• TNF ⁇ appears to be involved in bone resorption diseases, including arthritis where it has been determined that when activated, leukocytes will produce a bone-resorbing activity, and data suggest that TNF ⁇ contributes to this activity. ⁇ Bertolini et al, Nature 319, 516-518 (1986) and Johnson et al, Endocrinology 124(3), 1424-1427 (1989). ⁇ It has been determined that TNF ⁇ stimulates bone resorption and inhibits bone formation in vitro and in vivo through stimulation of osteoclast formation and activation combined with inhibition of osteoblast function.
• TNF ⁇ may be involved in many bone resorption diseases, including arthritis, the most compelling link with disease is the association between production of TNF ⁇ by tumor or host tissues and malignancy associated hypercalcemia ⁇ Calci. Tissue Int. (US) 46(Suppl.), S3-10 (1990) ⁇ .

• TNF ⁇ also alters the properties of endothelial cells and has various pro-coagulant activities, such as producing an increase in tissue factor pro-coagulant activity and suppression of the anticoagulant protein C pathway as well as down-regulating the expression of thrombomodulin ⁇ Sherry et al., J.

• HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus
• T lymphocyte Once an activated T lymphocyte is infected with HIV. the T lymphocyte must continue to be maintained in an activated state to permit HIV gene expression and/or HIV replication. Cytokines, specifically TNF ⁇ , are implicated in activated T-cell mediated HIV protein expression and/or virus replication by playing a role in maintaining T lymphocyte activation. Therefore, interference with cytokine activity such as by prevention or inhibition of cytokine production, notably TNF ⁇ , in an HIV-infected individual aids in limiting the maintenance of T lymphocyte caused by HIV infection.
• cytokine activity such as by prevention or inhibition of cytokine production, notably TNF ⁇
• Monocytes, macrophages, and related cells have also been implicated in maintenance of the HIV infection. These cells, like T cells, are targets for viral replication and the level of viral replication is dependent upon the activation state of the cells.
• Cytokines such as TNF ⁇
• TNF ⁇ have been shown to activate HIV replication in monocytes and/or macrophages ⁇ Poli et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 87, 782-784 (1990) ⁇ , therefore, prevention or inhibition of cytokine production or activity aids in limiting HIV progression as stated above for T cells.
• Additional studies have identified TNF ⁇ as a common factor in the activation of HIV in vitro and has provided a clear mechanism of action via a nuclear regulatory protein found in the cytoplasm of cells (Osborn, et al , PNAS 86, 2336-2340). This evidence suggests that a reduction of TNF ⁇ synthesis may have an antiviral effect in HIV infections, by reducing the transcription and thus virus production.
