Serum soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) in patients with primary squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
Esophageal carcinomas have been shown to express Fas ligand (FasL) and down-regulate Fas to escape from host immune surveillance. Circulating soluble FasL (sFasL) has been suggested to provide protection from Fas-mediated apoptosis. The aim of this study was to assess serum sFasL levels in esophageal cancer. The pretreatment levels of sFasL in the serum of 100 patients with esophageal squamous ...
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 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 ...
متن کاملSoluble Fas in serum of patients with HIV/AIDS.
To the Editor: In HIV infection, the mechanism of destruction of the CD41 T cells is unknown. Apoptosis may play an important role in the pathogenesis of HIV. One apoptotic pathway is mediated through the Fas-Fas ligand pathway. Soluble Fas (sFas) in serum is thought to act as an inhibitor of Fas-Fas ligand binding and to block Fas-mediated apoptosis (1 ). We studied the role of sFas as a marke...
متن کاملSerum levels of soluble Fas in patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy.
AIM To assess levels of soluble Fas (sFas) in the sera of patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy. METHODS The subjects in this study were 43 patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy and 11 normal subjects. Serum levels of sFas were determined by sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. In addition, serum levels of thyroid stimulating antibody (TSAB) were also measured in all the patients. RESU...
