Type-I interferon is critical for FasL expression on lung cells to determine the severity of influenza. [PDF]
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.

In vitro culture with gemcitabine augments death receptor and NKG2D ligand expression on tumour cells [PDF]
Much effort has been made to try to understand the relationship between chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer and the immune system. Whereas much of that focus has been on the direct effect of chemotherapy drugs on immune cells and the release of antigens

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.

A proteomic screen reveals novel Fas ligand interacting proteins within nervous system Schwann cells [PDF]
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,

FAS-dependent cell death in α-synuclein transgenic oligodendrocyte models of multiple system atrophy. [PDF]
Multiple system atrophy is a parkinsonian neurodegenerative disorder. It is cytopathologically characterized by accumulation of the protein p25α in cell bodies of oligodendrocytes followed by accumulation of aggregated α-synuclein in so-called glial ...

Fas/FasL expression in colorectal cancer. An immunohistochemical study.
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 ...
