lHuman cytotoxic T lymphocytes with reduced sensitivity to Fas-induced apoptosis [PDF]
Effector-memory T cells expressing Fas (Apo-1/CD95) are switched to an apoptotic program by cross-linking with Fas-ligand (FasL). Consequently, tumors that express FasL can induce apoptosis of infiltrating Fas-positive T lymphocytes and subdue any ...

Function of BID - a molecule of the bcl-2 family - in ischemic cell death in the brain [PDF]
Mitochondrial mechanisms, particularly the release of cytochrome c, play a role in the death of nerve and glial cells in cerebral ischemia. We have currently investigated whether BID, a proapoptotic molecule of the bcl-2 family and promoter of the ...

Overexpression of Mcl-1 exacerbates lymphocyte accumulation and autoimmune kidney disease in lpr mice [PDF]
Cell death by apoptosis has a critical role during embryonic development and in maintaining tissue homeostasis. In mammals, there are two converging apoptosis pathways: the ‘extrinsic’ pathway, which is triggered by engagement of cell surface ‘death ...

Carbon Monoxide Modulates Fas/Fas Ligand, Caspases, and Bcl-2 Family Proteins via the p38α Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase Pathway during Ischemia-Reperfusion Lung Injury [PDF]
Carbon monoxide is protective in ischemia-reperfusion organ injury, but the precise mechanisms remain elusive. We have recently shown that low levels of exogenous carbon monoxide (CO) utilize p38 MAPK and attenuate caspase 3 activity to exert an antiapoptotic effect during lung ischemia-reperfusion injury. Our current data demonstrate that CO activates

PMA and ionomycin induce glioblastoma cell death: activation-induced cell-death-like phenomena occur in glioma cells. [PDF]
Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin (Io) can induce T cell activation and proliferation. Furthermore, they stimulate activation-induced cell death (AICD) in mature lymphocytes via Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) up-regulation.

Escape from immunotherapy: possible mechanisms that influence tumor regression/progression [PDF]
Tumor escape is one major obstacle that has to be addressed prior to designing and delivering successful immunotherapy. There is compelling evidence to support the notion that immunogenic tumors, in murine models and cancer patients, can be rejected by ...

Apoptosis Transcriptional Profile Induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis HmuY
This study aimed at evaluating the transcriptional profile of apoptosis-related genes after in vitro stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) derived from individuals with periodontitis (P) and healthy nonperiodontitis (NP) control ...

Effector and naturally occurring regulatory T cells display no abnormalities in activation induced cell death in NOD mice. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Disturbed peripheral negative regulation might contribute to evolution of autoimmune insulitis in type 1 diabetes. This study evaluates the sensitivity of naïve/effector (Teff) and regulatory T cells (Treg) to activation-induced cell death ...

Marked mitigation of transplant vascular sclerosis in FasL(gld) (CD95L) mutant recipients. I. The role of alloantibodies in the development of chronic rejection [PDF]
Background. In the acute rejection of allografts, the interaction between Fas (CD95) and its ligand (FasL; CD95L) has been shown to be involved in mediating apoptotic cell death.

Intrahepatic mRNA Expression of FAS, FASL, and FOXP3 Genes Is Associated with the Pathophysiology of Chronic HCV Infection. [PDF]
UNLABELLED:This study aimed to evaluate the relative mRNA expression of Fas receptor (FAS), Fas ligand (FASL), and forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) in liver biopsy specimens obtained from patients with viral and non-viral chronic hepatitis and correlate ...
