TAPI-1

TAPI blocks the spontaneous and PMA-induced release of TNF-alpha from transfected cells. TAPI-1, an inhibitor of ADAMs, reduced constitutive and muscarinic receptor-stimulated sAPP alpha release in HEK-293 cells stably expressing M3 muscarinic receptors. TAPI-1 with the EGFR inhibitor AG1478 exhibits deactivated AREG/EGFR/ERK signaling pathway and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines release in pSS salivary gland-derived epithelial cells.
