Expression of Fas ligand in retinoblastoma [PDF]
AbstractBACKGROUNDThe importance of the Fas‐Fas ligand (FasL) mechanism for the immune evasion by tumors provided a strong rationale for the examination of FasL expression in retinoblastoma. In an earlier publication, the authors reported that invasive retinoblastomas decreased Fas expression.

Functional characterization of a chimeric soluble Fas ligand polymer with in vivo anti-tumor activity. [PDF]
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 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 ...

Caspase 8 activation independent of Fas (CD95/APO-1) signaling may mediate killing of B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells by cytotoxic drugs or gamma radiation. [PDF]
Ligation of the cell-surface Fas molecule by its ligand (Fas-L) or agonistic anti-Fas monoclonal antibodies results in the cleavage and activation of the cysteine protease procaspase 8 followed by the activation of procaspase 3 and by apoptosis.

PANoptosis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes
PANoptosis, a combination of three types of programmed cell death, is mediated by a large protein complex called a PANoptosome. In healthy bone marrow hematopoietic cells, PANoptosis is restricted by inhibitory signaling. In MDS, bone marrow cells become sensitive to the PANoptotic stimuli due to the aberrant inactivation of inhibitory signaling or ...

Species difference in the expression of Fas and Fas ligand in mature mammalian spermatozoa
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 ...

High‐risk bladder cancer is typically treated with Bacillus Calmette‐Guérin (BCG), but 30–40% of patients relapse. No FDA‐ or CE‐approved biomarkers currently predict or prognosticate BCG failure. We systematically reviewed the literature and identified 72 eligible studies, revealing several promising biomarkers associated with BCG treatment response ...
