Hepatic ATGL mediates PPAR-α signaling and fatty acid channeling through an L-FABP independent mechanism

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2014
Adipose TG lipase (ATGL) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in TG hydrolysis in most tissues. We have shown that hepatic ATGL preferentially channels hydrolyzed FAs to β-oxidation and induces PPAR-α signaling.

Serum Fas/FasL levels in dependence on clinical presentations of coronary disease and their relationship with risk factors [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2010
Background/Aim. Ischemic heart disease is mostly a consequence of atherosclerosis. Besides the inflammation, the Fas/Fas ligand (FasL)/caspase death pathway is documented to be activated in atherosclerotic lesions.

Expression of Fas/Fas-Ligand, Bcl-2 Protein and Apoptosis in Extravillous Trophoblast along Invasion to the Decidua in Human Term Placenta

open access: yesEndocrine Journal, 2003
There are two local subtypes of extravillous trophoblast (EVT): one is the proliferative phenotype of EVT, which primarily consists of proximal cells and the other is the invasive phenotype of EVT, which is composed mainly of distal cells of cell columns. The mechanism of invasion of EVT to the decidua remains obscure.

Fas-associated Death Domain Protein (FADD) and Caspase-8 Mediate Up-regulation of c-Fos by Fas Ligand and Tumor Necrosis Factor-related Apoptosis-inducing Ligand (TRAIL) via a FLICE Inhibitory Protein (FLIP)-regulated Pathway [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Fas, a death domain-containing member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family and its ligand FasL have been predominantly studied with respect to their capability to induce cell death. However, a few studies indicate a proliferation-inducing signaling activity of these molecules too. We describe here a novel signaling pathway of FasL and the tumor

Reprogramming Antitumor Immunity: NK Cell Strategies to Navigate the Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tumor immune escape is a major barrier to durable cancer immunotherapy, as advanced malignancies create a tumor microenvironment (TME) that preferentially exhausts and disables T cell responses. While most approved cell therapies are T cell‐based, this limitation motivates the exploration of an alternative effector cell platform.

Peripheral blood biomarkers in multiple sclerosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system. The heteroge-neity of pathophysiological processes in MS contributes to the highly variable course of the disease and unpre-dictable response to therapies ...

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

The extracellular matrix, p53 and estrogen compete to regulate cell-surface Fas/Apo-1 suicide receptor expression in proliferating embryonic cerebral cortical precursors, and reciprocally, Fas-ligand modifies estrogen control of cell-cycle proteins

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2004
Background Apoptosis is important for normal cerebral cortical development. We previously showed that the Fas suicide receptor was expressed within the developing cerebral cortex, and that in vitro Fas activation resulted in caspase-dependent death ...

IL-18-Binding Protein Protects Against Lipopolysaccharide- Induced Lethality and Prevents the Development of Fas/Fas Ligand-Mediated Models of Liver Disease in Mice [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Immunology, 2001
AbstractIL-18-binding protein (IL-18BP) is a natural IL-18 inhibitor. Human IL-18BP isoform a was produced as fusion construct with human IgG1 Fc and assessed for binding and neutralizing IL-18. IL-18BP-Fc binds human, mouse, and rat IL-18 with high affinity (KD 0.3–5 nM) in a BIAcore-based assay.

Interleukin‐5, Eosinophils, and Interleukin‐5 Pathway Inhibitors in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Interlukin‐5 (IL‐5) plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) by promoting eosinophil differentiation, activation, and survival. We present here a typical case of EGPA in which treatment with IL‐5 pathway inhibitors is prescribed, showing to be beneficial for the patient.
