To assess the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in the appearance of soluble TNF receptors (sTNFRs), 20 consecutive patients with a clinical diagnosis of sepsis were studied as were 7 chimpanzees after administration of endotoxin (4 ng/kg) with or without pentoxifylline. The patients had markedly elevated serum levels of sTNFR-p55 and sTNFR-p75 compared with healthy controls (P < .0001 for both receptors). The levels of both soluble receptors correlated with simultaneously measured immunoreactive TNF concentrations (p55: r = .63, P < .01; p75: r = .69, P < .001). In the chimpanzees, endotoxin induced subsequent rises in the serum concentrations of TNF and sTNFRs. Although pentoxifylline reduced the TNF response to intravenous endotoxin to 20% (P < .05), the appearance of sTNFRs was only moderately inhibited (sTNFR-p55 to 79% on average, P < .05; sTNFR-p75 to 77%, P = .12). These results indicate that TNF either does not play an important role in the appearance of sTNFRs in systemic infection or that a small amount of TNF remaining in the circulation after some bacterial challenges is sufficient to preserve the secretion of its soluble receptors.
