TL;DR
The ability of cachectin/TNF to stimulate collagenase and PGE2 production suggests that it may play a role in tissue destruction and remodelling, as these processes occur in inflammatory diseases.
Abstract
Cachectin/TNF (tumor necrosis factor), an endotoxin-induced murine macrophage hormone implicated in the pathogenesis of cachexia and shock, has been found capable of stimulating collagenase and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production by isolated human synovial cells and dermal fibroblasts. This bioactivity associated with cachectin is comparable to that observed with the monokine interleukin 1 (IL-1), previously suggested as the major mediator of proteolysis. The ability of cachectin/TNF to stimulate collagenase and PGE2 production suggests that it may play a role in tissue destruction and remodelling, as these processes occur in inflammatory diseases.

It is proposed that TNF mediates endotoxin-induced tumor necrosis, and that it may be responsible for the suppression of transformed cells by activated macrophages.

The data suggest that cachectin/TNF is one of the principal mediators of the lethal effect of endotoxin, and this effect was dose-dependent and was most effective when the antiserum was administered prior to the injection of the endotoxin.

Clones of complementary DNA from genes whose expression is increased during the differentiation of adipocytes were used to study the molecular basis of cachectin's actions and found that when mature adipocytes were exposed to cachectin, the messenger RNA's of those genes diminished and rapidly approached the levels present before differentiation.

It is suggested that the macrophage system mediates via secretion of monokines an integrated fuel substrate and hormonal adjustment to sepsis, which on the one hand may provide optimal metabolic homeostasis for systemic host defense, but on the other hand, if allowed to act unchecked, may contribute to the metabolic dyshomeostasis of septic shock.
