CD95/Fas ligand induced toxicity. [PDF]
The role of CD95/Fas ligand (CD95L/FasL) in the induction of CD95-mediated extrinsic apoptosis is well characterized. Trimerized, membrane-bound CD95L ligates the CD95 receptor activating downstream signaling resulting in the execution of cells by caspase proteins.

The concept of death genes goes back to the early days of programmed cell death, when a researcher's model system was required to be dependent on transcription of the dying cell in order to qualify as apoptosis. In 1987 Andrew Wyllie,1 one of the pioneers of cell death research, outlined four 'cardinal elements' of apoptosis: one of which was a ...

Impairment of Fas-ligand-caveolin-1 interaction inhibits Fas-ligand translocation to rafts and Fas-ligand-induced cell death. [PDF]
AbstractFas-ligand/CD178 belongs to the TNF family proteins and can induce apoptosis through death receptor Fas/CD95. The important requirement for Fas-ligand-dependent cell death induction is its localization to rafts, cholesterol- and sphingolipid-enriched micro-domains of membrane, involved in regulation of different signaling complexes.

Focal adhesions are foci for tyrosine-based signal transduction via GIV/Girdin and G proteins. [PDF]
GIV/Girdin is a multimodular signal transducer and a bona fide metastasis-related protein. As a guanidine exchange factor (GEF), GIV modulates signals initiated by growth factors (chemical signals) by activating the G protein Gαi.

Expression of Fas antigen and Fas ligand in bronchoalveolar lavage from silicosis patients
Objective: To understand the role of apoptosis through Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) interaction in the pathogenesis of silicosis, we examined the expression of Fas antigen, FasL and apoptosis in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid lymphocytes obtained from patients ...

Identification of SH3 domain interaction partners of human FasL (CD178) by phage display screening
Background - Fas ligand is a cytotoxic effector molecule of T and NK cells which is characterized by an intracellular N-terminal polyproline region that serves as a docking site for SH3 and WW domain proteins.

cMet and fas receptor interaction inhibits death-inducing signaling complex formation in endothelial cells [PDF]
Fas receptor is constitutively expressed on endothelial cells; however, these cells are highly resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis. In this study, we examined death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formation in endothelial cells after Fas receptor ...

Fetal-derived trophoblast use the apoptotic cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha-related apoptosis-inducing ligand to induce smooth muscle cell death. [PDF]
Remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries during pregnancy transforms them from high to low resistance vessels that lack vasoconstrictive properties. This process is essential to meet the demand for increased blood flow imposed by the growing fetus. Loss
