Calcium alleviates fluoride-induced kidney damage via FAS/FASL, TNFR/TNF, DR5/TRAIL pathways in rats
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021 Long-term excessive intake of fluoride (F) can cause osseous and non-osseous damage. The kidney is the main fluoride excretion organ of the body. This study aimed to explore whether dietary calcium (Ca) supplementation can alleviate kidney damage caused ...

Galectin-1 sensitizes resting human T lymphocytes to Fas (CD95)-mediated cell death via mitochondrial hyperpolarization, budding, and fission. [PDF]
, 2005 Galectins have emerged as a novel family of immunoregulatory proteins implicated in T cell homeostasis. Recent studies showed that galectin-1 (Gal-1) plays a key role in tumor-immune escape by killing antitumor effector T cells.

Ovarian Matrisome Dynamics and αvβ3‐Mediated Regulation in Early Follicular Development
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The matrisome undergoes dynamic remodeling during early follicular development. Integrin αvβ3 mediates matrisome signals, regulating primordial follicle activation/atresia and secondary follicle growth via Hippo/mTOR pathways, with conserved roles in human ovaries, offering therapeutic targets for ovarian disorders.

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]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003 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]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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.

Effects of keratin filaments on ERK signaling during Fas-induced death of cervical cancer (HeLa) cells [PDF]
, 2014 Survival of cancer cells is influenced by a variety of factors, including physical elements such as keratin filaments. We know HeLa cells containing or lacking keratin 8/18 intermediate filaments (K+ and K- cells, respectively) are more sensitive to the ...

Depletion of the RNA‐Editing Enzyme ADAR1 Invigorates the Antitumor Immunity of NK Cells
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ADAR1 is upregulated in NK cells from melanoma patients, impairing their function. Its loss enhances NK cell tumor infiltration and cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, ADAR1 deficiency destabilizes CD38 mRNA to reduce its expression, thereby increasing NK cell mobility and killing, which nominates it as a therapeutic target for NK cell ...
