Plasma Fas ligand, an inducer of apoptosis, and plasma soluble Fas, an inhibitor of apoptosis, in patients with chronic congestive heart failure.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to examine plasma levels of soluble Fas/APO-1 receptor (sFas), an inhibitor of apoptosis, and soluble Fas ligand (sFas-L), an inducer of apoptosis, and their relation to each other and to other clinical variables, such as New York Heart Association functional class, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in congestive heart failure (CHF). BACKGROUND ...
متن کاملIncreased plasma levels of the soluble form of Fas ligand in patients with acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina pectoris.
OBJECTIVES To examine whether the Fas/Fas ligand system is involved in the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we measured the levels of the soluble form of the Fas ligand (sFasL) in the plasma of patients with AMI and stable or unstable angina pectoris (AP). BACKGROUND The Fas ligand (FasL) is rapidly cleaved off by a metalloproteinase from the cell membrane to become a solubl...
متن کاملAqueous Humor Levels of Soluble Fas and Fas-ligand in Patients with Primary Open Angle and Pseudoex-foliation Glaucoma
Background: Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness and is usually associated with elevated intraocular pressure. In patients with primary open angle glau-coma the number of trabecular meshwork cells is decreased. Death of the trabecular meshwork cells may be a result of apoptosis. Objective: To investigate the aqueous humor levels of soluble Fas (sFas) and Fas-Ligand (sFasL) in ...
متن کاملSoluble FaS and FaS-ligand PlaSma levelS in Heart tranSPlant reciPientS treated witH neoral or tacrolimuS
The plasma levels of soluble antiapoptotic Fas (sFas) and proapoptotic Fas-ligand (sFasl) proteins were studied in heart transplant recipients at one-month follow-up. The patients were treated with Neoral (n=18) or Tacrolimus (n=12) and concomitant immunosuppressive drugs. The sFas and sFasl levels were detected by ElISA. The values were related to treatment with Neoral or Tacrolimus in stable ...
متن کاملSoluble Fas ligand and soluble Fas in ocular fluid of patients with uveitis.
AIMS To investigate the presence of soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) and soluble Fas (sFas) in ocular fluid of patients with uveitis. METHODS Samples of aqueous humour (AH, n=17), vitreous fluid (n=9), and serum (n=60) were collected from patients with uveitis which included Behçet's disease, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, sarcoidosis, human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I) uveitis, sympathetic ...
