressive cell types, e.g., regulatory T-cells (Tregs) ...

Tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2), also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1B (TNFRSF1B) and CD120b, is one of two membrane receptors that binds tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα).

Here, we review the role of the TNFR2 signaling pathway in tolerance and the equilibrium of T cell responses and its connections with oncogenesis. We analyze recent discoveries concerning the targeting of TNFR2 in cancer, as well as the advantages, limitations, and …

There is compelling evidence that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor type II (TNFR2) plays a decisive role in the activation and expansion of Tregs and other types of immunosuppressive cells such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Furthermore, TNFR2 is also expressed by some tumor cells.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor 2 (TNFR2) is one of two receptors of the cytokines, TNF and lymphotoxin-α. TNFR1 is a strong inducer of proinflammatory activities. TNFR2 has proinflammatory effects too, but it also elicits strong anti-inflammatory activities and has protective effects on oligod …

Jan 10, 2019 · Increasing evidence suggests that thymus-derived, natural regulatory T cells (nTreg) express a remarkably high level of TNF Receptor 2 (TNFR2) and TNFα modulates the number or function of nTreg...

Aug 9, 2023 · Here, we demonstrated that upon infection/inflammation, NK cells upregulate the expression of TNF receptor 2 (TNFR2), which is associated with increased proliferation, metabolic activity, and...

May 21, 2010 · Research has demonstrated that agonists targeted at TNFR2 are successful at killing autoreactive T cells in an animal model of type 1 diabetes. The effect is dose-dependent.

Jan 1, 2025 · Tumor necrosis factor receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2) play key roles in mediating inflammatory response and cell death signaling, which are associated with autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancers.

Apr 15, 2022 · Activation of the TNF-α/TNFR2 pathway promotes the immunosuppressive phenotype and function of Tregs. Our study provides a new theoretical basis for TNFR2 + Tregs as a therapeutic target in gastric cancer.
