Molecular manipulation of keratin 8/18 intermediate filaments: modulators of FAS-mediated death signaling in human ovarian granulosa tumor cells [PDF]
Background: Granulosa cell tumors (GCT) are a rare ovarian neoplasm but prognosis is poor following recurrence. Keratin intermediate filaments expressed in these tumors are a diagnostic marker, yet paradoxically, may also constitute a target for ...

Serum soluble Fas ligand is a severity and mortality prognostic marker for COVID-19 patients
Finding cytokine storm initiator factors associated with uncontrolled inflammatory immune response is necessary in COVID-19 patients. The aim was the identification of Fas/Fas Ligand (FasL) role in lung involvement and mortality of COVID-19 patients.

In Vivo Localization of Fas-Associated Death Domain Protein in the Nucleus and Cytoplasm of Normal Thyroid and Liver Cells [PDF]
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,

Receptor interacting protein-2 plays a critical role in human lung epithelial cells survival in response to Fas-induced cell-death. [PDF]
Lung epithelial cell death is critical to the lung injury that occurs in the acute respiratory distress syndrome. It is known that FasL plays a prominent role in this lung cell death pathway and may work in part through activation of the receptor ...

Listeria monocytogenes virulence proteins induce surface expression of Fas ligand on T lymphocytes [PDF]
SummaryVirulence factors secreted by Listeria monocytogenes are known to interfere with host cellular signalling pathways. We investigated whether L. monocytogenes modulates T‐cell receptor signalling by examining surface expression of proteins known to be upregulated on activated T cells. In vitro culture of murine splenocytes with L.

Background: Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a disorder of lymphocyte homeostasis and immunological tolerance due primarily to genetic defects in Fas (CD95/APO-1; TNFRSF6), a cell surface receptor that regulates apoptosis and its ...

Identification of the Calmodulin-Binding Domains of Fas Death Receptor. [PDF]
The extrinsic apoptotic pathway is initiated by binding of a Fas ligand to the ectodomain of the surface death receptor Fas protein. Subsequently, the intracellular death domain of Fas (FasDD) and that of the Fas-associated protein (FADD) interact to ...

Interaction of the Adenovirus 14.7-kDa Protein with FLICE Inhibits Fas Ligand-induced Apoptosis [PDF]
Adenovirus type 5 encodes a 14.7-kDa protein that protects infected cells from tumor necrosis factor-induced cytolysis by an unknown mechanism. In this report, we demonstrate that infection of cells with an adenovirus vector expressing Fas ligand induced rapid apoptosis that was blocked by coinfection with a virus expressing 14. 7K.
