cMet and fas receptor interaction inhibits death-inducing signaling complex formation in endothelial cells [PDF]
Fas receptor is constitutively expressed on endothelial cells; however, these cells are highly resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis. In this study, we examined death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) formation in endothelial cells after Fas receptor ...

Alteration of Regulation of Fas/FasL Mediated Apoptosis in Gastric Cancer [PDF]
Gastric cancer is an important neoplasticdisease in all around the world because its highincidence and mortality. Otherwise, apoptosis isa key process of programmed cell death duringembryogenesis, regulation of immune system,and holding the tissue ...

Background Fas ligand plays a key role in the human immune system as a major cell death inducing protein. The extracellular domain of human Fas ligand (hFasLECD) triggers apoptosis of malignant cells, and therefore is expected to have substantial ...

Fas activates lipolysis in a Ca2+-CaMKII-dependent manner in 3T3-L1 adipocytes[S]
Fas (CD95) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily and plays a crucial role in the induction of apoptosis. However, like TNF, Fas can induce nonapoptotic signaling pathways.

FLASH knockdown sensitizes cells to Fas-mediated apoptosis via down-regulation of the anti-apoptotic proteins, MCL-1 and Cflip short. [PDF]
FLASH (FLICE-associated huge protein or CASP8AP2) is a large multifunctional protein that is involved in many cellular processes associated with cell death and survival.

Fetal-derived trophoblast use the apoptotic cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha-related apoptosis-inducing ligand to induce smooth muscle cell death. [PDF]
Remodeling of the uterine spiral arteries during pregnancy transforms them from high to low resistance vessels that lack vasoconstrictive properties. This process is essential to meet the demand for increased blood flow imposed by the growing fetus. Loss

Interactions of Tumor Necrosis Factor–Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) with the Immune System: Implications for Inflammation and Cancer [PDF]
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the TNF superfamily. TRAIL has historically been distinct from the Fas ligand and TNFα in terms of selective apoptosis induction in tumor cells and has a nearly non ...

Uterine spiral artery remodeling involves endothelial apoptosis induced by extravillous trophoblasts through Fas/FasL interactions. [PDF]
Objective— Invasion of uterine spiral arteries by extravillous trophoblasts in the first trimester of pregnancy results in loss of endothelial and musculoelastic layers.

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
