1 Further studies revealed that lycopene suppressed the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), CD14 and Toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4). Lycopene tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens

3 CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that lycopene has barrier integrity activity, and inhibitory activity on cell adhesion and migration to endothelial cells by blocking the activation of NF-kappaB, CD14 and TLR4 expression and production of TNF-alpha, thereby endorsing its usefulness as therapy for vascular inflammatory diseases. Lycopene tumor necrosis factor Homo sapiens
