Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is quickly released and initiates inflammation at wound tissues, but its precise role in wound healing is not fully understood. We examined the contribution of this cytokine to the early process of healing using a mouse model with fullthickness wounds in skin. TNF-alpha synthesis was detected just after wound creation, increased during the first several hours, reached a peak level on day 1, and then decreased to the basal level. In mice treated with anti-TNF-alpha mAb, wound closure was significantly delayed, and distances between the panniculus carnosus edges were significantly longer on day 3, compared with control. Inflammatory cell and fibroblast density were markedly decreased on day 3 in the anti-TNF-alpha mAb-treated mice compared with control. In contrast, wound healing was accelerated on day 3 when mice were treated with bioactive TNF-alpha. These results indicate that TNF-alpha is involved in the early process of wound healing.
