Fas and Fas ligand: a death factor and its receptor.

Purification and characterization of the Fas-ligand that induces apoptosis

Results indicated that the 40-kD membrane glycoprotein expressed on PC60-d10S cells is the Fas-ligand that induces the apoptotic signal by binding to Fas.

CD27, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family, induces apoptosis and binds to Siva, a proapoptotic protein.

It is shown that CD27, a member of the TNFR family, expressed on discrete subpopulations of T and B cells and known to provide costimulatory signals for T andB cell proliferation and B cell Ig production, can also induce apoptosis and co-crosslinking of surface Ig receptors along with ligation of CD27 augments CD27-mediated apoptosis.

Cloning and expression of a short Fas ligand: A new alternatively spliced product of the mouse Fas ligand gene.

RNase protection and immunoprecipitation analysis showed that FasLs is expressed in nonactivated normal spleen cells and in hybridoma T cells and that it is upregulated upon activation by anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (MoAb).

Activated B cells express functional Fas ligand

Evidence that B lymphocytes can express FasL is provided and the data suggest that the Fas system may contribute to the control of B cell homeostasis.

Tumor Necrosis Factor-α and Interferon-γ Induce Expression of Functional Fas Ligand on HT29 and MCF7 Adenocarcinoma Cells

It is demonstrated that TNF-α and IFN-γ induce expression of functional FasL in adenocarcinoma cells which thereby can kill T lymphocytes by the FasL/Fas pathway.

Swapping between Fas and Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor Receptor*

The results indicated that receptors belonging to different receptor families can be functionally exchanged and confirm that a homodimer of G-CSFR can transduce the growth signal, whereas Fas must be oligomerized (probably trimerized) to transduces the apoptotic signal.

Apoptosis mediated by the Fas system.

Findings suggest that the Fas system plays a role not only in the physiological process of lymphocyte development, but also in the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-mediated disease such as fulminant hepatitis.

Cloning and characterization of the bovine Fas.

To investigate the apoptotic activity of bFAs, MDBK and bFas-transfected L929 cells were exposed to a monoclonal anti-hFas IgM, and like other cell culture systems, the antibody failed to trigger cell death in MDBk andbFas transfecting L 929 cells.

Different apoptotic pathways mediated by Fas and the tumor-necrosis-factor receptor. Cytosolic phospholipase A2 is not involved in Fas-mediated apoptosis.

It is indicated that cPLA2 is required for TNF-induced apoptosis, whereas it is dispensable for Fas-mediated apoptosis and suggested that the TNF receptor and Fas use different signaling pathways for apoptosis.
