Antiinflammatory Effects of CD95 Ligand (FasL)-induced Apoptosis
Apoptosis is critical to homeostasis of multicellular organisms. In immune privileged sites such as the eye, CD95 ligand (FasL)-induced apoptosis controls dangerous inflammatory reactions that can cause blindness. Recently, we demonstrated that apoptotic cell death of inflammatory cells was a prerequisite for the induction of immune deviation after antigen presentation in the eye. In this repor...
متن کاملCD95 ligand (FasL)-induced apoptosis is necessary for corneal allograft survival.
Although anatomical barriers and soluble mediators have been implicated in immune privilege, it appears that the apoptotic cell death of Fas+ cells by tissue-associated CD95 ligand (Fas ligand, FasL) is an important component. One clinical example of the function of an immune privileged site is the success of human corneal transplants, where a very high percentage of transplants accept without ...
متن کاملRole of the CD95/CD95 ligand system in glucocorticoid-induced monocyte apoptosis.
Glucocorticoids (GC) act as potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents on a variety of immune cells. However, the exact mechanisms of their action are still unknown. Recently, we demonstrated that GC induce apoptosis in human peripheral blood monocytes. In the present study, we examined the signaling pathway in GC-induced apoptosis. Monocyte apoptosis was demonstrated by annexin V st...
متن کاملCD95 ligand (Fas-L/APO-1L) and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand mediate ischemia-induced apoptosis in neurons.
Programmed cell death plays an important role in the neuronal degeneration after cerebral ischemia, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we examined, in vivo and in vitro, whether ischemia-induced neuronal death involves death-inducing ligand/receptor systems such as CD95 and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). After reversible middle cerebra...
متن کاملRole of endogenous Fas (CD95/Apo-1) ligand in balloon-induced apoptosis, inflammation, and neointima formation.
BACKGROUND Fas (CD95/Apo-1) ligand (FasL)-induced apoptosis in Fas-bearing cells is critically involved in modulating immune reactions and tissue repair. Apoptosis has also been described after mechanical vascular injury such as percutaneous coronary intervention. However, the relevance of cell death in this context of vascular repair remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS To determine whether ...
