Abstract
BACKGROUND Environmental arsenic (As) exposure is strongly related to the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Pulmonary epithelial cells apoptosis is implicated in the pathophysiological mechanisms of COPD. However, the role of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), one biomarker of apoptosis, remains unclear in As-mediated pulmonary function alternations in COPD patients. METHODS This study included 239 COPD patients. The serum level of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The blood As level was determined through inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). RESULTS Blood As levels exhibited a negative and dose-dependent correlation with pulmonary function. Per unit elevation of blood arsenic concentrations was related to reductions of 0.339 L in FEV1, 0.311 L in FVC, 1.171% in FEV1/FVC%, and 7.999% in FEV1% in COPD subjects. Additionally, a positive dose-response correlation of blood As with serum TRAIL was found in COPD subjects. Additionally, the level of serum TRAIL was negatively linked to lung function. Elevated TRAIL significantly mediated As-induced decreases of 11.05%, 13.35%, and 31.78% in FVC, FEV1, and FEV1%, respectively among the COPD patients. CONCLUSION Blood As level is positively correlated with pulmonary function decline and serum TRAIL increase in individuals with COPD. Our findings suggest that elevated TRAIL levels may serve as a mediating mechanism through which As contributes to declining lung function in COPD patients.

Abstract
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL or Apo2 or TNFSF10) belongs to the TNF superfamily. When bound to its agonistic receptors, TRAIL can induce apoptosis in tumour cells, while sparing healthy cells. Over the last three decades, this tumour selectivity has prompted many studies aiming at evaluating the anti-tumoral potential of TRAIL or its derivatives. Although most of these attempts have failed, so far, novel formulations are still being evaluated. However, emerging evidence indicates that TRAIL can also trigger a non-canonical signal transduction pathway that is likely to be detrimental for its use in oncology. Likewise, an increasing number of studies suggest that in some circumstances TRAIL can induce, via Death receptor 5 (DR5), tumour cell motility, potentially leading to and contributing to tumour metastasis. While the pro-apoptotic signal transduction machinery of TRAIL is well known from a mechanistic point of view, that of the non-canonical pathway is less understood. In this study, we the current state of knowledge of TRAIL non-canonical signalling.

Abstract
Transcriptomic evidence from human myocardium in myocardial infarction (MI) is still not sufficient. Thus, there is a need for studies on human cardiac samples in relation to the clinical data of patients. The purpose of our pilot study was to investigate the transcriptomic profile of myocardium in the infarct zone, in comparison to the remote myocardium, in patients with fatal MI, via microarray analysis. This study included four patients with fatal MI type 1. We selected histologically verified samples from within the infarct area (n = 4) and remote myocardium (n = 4). The whole transcriptome was evaluated using microarray analysis. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) clustered in the infarct area and in the remote myocardium allowed their differentiation. We identified a total of 1785 DEGs (8.32%) in the infarct area, including 1692 up-regulated (94.79%) and 93 down-regulated (5.21%) genes. The top 10 up-regulated genes were TRAIL, SUCLA2, NAE1, PDCL3, OSBPL5, FCGR2C, SELE, CEP63, ST3GAL3 and C4orf3. In the infarct area, we found up-regulation of seventeen apoptosis-related genes, eleven necroptosis-related, and six necrosis-related genes. Transcriptome profiling of the myocardium in patients with MI remains a relevant area of research for the formation of new scientific hypotheses and a potential way to increase the translational significance of studies into myocardial infarction.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and TRAIL-receptor-2 (TRAIL-R2) are associated with atherosclerosis. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the potential association between TRAIL/TRAIL-R2 with mortality or cardiovascular (CV) events. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched for reports published up to May 2021. Reports were included when the association between TRAIL or TRAIL-R2 and mortality or CV events was reported. Considering the heterogeneity between studies, we used the random-effects model for all analyses. Ultimately, the meta-analysis included 18 studies (16,295 patients). The average follow-up ranged from 0.25 to 10 years. Decreased TRAIL levels were negatively associated with all-cause mortality [rank variable, hazard ratio (HR), 95% CI, 2.93, 1.94-4.42; I2 = 0.0%, Pheterogeneity = 0.835]. Increased TRAIL-R2 levels were positively associated with all-cause mortality (continuous variable, HR, 95% CI, 1.43, 1.23-1.65; I2 = 0.0%, Pheterogeneity = 0.548; rank variable, HR, 95% CI, 7.08, 2.70-18.56; I2 = 46.5%, Pheterogeneity = 0.154), CV mortality (continuous variable, HR, 95% CI, 1.33, 1.14-1.57; I2 = 0.0%, Pheterogeneity = 0.435), myocardial infarction (continuous variable, HR, 95% CI, 1.23, 1.02-1.49; rank variable, HR, 95% CI, 1.49, 1.26-1.76; I2 = 0.7%, Pheterogeneity = 0.402), and new-onset heart failure (rank variable, HR, 95% CI, 3.23, 1.32-7.87; I2 = 83.0%, Pheterogeneity = 0.003). In conclusion, decreased TRAIL was negatively associated with all-cause mortality, and increased TRAIL-R2 was positively associated with all-cause mortality, CV mortality, myocardial infarction, and heart failure.

Abstract
Ischemic heart disease is the principal cause of death worldwide and clinically manifests as myocardial infarction (MI), stable angina, and ischemic cardiomyopathy. Myocardial infarction is defined as an irreversible injury due to severe and prolonged myocardial ischemia inducing myocardial cell death. Revascularization is helpful in reducing loss of contractile myocardium and improving clinical outcome. Reperfusion rescues myocardium from cell death but also induces an additional injury called ischemia-reperfusion injury. Multiple mechanisms are involved in ischemia-reperfusion injury, such as oxidative stress, intracellular calcium overload, apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, and inflammation. Various members of the tumor necrosis factor family play a key role in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. In this article, the role of TNFα, CD95L/CD95, TRAIL, and the RANK/RANKL/OPG axis in the regulation of myocardial tissue damage is reviewed together with their potential use as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Hyperglycaemia and increased circulating saturated fatty acids are key metabolic features of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that contribute to diabetic retinopathy pathogenesis. Contrarily, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to improve or prevent T2DM. This study aimed at investigating the effect of TRAIL in an in vitro model of human retinal pigment epithelium: the ARPE-19 cell line, treated with palmitic acid (PA) in the presence of high glucose concentration. PA caused a drop in cellular metabolic activity and cell viability as well as an increase in apoptosis rates, which were paralleled by an upregulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation as well as mitochondrial fragmentation. Despite ARPE-19 cells expressing TRAIL-R2 at the cell surface, TRAIL failed to counteract the cytotoxic effects of PA. However, when TRAIL was used alongside PA and then removed or used alone following PA challenge, it partially attenuated PA-induced lipotoxicity. This effect of TRAIL appeared to rely upon the modulation of inflammation and ROS production. Thus, TRAIL exerted a trophic effect on ARPE-19 cells, which became evident only when the lipotoxic insult was removed. Nevertheless, whether recombinant TRAIL might have a therapeutic potential for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy requires further investigation.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can trigger the apoptosis pathways through binding to relative death receptors. However, the relationship of TRAIL with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) was unclear. This study aims at exploring the relationships between circulatory TRAIL with severity and prognosis in CAP patients through a prospective cohort study. The whole of 239 CAP patients was enrolled. Demographic characteristics and clinical information were analyzed. TRAIL and inflammatory cytokines were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Circulatory TRAIL was gradually increased in accord with CAP severity scores. Spearman or Pearson correlative analysis indicated that circulatory TRAIL was strongly associated with physiologic indicators among CAP patients. Mixed logistic and linear regression models revealed that circulatory TRAIL was positively correlated with the severity scores in CAP patients. After adjusting for confounders, higher levels of circulatory TRAIL on admission significantly elevated the risks of ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, longer hospital stays, or even death during hospitalization. The predictive capacities of serum TRAIL for death were higher compared with CAP severity scores, inflammatory and infectious indicators. There are obviously positive dose-response relationships between circulatory TRAIL on admission with the severity and poor prognostic outcomes in CAP patients. Circulatory TRAIL on admission may be used as a potential biomarker in predicting the severity and poor prognosis for CAP patients.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of coronary heart disease is closely related to blood stasis. Taohong Siwu decoction (THSW for short) is one of the most widely used prescriptions for activating blood and removing stasis. Clinical research has confirmed its curative effect on coronary heart disease. However, its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, this paper reviewed the clinical efficacy of THSW and determine its effective components based on a comprehensive literature review. Furthermore, the core components and targets of THSW in treating coronary heart disease using molecular docking were verified, and the interaction sites were predicted to construct a theoretical basis for the clinical application of THSW.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a member of the TNF protein superfamily, represents a multifaceted cytokine with unique biological features including both proapoptotic and pro-survival effects in different cell types depending on receptor interactions and local stimuli. Beyond its extensively studied anti-tumor and immunomodulatory properties, a growing body of experimental and clinical evidence over the past two decades suggests a protective role of TRAIL in the development of type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 (T2DM) diabetes mellitus. This evidence can be briefly summarized by the following observations: (i) acceleration and exacerbation of T1DM and T2DM by TRAIL blockade or genetic deficiency in animal models, (ii) prevention and amelioration of T1DM and T2DM with recombinant TRAIL treatment or systemic TRAIL gene delivery in animal models, (iii) significantly reduced circulating soluble TRAIL levels in patients with T1DM and T2DM both at disease onset and in more advanced stages of diabetes-related complications such as cardiovascular disease and diabetic nephropathy, (iv) increase of serum TRAIL levels in diabetic patients after initiation of antidiabetic treatment and metabolic improvement. To explore the underlying mechanisms and provide mechanistic links between TRAIL and diabetes, a number of animal and in vitro studies have reported direct effects of TRAIL on several tissues involved in diabetes pathophysiology such as pancreatic islets, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver, kidney, and immune and vascular cells. Residual controversy remains regarding the effects of TRAIL on adipose tissue homeostasis. Although the existing evidence is encouraging and paves the way for investigating TRAIL-related interventions in diabetic patients with cardiometabolic abnormalities, caution is warranted in the extrapolation of animal and in vitro data to the clinical setting, and further research in humans is imperative in order to uncover all aspects of the TRAIL-diabetes relationship and delineate its therapeutic implications in metabolic disease.

Abstract
Osteoprotegerin (OPG), also known as osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor or tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11B, is well known as a modulator of bone remodeling. The contribution of OPG to cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been suggested, but its molecular mechanism is complex and remains unclear. In the present study, Alves-Lopes et al. (Clin. Sci. (Lond.) (2021) 135(20): https://doi.org/10.1042/CS20210643) reported the critical role of syndecan-1 (SDC-1, also known as CD138), a surface protein part of the endothelial glycocalyx, in OPG-induced vascular dysfunction. The authors found that in endothelial cells (ECs), through SDC-1, OPG increased eNOS Thr495 phosphorylation, thereby inhibiting eNOS activity. Furthermore, the OPG-SDC-1 interaction increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) production through NOX1/4 activation. Both the reduced eNOS activity and induced ROS production inhibited NO production and impaired EC function. In vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the OPG-SDC-1 interaction increased ROS production through NOX1/4 activation, subsequently increased MLC phosphorylation-mediated Rho kinase-MYPT1 regulation, leading to increased vascular contraction. Ultilizing wire myography and mechanistic studies, the authors nicely provide the evidence that SDC-1 plays a crucial role in OPG-induced vascular dysfunction. As we mentioned above, the molecular mechanism and roles of OPG in cardiovascular system are complex and somewhat confusing. In this commentary, we briefly summarize the OPG-mediated signaling pathways in cardiovascular system.

Abstract
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a protein that induces apoptosis in cancer cells but not in normal ones, where its effects remain to be fully understood. Previous studies have shown that in high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice, TRAIL treatment reduced body weight gain, insulin resistance, and inflammation. TRAIL was also able to increase skeletal muscle free fatty acid oxidation. The aim of the present work was to evaluate TRAIL actions on skeletal muscle. Our in vitro data on C2C12 cells showed that TRAIL treatment significantly increased myogenin and MyHC and other hallmarks of myogenic differentiation, which were reduced by Dr5 (TRAIL receptor) silencing. In addition, TRAIL treatment significantly increased AKT phosphorylation, which was reduced by Dr5 silencing, as well as glucose uptake (alone and in combination with insulin). Our in vivo data showed that TRAIL increased myofiber size in HFD-fed mice as well as in db/db mice. This was associated with increased myogenin and PCG1α expression. In conclusion, TRAIL/DR5 pathway promotes AKT phosphorylation, skeletal muscle differentiation, and glucose uptake. These data shed light onto a pathway that might hold therapeutic potential not only for the metabolic disturbances but also for the muscle mass loss that are associated with diabetes.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) has been the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and its pathogenesis is closely related with the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC). We previously reported a truncated GATA4 protein lacking C-terminus induced by p.S335X mutation in cardiomyocyte from ventricular septal defect (VSD) patients. However, it is still unclear whether GATA4 p.S335X mutation could influence the development of CAD. GATA4 wild-type (WT) and p.S335X mutant (MU) overexpression plasmids were constructed and transfected transiently into rat coronary artery smooth muscle cell (RCSMC) to observe the proliferative and migratory abilities by MTS and wound healing assay, respectively. PCR array was used to preliminarily detect the expression of phenotypic modulation-related genes, and QRT-PCR was then carried out to verify the screened differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The results showed that, when stimulated by fetal bovine serum (10%) for 24 h or tumor necrosis factor-α (10 or 30 ng/ml) for 10 or 24 h, deletion of GATA4 C-terminus by p.S335X mutation in GATA4 enhanced the proliferation of RCSMC, without alteration of the migration capability. Twelve DEGs, including Fas, Hbegf, Itga5, Aimp1, Cxcl1, Il15, Il2rg, Il7, Tnfsf10, Il1r1, Irak1, and Tlr3, were screened and identified as phenotypic modulation-related genes. Our data might be beneficial for further exploration regarding the mechanisms of GATA4 p.S335X mutation on the phenotypic modulation of coronary VSMC.

Abstract
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a glycoprotein involved in the regulation of bone remodelling. OPG regulates osteoclast activity by blocking the interaction between the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK) and its ligand (RANKL). More and more studies confirm the relationship between OPG and cardiovascular diseases. Numerous studies have confirmed that a high plasma concentration of OPG and a low concentration of tumour necrosis factor–related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) together with a high OPG/TRAIL ratio are predictors of poor prognosis in patients with myocardial infarction. A high plasma OPG concentration and a high ratio of OPG/TRAIL in the acute myocardial infarction are a prognostic indicator of adverse left ventricular remodelling and of the development of heart failure. Ever more data indicates the participation of OPG in the regulation of the function of vascular endothelial cells and the initiation of the atherosclerotic process in the arteries. Additionally, it has been shown that TRAIL has a protective effect on blood vessels and exerts an anti-atherosclerotic effect. The mechanisms of action of both OPG and TRAIL within the cells of the vascular wall are complex and remain largely unclear. However, these mechanisms of action as well as their interaction in the local vascular environment are of great interest to researchers. This article presents the current state of knowledge on the mechanisms of action of OPG and TRAIL in the circulatory system and their role in cardiovascular diseases. Understanding these mechanisms may allow their use as a therapeutic target in cardiovascular diseases in the future.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a pro-apoptotic protein showing broad biological functions. Data from animal studies indicate that TRAIL may possibly contribute to the pathophysiology of cardiomyopathy, atherosclerosis, ischemic stroke and abdominal aortic aneurysm. It has been also suggested that TRAIL might be useful in cardiovascular risk stratification. This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether TRAIL is a risk factor or risk marker in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) focusing on major adverse cardiovascular events. Two databases (PubMed and Cochrane Library) were searched until December 2020 without a year limit in accordance to the PRISMA guidelines. A total of 63 eligible original studies were identified and included in our systematic review. Studies suggest an important role of TRAIL in disorders such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke, peripheral artery disease, and pulmonary and gestational hypertension. Most evidence associates reduced TRAIL levels and increased TRAIL-R2 concentration with all-cause mortality in patients with CVDs. It is, however, unclear whether low TRAIL levels should be considered as a risk factor rather than a risk marker of CVDs. Further studies are needed to better define the association of TRAIL with cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the TNF superfamily that can lead to the induction of apoptosis in tumor or infected cells. However, activation of TRAIL signaling may also trigger nonapoptotic pathways in cancer and in nontransformed cells, that is, immune cells. Here, we review the current knowledge on noncanonical TRAIL signaling. The biological outcomes of TRAIL signaling in immune and malignant cells are presented and explained, with a focus on the role of TRAIL for natural killer (NK) cell function. Furthermore, we highlight the technical difficulties in dissecting the precise molecular mechanisms involved in the switch between apoptotic and nonapoptotic TRAIL signaling. Finally, we discuss the consequences thereof for a therapeutic manipulation of TRAIL in cancer and possible approaches to bypass these difficulties.

Abstract
The TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) triggers apoptosis in cells by signaling through the O-glycosylated death receptors (DR4 and DR5), but the sensitivity to TRAIL-induced apoptosis of cells varies, and the attributes of this phenomenon are complex. Human carcinoma cells often express truncated O-glycans, Tn (GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr), and Sialyl-Tn (Siaα2-6GalNAcα1-Ser/Thr, STn) on their surface glycoproteins, yet molecular mechanisms in terms of advantages for tumor cells to have these truncated O-glycans remain elusive. Normal extended O-glycan biosynthesis is regulated by a specific molecular chaperone Cosmc through assisting of the correct folding of Core 1 β3 Galactosyltransferase (T-synthase). Here, we use tumor cell lines harboring mutations in Cosmc, and therefore expressing Tn and STn antigens to study the role of O-glycans in TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Expression of Tn and STn in tumor cells attenuates their sensitivity to TRAIL treatment; when transfected with wild-type Cosmc, these tumor cells thus express normal extended O-glycans and become more sensitive to TRAIL treatment. Mechanistically, Tn/STn antigens impair homo-oligomerization and stability of DR4 and DR5. These results represent the first mechanistic insight into how O-glycan structures on cell surface modulate their sensitivity to apoptotic stimuli, suggesting expression of Tn/STn may offer tumor cell survival advantages through altering DR4 and/or DR5 activity.

Abstract
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is known to induce apoptosis in cancer cells, although non-apoptotic functions have also been reported for this cytokine in various cell types. TRAIL and its receptor TRAIL-R2 are expressed in skeletal muscles, but a potential role of muscle-derived TRAIL in myogenesis has not been explored. Here we report that TRAIL is an autocrine regulator of myogenic differentiation. Knockdown of TRAIL or TRAIL-R2 enhanced C2C12 myoblast differentiation, and recombinant TRAIL inhibited expression of the cell cycle inhibitor p21, accompanied by suppression of myoblasts from exiting the cell cycle, a requisite step in the myogenic differentiation process. Blocking cell cycle progression restored differentiation from inhibition by recombinant TRAIL, supporting the notion that TRAIL exerts its effect in myogenesis through modulating cell cycle exit. We also found that TRAIL knockdown led to enhanced muscle regeneration in mice upon injury, recapitulating the in vitro observation. Additionally, inhibition of ERK activation reversed the negative effect of recombinant TRAIL on p21 expression and myoblast differentiation, suggesting that ERK signaling may be a mediator of TRAIL's function to suppress cell cycle withdrawal and inhibit differentiation. Taken together, our findings uncover a muscle cell-autonomous non-apoptotic function of TRAIL in skeletal myogenesis.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an essential part of the vasculature, not only providing structural support to the blood vessel wall, but also in its ability to interact with cells to regulate cell phenotype and function including proliferation, migration, differentiation and death – processes important in vascular remodelling. Increasing evidence implicates TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) signalling in the modulation of vascular cell function and remodelling under normal and pathological conditions such as in atherosclerosis. TRAIL can also stimulate synthesis of multiple ECM components within blood vessels. This review explores the relationship between TRAIL signals, the ECM, and its implications in vessel remodelling in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Circulating plasma TRAIL levels are suppressed in patients with cardiovascular and diabetic diseases. To identify novel targets in vascular metabolic diseases, genome-wide transcriptome of aortic tissue from Trail-/- versus Trail+/+ mice were interrogated. We found 861 genes differentially expressed with TRAIL deletion. Gene enrichment analyses showed many of these genes were related to inflammation, cell-to-cell cytoskeletal interactions, and transcriptional modulation. We identified vascular protective and pathological gene clusters, with Ifi205 as the most significantly reduced vascular protective gene, whereas Glut1, the most significantly increased pathological gene with TRAIL deletion. We hypothesized that therapeutic targets could be devised from such integrated analysis and validated our findings from vascular tissues of diabetic mice. From the differentially expressed gene targets, enriched transcription factor (TF) and microRNA binding motifs were identified. The top two TFs were Elk1 and Sp1, with enrichment to eight gene targets common to both. miR-520d-3p and miR-377-3p were the top enriched microRNAs with TRAIL deletion; with four overlapping genes enriched for both microRNAs. Our findings offer an alternate in silico approach for therapeutic target identification and present a deeper understanding of gene signatures and pathways altered with TRAIL suppression in the vasculature.

Abstract
Circulating tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) levels are reduced in patients with cardiovascular disease, and TRAIL gene deletion in mice exacerbates atherosclerosis and inflammation. How TRAIL protects against atherosclerosis and why levels are reduced in disease is unknown. Here, multiple strategies were used to identify the protective source of TRAIL and its mechanism(s) of action. Samples from patients with coronary artery disease and bone-marrow transplantation experiments in mice lacking TRAIL revealed monocytes/macrophages as the main protective source. Accordingly, deletion of TRAIL caused a more inflammatory macrophage with reduced migration, displaying impaired reverse cholesterol efflux and efferocytosis. Furthermore, interleukin (IL)-18, commonly increased in plasma of patients with cardiovascular disease, negatively regulated TRAIL transcription and gene expression, revealing an IL-18-TRAIL axis. These findings demonstrate that TRAIL is protective of atherosclerosis by modulating monocyte/macrophage phenotype and function. Manipulating TRAIL levels in these cells highlights a different therapeutic avenue in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients experience a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CV); however, the factors involved in CV-related morbidity and mortality in these patients have not been fully defined. Tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a cytokine, which exhibits pleiotropic activities on endothelial, vascular smooth muscle and inflammatory cells, with relevant effects on atheromatous plaque formation. On this basis, the present study aims to investigate the role of TRAIL in atheromatosis progression in CKD patients. Methods Circulating TRAIL levels were measured in 378 CKD patients belonging to the Spanish National Observatory of Atherosclerosis in Nephrology (NEFRONA) study. All patients were free of previous CV events. Carotid and femoral B-mode ultrasound was performed to detect the presence of plaque at baseline and after 24 months of follow-up. Results The lowest levels of TRAIL at baseline were significantly (p<0.05) associated with the appearance, after 24 months of follow-up, of at least two new atheromatous plaques in all territories and of one new plaque in the carotid artery, even after adjusting for CV risk factors. In addition, the patients with low levels of TRAIL at baseline were characterized by the presence of at least one hypoechoic plaque in the carotid artery. This association was significant (p<0.05) even after adjusting for CKD stage. Conclusions Overall, the results of our study suggest TRAIL as an assertable independent prognostic biomarker for atheromatosis plaque formation in CKD patients. This observation further supports the potential role of TRAIL for the prevention/treatment of CV disease.

Abstract
The tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a widely expressed cytokine that can bind five different receptors. TRAIL has been of particular interest for its proposed ability to selectively induce apoptosis in tumour cells. However, it has also been found to regulate a wide variety of non-canonical cellular effects including survival, migration and proliferation via kinase signalling pathways. Lung diseases represent a wide range of conditions affecting multiple tissues. TRAIL has been implicated in several biological processes underlying lung diseases, including angiogenesis, inflammation, and immune regulation. For example, TRAIL is detrimental in pulmonary arterial hypertension—it is upregulated in patient serum and lungs, and drives the underlying proliferative pulmonary vascular remodelling in rodent models. However, TRAIL protects against pulmonary fibrosis in mice models—by inducing apoptosis of neutrophils—and reduced serum TRAIL is found in patients. Conversely, in the airways TRAIL positively regulates inflammation and immune response. In COPD patients and asthmatic patients challenged with antigen, TRAIL and its death receptors are upregulated in serum and airways. Furthermore, TRAIL-deleted mouse models have reduced airway inflammation and remodelling. In the context of respiratory infections, TRAIL assists in immune response, e.g., via T-cell toxicity in influenza infection, and neutrophil killing in S. pneumoniae infection. In this mini-review, we examine the functions of TRAIL and highlight the diverse roles TRAIL has in diseases affecting the lung. Disentangling the facets of TRAIL signalling in lung diseases could help in understanding their pathogenic processes and targeting novel treatments.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), which is TNF receptor superfamily member, contributes to several diseases pathogenesis. The aim of this research was to investigate the relevance of serum TRAIL protein levels and mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with stroke through 6 months follow-up. We enrolled patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke (n = 95) and healthy controls (n = 95) in this study. Follow-up blood samples were collected from patients at day 7, 28, and 180 after the onset. The stroke severity was evaluated by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score. TRAIL protein levels were quantified by using ELISA kits and TRAIL mRNA expression by quantitative real-time PCR. Our study showed that stroke patients have statistically significant lower levels of serum TRAIL protein (p < 0.0001) and elevated TRAIL mRNA expression (p < 0.0001) in PBMC at the disease onset. Our follow-up study revealed that TRAIL protein levels were increased while mRNA expression levels were downregulated in later periods. Overall, our findings suggest that serum TRAIL levels and mRNA expression in PBMC could reliably serve as a predictor of stroke outcome. Additionally, our study supports that TRAIL plays a role in pathogenesis and progression of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Developing therapeutics that induce apoptosis in cancer cells has become an increasingly attractive approach for the past 30 years. The discovery of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily members and more specifically TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), the only cytokine of the family capable of eradicating selectively cancer cells, led to the development of numerous TRAIL derivatives targeting death receptor 4 (DR4) and death receptor 5 (DR5) for cancer therapy. With a few exceptions, preliminary attempts to use recombinant TRAIL, agonistic antibodies, or derivatives to target TRAIL agonist receptors in the clinic have been fairly disappointing. Nonetheless, a tremendous effort, worldwide, is being put into the development of novel strategic options to target TRAIL receptors. Antibodies and derivatives allow for the design of novel and efficient agonists. We summarize and discuss here the advantages and drawbacks of the soar of TRAIL therapeutics, from the first developments to the next generation of agonistic products, with a particular insight on new concepts.

Abstract
Deletion of the gene of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice increased atherosclerosis. However, the effect of TRAIL at a supra-physiological level on early atherogenesis is unknown. ApoE-/- mice were divided into Early (high-fat diet with concomitant TRAIL treatment for 4 weeks) and Late (high-fat diet for 16 weeks with TRAIL being given during the last 4 weeks) groups. It was found that TRAIL stimulated atherogenesis in the Early group but not in the Late group. TRAIL did not change the intra-plaque macrophage content in Early group, but decreased it in the Late group. In cultured macrophages, induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress increased death receptor 5 (DR5) expression and TRAIL-induced apoptosis, which were mediated by the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP). The expression levels of CHOP, 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) and DR5 were all elevated in the Late group. TRAIL treatment in vivo also increased intra-plaque apoptotic only in Late lesions. Moreover, the chemical chaperone 4-phenylbutyrate blocked the development of ER stress and upregulation of DR5 in Late lesions in vivo. In conclusion, TRAIL at a supra-physiological level has a stimulatory effect on early atherogenesis, but not in the advanced lesions. The differential effects of TRAIL may be related to differences in ER stress, DR5 expression, and the sensitivity of macrophage apoptosis in response to TRAIL in early versus advanced lesions. The results presented here raise the possibility that treatment with exogenous TRAIL as a therapeutic agent may be detrimental in patients with increased risk of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Since their identification more than 20 years ago, the death receptors CD95, TRAILR1, and TRAILR2 have been intensively studied with respect to their cell death-inducing activities. These receptors, however, can also trigger a variety of cell death-independent cellular responses reaching from the activation of proinflammatory gene transcription programs over the stimulation of proliferation and differentiation to induction of cell migration. The cell death-inducing signaling mechanisms of CD95 and the TRAIL death receptors are well understood. In contrast, despite the increasing recognition of the biological and pathophysiological relevance of the cell death-independent activities of CD95, TRAILR1, and TRAILR2, the corresponding signaling mechanisms are less understood and give no fully coherent picture. This review is focused on the cell death-independent activities of CD95 and the TRAIL death receptors and addresses mainly three questions: (a) how are these receptors linked to noncell death pathways at the molecular level, (b) which factors determine the balance of cell death and cell death-independent activities of CD95 and the TRAIL death receptors at the cellular level, and (c) what are the consequences of the cell death-independent functions of these receptors for their role in cancer and inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and other ligands of the TNF superfamily are potent regulators of adipose tissue metabolism and play a crucial role in the obesity-induced inflammation of adipose tissue. Adipose tissue expression levels of TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) and its receptor were shown to be upregulated by overfeeding and decreased by fasting in mice. In the present study we aimed to elucidate the impact of TRAIL on adipogenesis. To this end, human Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome (SGBS) preadipocytes as well as stromal-vascular cells isolated from human white adipose tissue were used as model systems. Human recombinant TRAIL inhibited adipogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner. It activated the cleavage of caspase-8 and -3, which in turn resulted in a downregulation of the key adipogenic transcription factors C/EBPα, C/EBPδ, and PPARγ. The effect was completely blocked by pharmacological or genetic inhibition of caspases. Taken together we discovered a so far unrecognized function of TRAIL in the regulation of adipogenesis. Targeting the TRAIL/TRAIL receptor system might provide a novel strategy to interfere with adipose tissue homeostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cardiovascular diseases account for the largest fraction of smoking-induced deaths. Studies of smoking in relation to cardiovascular-related protein markers can provide novel insights into the biological effects of smoking. We investigated the associations between cigarette smoking and 80 protein markers known to be related to cardiovascular diseases in two community-based cohorts, the Prospective Study of the Vasculature in Uppsala Seniors (PIVUS, n = 969, 50% women, all aged 70 years) and the Uppsala Longitudinal Study of Adult Men (ULSAM, n = 717, all men aged 77 years). METHODS Smoking status was self-reported and defined as current smoker, former smoker or never-smoker. Levels of the 80 proteins were measured using the proximity extension assay, a novel PCR-based proteomics technique. RESULTS We found 30 proteins to be significantly associated with current cigarette smoking in PIVUS (FDR<5%); and ten were replicated in ULSAM (p < 0.05). Matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12), growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), urokinase plasminogen activator surface receptor (uPAR), TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor 2 (TRAIL-R2), lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor 1 (LOX-1), hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), matrix metalloproteinase-10 (MMP-10) and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) were positively associated, while endothelial cell-specific molecule 1 (ESM-1) and interleukin-27 subunit alpha (IL27-A) showed inverse associations. All of them remained significant in a subset of individuals without manifest cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSIONS The findings of the present study suggest that cigarette smoking may interfere with several essential parts of the atherosclerosis process, as evidenced by associations with protein markers representing endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, neointimal formation, foam cell formation and plaque instability.

Abstract
The TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand TRAIL is a member of the TNF superfamily that has been firstly studied and evaluated for its anti-cancer activity, and the insights into its biology have already led to the identification of several TRAIL-based anticancer strategies with strong clinical therapeutic potentials. Nonetheless, the TRAIL system is far more complex and it can lead to a wider range of biological effects other than the ability of inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. By virtue of the different receptors and the different signalling pathways involved, TRAIL plays indeed a role in the regulation of different processes of the innate and adaptive immune system and this feature makes it an intriguing molecule under consideration in the development/progression/treatment of several immunological disorders. In this context, central nervous system represents a peculiar anatomic site where, despite its "status" of immune-privileged site, both innate and adaptive inflammatory responses occur and are involved in several pathological conditions. A number of studies have evaluated the role of TRAIL and of TRAIL-related pathways as pro-inflammatory or protective stimuli, depending on the specific pathological condition, confirming a twofold nature of this molecule. In this light, the aim of this review is to summarize the main preclinical evidences of the potential/involvement of TRAIL molecule and TRAIL pathways for the treatment of central nervous system disorders and the key suggestions coming from their assessment in preclinical models as proof of concept for future clinical studies.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain the major cause of death and premature disability in Western societies. Assessing the risk of CVD is an important aspect in clinical decision-making. Among the growing number of molecules that are studied for their potential utility as CVD biomarkers, a lot of attention has been focused on osteoprotegerin (OPG) and its ligands, which are receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand. Based on the existing literature and on our experience in this field, here we review what the possible roles of OPG and TRAIL in CVD are and their potential utility as CVD biomarkers.

Abstract
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with abnormal systemic inflammation, and apoptosis is one of the pathogenic mechanisms of COPD. Several studies have suggested that tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its receptors were not only involved in diseases associated with apoptosis but also in inflammatory diseases. However, limited data about the possible relationship between COPD and TRAIL/TRAIL-receptors are available. Objective To evaluate the potential relationship between TRAIL/TRAIL-receptors and COPD. Methods Serum levels of TRAIL, decoy receptor 5 (DR5), C-reactive protein, and tumor necrosis factor-α were analyzed using multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Then, serum levels of TRAIL and DR5 in 57 COPD patients with 35 healthy controls were compared and correlated with lung function and systemic inflammation. Results Mean levels of serum TRAIL and DR5 were significantly higher in COPD patients than those in controls (50.17±17.70 versus 42.09±15.49 pg/mL, P=0.029; 48.15±22.88 versus 38.94±10.95 pg/mL, P=0.032, respectively). Serum levels of TRAIL and DR5 correlated inversely with forced expiratory volume in 1 second % predicted, an index of lung function in COPD (r=-0.354, P=0.007 for TRAIL; r=−0.394, P=0.002 for DR5) in all participants (r=-0.291, P=0.005 for TRAIL; r=−0.315, P=0.002 for DR5), while DR5 correlated positively with C-reactive protein (r=0.240, P=0.021 for total subjects) and TRAIL correlated positively with tumor necrosis factor-α (r=0.371, P=0.005 for COPD; r=0.349, P=0.001 for total subjects). Conclusion Our results suggested that circulating TRAIL and DR5 increased in COPD patients and were associated with lung function and systemic inflammation in COPD. Future studies are needed to verify whether and how TRAIL and its receptors play roles in COPD.

Abstract
Shear stress is determined by three physical components described in a famous triad: blood flow, blood viscosity and vessel geometry. Through the direct action on endothelium, shear stress is able to radically interfere with endothelial properties and the physiology of the vascular wall. Endothelial cells (ECs) have also to sustain biochemical stresses represented by chemokines, growth factors, cytokines, complement, hormones, nitric oxide (NO), oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Many growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, hormones, and chemical substances, like NO, act and regulate endothelium functions and homeostasis. Among these cytokines Tumor Necrosis Factor Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) has been assigned a regulatory role in ECs physiology and physiopathology. Thus, the aim of this review is to provide a general overview of the endothelial response pathways after different types of biomechanical and biochemical stress in in vitro models and to analyze the crucial role of TRAIL under pathological conditions of the cardiocirculatory system like atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and diabetes.

Abstract
TRAIL/Apo-2L is a member of the TNF superfamily first described as an apoptosis-inducing cytokine in 1995. Similar to TNF and Fas ligand, TRAIL induces apoptosis in caspase-dependent manner following TRAIL death receptor trimerization. Because tumor cells were shown to be particularly sensitive to this cytokine while normal cells/tissues proved to be resistant along with being able to synthesize and release TRAIL, it was rapidly appreciated that TRAIL likely served as one of our major physiologic weapons against cancer. In line with this, a number of research laboratories and pharmaceutical companies have attempted to exploit the ability of TRAIL to kill cancer cells by developing recombinant forms of TRAIL or TRAIL receptor agonists (e.g., receptor-specific mAb) for therapeutic purposes. In this review article we will describe the biochemical pathways used by TRAIL to induce different cell death programs. We will also summarize the clinical trials related to this pathway and discuss possible novel uses of TRAIL-related therapies. In recent years, the physiological importance of TRAIL has expanded beyond being a tumoricidal molecule to one critical for a number of clinical settings - ranging from infectious disease and autoimmunity to cardiovascular anomalies. We will also highlight some of these conditions where modulation of the TRAIL/TRAIL receptor system may be targeted in the future.

Abstract
Tissue development and homeostasis are regulated by opposing pro-survival and pro-death signals. An interesting feature of the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) family of ligands is that they simultaneously activate opposing signals within a single cell via the same ligand-receptor complex. The magnitude of pro-death events such as caspase activation and pro-survival events such as Nuclear Factor (NF)-κB activation vary not only from one cell type to the next but also among individual cells of the same type due to intrinsic and extrinsic noise. The molecules involved in these pro-survival and/or pro-death pathways, and the different phenotypes that result from their activities, have been recently reviewed. Here we focus on the impact of cell-to-cell variability in the strength of these opposing signals on shaping cell fate decisions.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is associated with atherosclerosis. Subclinical hypothyroidism (sHT) is associated with the increased prevalence of atherosclerotic lesions and cardiovascular events. Therefore, we hypothesized that circulating TRAIL levels are associated with endothelial dysfunction in sHT patients. Two hundred and four patients with newly diagnosed sHT and 52 healthy subjects were recruited. Circulating TRAIL concentration was measured by an ELISA, and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of brachial artery was measured using high-resolution ultrasound. The mean value of circulating TRAIL in newly diagnosed sHT patients was 67.2 pg/ml, which was lower than that in controls (78.5 pg/ml, p < 0.001). By dividing the distribution of FMD levels into quartiles, TRAIL levels were increased gradually with the increase of FMD levels (p < 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that serum TRAIL levels were independently associated with FMD (p = 0.007). By logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio for lower FMD levels was reduced by 12.1 % per 1 pg/ml increase in serum TRAIL concentration after adjustment for multivariate metabolic factors [OR (95 % CI); 0.879 (0.721-0.973)]. Circulating TRAIL level decreased in newly diagnosed sHT patients and is positively associated with endothelial function, suggesting that circulating TRAIL level may be a protective marker of endothelial function in sHT patients.

Abstract
Upon obesity, adipose tissue is excessively expanded and characterized by pathologic processes like hypoxia, fibrosis, and inflammation. Death ligands belonging to the TNF superfamily such as TNF-α are important contributors to these derangements and exert a pronounced influence on the metabolic and cellular homeostasis of adipose tissue. Here, we sought to identify the effect of the death ligand TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) on the adipose tissue precursor cell pool and therefore investigated its influence on preadipocyte proliferation. Treatment of human preadipocytes with TRAIL resulted in a time- and dose-dependent increase in proliferation (EC50 3.4 ng/ml) comparable to IGF-1. Although no apoptosis was observed, TRAIL triggered a rapid cleavage of caspase-8 and -3. Neither inhibition of caspase activity by zVAD.fmk (20 µM) nor ablation of caspase-8 expression by lentivirus-delivered small hairpin RNA (shRNA) abolished the proliferative response. TRAIL triggered a delayed and sustained activation of ERK1/2, leaving Akt, p38, JNK, and NF-κB unaffected. Importantly, inhibition of ERK1/2 activation by PD0325901 (300 nM) or AZD6244 (5 or 10 µM) completely abolished the proliferative response. We thus reveal a hitherto unknown function of TRAIL in regulating adipose tissue homeostasis by promoting the proliferation of tissue-resident precursor cells.

Abstract
In addition to inducing tumor cell apoptosis, tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) shows broad biological functions both in vitro and in vivo. TRAIL gene deletion enhanced atherogenesis in hyperlipidemic mice, supporting that endogenous TRAIL has protective actions in maintaining blood vessel homeostasis and repressing atherosclerosis. The mechanisms of this beneficial effect are not understood. It remains to be determined whether the athero-protective action of TRAIL is via direct impacts on residential vascular cells or indirectly by modulating systemic immune functions. However, in vitro experiments indicate that excessive TRAIL may stimulate endothelial cell apoptosis, smooth muscle proliferation and migration, and inflammatory responses. Moreover, TRAIL can stimulate lipid uptake and foam cell formation in cultured macrophages. Here we provide a critical review on the potential relationships between TRAIL and atherosclerosis. We propose that increased TRAIL production may also have potential detrimental effects on vascular inflammation and atherosclerosis. Further in vivo experiments are warranted to elucidate the effects of exogenous TRAIL on atherogenesis.

Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a fatal condition driven by a progressive remodelling of the small pulmonary arteries through sustained vasoconstriction, and vascular cell proliferation. This process causes a substantial reduction in luminal area increasing pulmonary vascular resistance and blood pressure leading to right heart failure. Current medical therapies can alleviate some symptoms and reduce the vasoconstrictive aspects of disease but new treatments are required that target the vascular cell proliferation if we are to develop new therapies. Expression of the tumour necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) proteins are increased in IPAH. Specifically OPG is increased within the serum of patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and has prognostic utility, and both OPG and TRAIL are increased within pulmonary vascular lesions of patients with IPAH, and are mitogens for pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells in vitro. We have demonstrated that genetic deletion, or antibody blockade of TRAIL prevents, and critically reverses the development of PAH in multiple rodent models. The role OPG plays in this process both through interacting with TRAIL, and indirectly through other mechanisms is currently unclear these but data highlight the critical importance of this pathway in PAH pathogenesis, and its potential for future therapies.

Abstract
Selective killing of cancer cells is one of the major goals of cancer therapy. Although chemotherapeutic agents are being used for cancer treatment, they lack selectivity toward tumor cells. Among the six different death receptors (DRs) identified to date, DR4 and DR5 are selectively expressed on cancer cells. Therefore, unlike chemotherapeutic agents, these receptors can potentially mediate selective killing of tumor cells. In this review we outline various nutraceuticals derived from 'Mother Nature' that can upregulate DRs and thus potentiate apoptosis. These nutraceuticals increase tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-induced apoptosis of cancer cells through different mechanisms. First, nutraceuticals have been found to induce DRs through the upregulation of various signaling molecules. Second, nutraceuticals can downregulate tumor cell-survival pathways. Third, nutraceuticals alone have been found to activate cell-death pathways. Although both TRAIL and agonistic antibodies against DR4 and DR5 are in clinical trials, combination with nutraceuticals is likely to boost their anticancer potential.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a cytokine belonging to the TNF superfamily. TRAIL may modulate cell survival and proliferation through interaction with two different receptors, TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2. The actions of TRAIL are regulated by three decoy receptors, TRAIL-R3, TRAIL-R4 and osteoprotegerin (OPG). There is evidence that both TRAIL and OPG are expressed by renal cells. The OPG/TRAIL axis has been recently linked to the pathogenesis of renal damage and, in particular, diabetic nephropathy. RECENT FINDINGS In patients with kidney diseases, serum TRAIL and OPG levels are increased in parallel and are significantly associated with each other. In diabetic nephropathy, the renal expression of TRAIL and OPG is elevated, and in tubular cells proinflammatory cytokines enhance TRAIL expression. Additionally, a high-glucose microenvironment sensitizes tubular cells to apoptosis induced by TRAIL, whereas OPG counteracts the actions of TRAIL in cultured cells. SUMMARY It seems that the expression and levels of TRAIL and OPG at serum and kidney levels are crucial for the pathogenesis of kidney diseases, and in particular diabetic nephropathy. Although further studies are necessary to clarify the exact role of the OPG/TRAIL axis in the kidney, this system seems to hold promise to provide therapeutic approaches for the management of renal damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is associated with atherosclerosis. This study was to investigate the changes of circulating TRAIL and its association with flow-mediated endothelium-dependent arterial dilation (FMD) before and after diabetic treatment in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study subjects included 55 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and 52 healthy subjects. Circulating TRAIL concentration was measured by an ELISA, and high-resolution ultrasound was used to measure FMD of brachial artery. RESULTS The circulating TRAIL in patients before treatment was 64·46 pg/ml, which was significantly lower than that in control (80·70 pg/ml, P < 0·001). After 6 months of diabetic treatment, TRAIL level increased markedly (75·11 pg/ml), which was still lower than that in control (P < 0·001). FMD was reduced compared with controls at baseline and increased after diabetic therapy (P < 0·001). In multivariate analysis, circulating TRAIL was significantly associated with FMD, fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-h blood glucose (2-h BG), haemoglobinA1c (HbA1c) and C-reactive protein (CRP) at baseline (P < 0·01). The absolute change in TRAIL was correlated with the changes in FMD, FBG, 2-h BG, HbA1c and CRP (P < 0·01) before and after diabetic treatment. CONCLUSION Circulating TRAIL level decreased in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and increased after 6 months of diabetic treatment significantly. The circulating TRAIL level is positively associated with endothelial function. Our data showed that circulating TRAIL level may be a protective maker of endothelial function in type 2 diabetes.

Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/Apo2L) has been shown to have protective effects against atherosclerosis. However, whether TRAIL has any effects on expression of macrophage scavenger receptors and lipid uptake has not yet been studied. Macrophage lines RAW264.7 and THP-1, and mouse primary peritoneal macrophages, were cultured in vitro and treated with recombinant human TRAIL. Real-time PCR and western blot were performed to measure mRNA and protein expressions. Foam cell formation was assessed by internalization of acetylated and oxidized low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Apoptosis was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling. We found that TRAIL treatment increased expression of scavenger receptor (SR)-AI and SR-BI in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and this effect was accompanied by increased foam cell formation. These effects of TRAIL were abolished by a TRAIL neutralizing antibody or in DR5 receptor-deficient macrophages. The increased LDL uptake by TRAIL was blocked by SR-AI gene silencing or the SR-AI inhibitor poly(I:C), while SR-BI blockade with BLT-1 had no effect. TRAIL-induced SR-AI expression was blocked by the inhibitor of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, but not by inhibitors of ERK1/2 or JNK. TRAIL also induced apoptosis in macrophages. In contrast to macrophages, TRAIL showed little effects on SR expression or apoptosis in vascular smooth muscle cells. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that TRAIL promotes macrophage lipid uptake via SR-AI upregulation through activation of the p38 pathway.

Abstract
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). Many investigators have reported that cell death via apoptosis significantly contributed to the pathophysiology of renal IRI. Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, and induces apoptosis and inflammation. However, the role of TRAIL in renal IRI is unclear. Here, we investigated whether TRAIL contributes to renal IRI and whether TRAIL blockade could attenuate renal IRI. AKI was induced by unilateral clamping of the renal pedicle for 60 min in male FVB/N mice. We found that the expression of TRAIL and its receptors were highly upregulated in renal tubular cells in renal IRI. Neutralizing anti-TRAIL antibody or its control IgG was given 24 hr before ischemia and a half-dose booster injection was administered into the peritoneal cavity immediately after reperfusion. We found that TRAIL blockade inhibited tubular apoptosis and reduced the accumulation of neutrophils and macrophages. Furthermore, TRAIL blockade attenuated renal fibrosis and atrophy after IRI. In conclusion, our study suggests that TRAIL is a critical pathogenic factor in renal IRI, and that TRAIL could be a new therapeutic target for the prevention of renal IRI.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-based therapy is currently evaluated in clinical studies as a tumor cell selective pro-apoptotic approach. However, besides activating canonical caspase-dependent apoptosis by binding to TRAIL-specific death receptors, the TRAIL ligand can activate non-canonical cell survival or proliferation pathways in resistant tumor cells through the same death receptors, which is counterproductive for therapy. Even more, recent studies indicate metastases-promoting activity of TRAIL. In this review, the remarkable dichotomy in TRAIL signaling is highlighted. An overview of the currently known mechanisms involved in non-canonical TRAIL signaling and the subsequent activation of various kinases is provided. These kinases include RIP1, IκB/ NF-κB, MAPK p38, JNK, ERK1/2, MAP3K TAK1, PKC, PI3K/Akt and Src. The functional consequences of their activation, often being stimulation of tumor cell survival and in some cases enhancement of their invasive behavior, are discussed. Interestingly, the non-canonical responses triggered by TRAIL in resistant tumor cells resemble that of TRAIL-induced signals in non-transformed cells. Better knowledge of the mechanism underlying the dichotomy in TRAIL receptor signaling may provide markers for selecting patients who will likely benefit from TRAIL-based therapy and could provide a rationalized basis for combination therapies with TRAIL death receptor-targeting drugs.
