The Mouse Cell Surface Protein TOSO Regulates Fas/Fas Ligand-induced Apoptosis through Its Binding to Fas-associated Death Domain [PDF]
Mouse TOSO, the homologue of human TOSO gene, was cloned and characterized in the present study. Using immunofluorescence confocal microscopy we localized TOSO to the cytoplasmic membrane of expressing cells. Using stably transfected mouse TOSO (mTOSO)-expressing Jurkat cells, we show that TOSO protects cells from Fas/Fas ligand- and tumor necrosis ...

Role of P38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Phosphorylation and Fas-Fas Ligand Interaction in Morphine-Induced Macrophage Apoptosis [PDF]
Abstract In this study, we evaluated the molecular mechanisms involved in morphine-induced macrophage apoptosis. Both morphine and TGF-β promoted P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation, and this phosphorylation was inhibited by SB 202190 as well as by SB 203580.

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.

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.

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.

Fas induces apoptosis in human coronary artery endothelial cells in vitro
Background Published work suggests that some types of endothelial cells undergo apoptosis in response to ligation of the receptor Fas (CD95, APO1) but other types are resistant.

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 ...

Display of Fas Ligand Protein on Cardiac Vasculature as a Novel Means of Regulating Allograft Rejection [PDF]
Background— Fas ligand (FasL) is a potent death-inducing molecule with important functions in immune homeostasis and tolerance to self-antigens. The complex biological activities of FasL and its inefficient expression using conventional gene transfer approaches limit its use for immunomodulation to ...
