Type-I interferon is critical for FasL expression on lung cells to determine the severity of influenza. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Infection of influenza A virus in mammals induces hyper lung pneumonia, which often causes lethal diseases. FasL is a specific ligand of Fas, which is a type-I transmembrane protein to induce cell death.

JAK-Mediated Signaling Inhibits Fas Ligand-Induced Apoptosis Independent of De Novo Protein Synthesis [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2005 Abstract There is a growing appreciation for how cells integrate and appropriately respond to competing signals for proliferation and apoptosis. The studies described in this report examined the effects of exposure to the cytokine IFN-α (IFN-α-2a) on sensitivity of the human cell lines H9 and SKW6.4 to Fas ligand (FasL)-induced apoptosis.

A proteomic screen reveals novel Fas ligand interacting proteins within nervous system Schwann cells [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2007 Fas ligand (FasL) binds Fas (CD95) to induce apoptosis or activate other signaling pathways. In addition, FasL transduces bidirectional or ‘reverse signals’. The intracellular domain of FasL contains consensus sequences for phosphorylation and an extended proline rich region, which regulate its surface expression through undetermined mechanism(s). Here,

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 ...

Fas/FasL expression in colorectal cancer. An immunohistochemical study.
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2010 The objective of the current study was to assess the expression of Fas ligand (FasL) and Fas receptor (FasR) as the proteins of the post-mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in colorectal carcinoma and to investigate correlations between their expression and ...
