BMC Immunology, 2023 Background Patients with Sjögren’s syndrome, like other patients with autoimmune disorders, display dysregulation in the function of their immune system. Fas and Fas Ligand (FasL) are among the dysregulated proteins. Methods We studied Fas and FasL on IL-

In Vivo Localization of Fas-Associated Death Domain Protein in the Nucleus and Cytoplasm of Normal Thyroid and Liver Cells [PDF]
, 2009 FADD (Fas-associated death domain) is the main death receptor adaptor molecule that transmits apoptotic signal. Recently, FADD protein was shown to be expressed both in the cytoplasm and nucleus of in vitro cell lines. In contrast to the cytoplasmic FADD,

Functional characterization of a chimeric soluble Fas ligand polymer with in vivo anti-tumor activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Binding of ligand FasL to its receptor Fas triggers apoptosis via the caspase cascade. FasL itself is homotrimeric, and a productive apoptotic signal requires that FasL be oligomerized beyond the homotrimeric state. We generated a series of FasL chimeras

The effect of experimental hyperoxia on erythrocytes’ oxygen-transport function [PDF]
, 2018 The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hyperoxia, calcium ions and pH value on the composition of major phospholipids in human erythrocyte membranes and erythrocytes’ oxygen-transport function. To create a model of hyperoxia, we saturated

Fas-ligand: Privilege and peril [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 Meanwhile, FasL was shown to play other roles in the body. As discussed in more detail below, activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (and other cells) often express high levels of FasL and the ability of FasL to kill cells bearing Fas accounts for some destructive effects mediated by these cells.

Natural killer cell response to chemotherapy-stressed cancer cells: Role in tumor immunosurveillance. [PDF]
, 2017 Natural killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphoid cells that actively prevent neoplastic development, growth, and metastatic dissemination in a process called cancer immunosurveillance.

FAS Ligand Triggers Pulmonary Silicosis [PDF]
The Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2001 We investigated the role of Fas ligand in murine silicosis. Wild-type mice instilled with silica developed severe pulmonary inflammation, with local production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interstitial neutrophil and macrophage infiltration in the lungs. Strikingly, Fas ligand–deficient generalized lymphoproliferative disease mutant (gld) mice

Species difference in the expression of Fas and Fas ligand in mature mammalian spermatozoa
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2017 Although it has been proposed that the Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) may protect ejaculated spermatozoa against apoptosis induced by lipoperoxidative damage and against lymphocytes present in the female genital tract, studies reported conflicting results on ...

lHuman cytotoxic T lymphocytes with reduced sensitivity to Fas-induced apoptosis [PDF]
, 2005 Effector-memory T cells expressing Fas (Apo-1/CD95) are switched to an apoptotic program by cross-linking with Fas-ligand (FasL). Consequently, tumors that express FasL can induce apoptosis of infiltrating Fas-positive T lymphocytes and subdue any ...

Metalloporphyrins inactivate caspase-3 and -8 [PDF]
, 2005 Activation of caspases represents one of the earliest biochemical indicators for apoptotic cell death. Therefore, measurement of caspase activity is a widely used and generally accepted method to determine apoptosis in a wide range of in vivo and in ...
