Fas and Fas ligand are highly expressed in lymphocytes from cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer patients: A possible role for immune escaping [PDF]
Objective(s): Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus is required to develop cervical cancer. Some viruses modulate the Fas/FasL signaling to evade the immune response; the role of these molecules in cervical cancer is not clear.

JAK-Mediated Signaling Inhibits Fas Ligand-Induced Apoptosis Independent of De Novo Protein Synthesis [PDF]
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.

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.

Fas and Fas ligand messenger ribonucleic acid and protein expression in the rat corpus luteum during apoptosis-mediated luteolysis. [PDF]
Apoptosis has been found to occur during regression of the corpus luteum (CL) in many species. The Fas (APO-1/CD95) receptor, a transmembrane protein that induces apoptosis in the cell when bound to Fas ligand (FasL), may be involved. This study established and quantitated the presence and regulation of Fas receptor and FasL in the rat CL during ...

HIV Tat Binds Egr Proteins and Enhances Egr-dependent Transactivation of the Fas Ligand Promoter [PDF]
HIV Tat can enhance activation-induced up-regulation of Fas ligand (FasL), which may contribute to T cell apoptosis in human immune deficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. We have assessed functional and physical interactions between Tat and the Egr family of transcription factors (Egr-1, -2, and -3), the latter two of which are major participants

Ethanol-mediated alterations in oligodendrocyte differentiation in the developing brain
Introduction: Alterations of white matter integrity and subsequent white matter structural deficits are consistent findings in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), but knowledge regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying these abnormalities is incomplete ...

Soluble Fas and Soluble Fas Ligand Proteins in Human Milk: Possible Significance in the Development of Immunological Tolerance [PDF]
Human milk contains a complex uncharacterized, immune system able to exert actions both locally and systemically. This study reports the results of an ELISA‐based quantitation of soluble Fas and soluble Fas ligand in human milk which may modulate the Fas/FasL system that is critical for the expression of immune tolerance and apoptosis.
