T Cell Receptor Signals Enhance Susceptibility to Fas-mediated Apoptosis
Fas(CD95) and its ligand (FasL) interaction plays a pivotal role in T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated apoptosis. However, the susceptibility of T cells to Fas-mediated apoptosis is tightly regulated during immune responses, a regulation which is thought to maintain the antigen-specificity of T cell apoptosis. Here we show that TCR stimulation enhances the induction of Fas-mediated apoptosis. In ad...
متن کاملZinc modulates airway epithelium susceptibility to death receptor-mediated apoptosis.
The accelerated loss of lung epithelium through activation of extrinsic apoptosis is believed to play a causative role in lung pathogenesis. Previous investigations have shown that zinc is required to sustain lung epithelial cell viability under stress conditions and that depletion of intracellular zinc predisposes cells to apoptosis. In this investigation, we determined whether intracellular z...
متن کاملCytokine regulation of human intestinal primary epithelial cell susceptibility to Fas-mediated apoptosis.
The regulatory mechanisms of nontransformed intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis have not been thoroughly investigated. We determined the susceptibility and mechanism of Fas-mediated apoptosis in nontransformed human intestinal epithelial cells (HIPEC) in the presence and absence of inflammatory cytokines. Despite ample expression of Fas, HIPEC were relatively insensitive to Fas-mediated apopto...
متن کاملFas-mediated apoptosis in cultured human eosinophils.
Previous studies have shown that cytokine-dependent eosinophils undergo apoptosis, yet the mechanisms governing this phenomenon remain obscure. Fas antigen is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the tumor necrosis factor receptor family. Cross-linking of Fas antigen in numerous cell types leads to apoptosis. In the present study, we examined the potential role of Fas antigen in the apopto...
متن کاملResistance to Fas-mediated apoptosis in human lung fibroblast.
The current authors have demonstrated previously that epithelial cell apoptosis, induced by the Fas-Fas ligand pathway, might be involved in fibrosing lung diseases. Whereas lung epithelial cells are sensitive to the Fas-mediated apoptosis, lung fibroblasts may be resistant to Fas-mediated apoptosis and replace damaged epithelial cells. The WI-38 lung fibroblast cell line and primary lung fibro...
