Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand in T cell development: sensitivity of human thymocytes.
TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) is a recently identified member of the tumor necrosis factor cytokine superfamily. TRAIL has been shown to induce apoptosis in various tumor cell lines, whereas most primary cells seem to be resistant. These observations have raised considerable interest in the use of TRAIL in tumor therapy. Yet little is known about the physiologi...
متن کاملTransformed Human Keratinocytes Apoptosis-inducing Ligand Sensitivity in Primary and Regulation of Tumor Necrosis Factor-related
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to exert potent cytotoxic activity against many tumor cell lines but not against normal cells. It has been hypothesized that this difference in TRAIL sensitivity between normal and transformed cells might be due to the expression of the non-death-inducing TRAIL receptors (TRAIL-R) TRAIL-R3 and TRAIL-R4, presumably by...

متن کاملCritical Role for Tumor Necrosis Factor–related Apoptosis-inducing Ligand in Immune Surveillance Against Tumor Development
Natural killer (NK) cells and interferon (IFN)-gamma have been implicated in immune surveillance against tumor development. Here we show that tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) plays a critical role in the NK cell-mediated and IFN-gamma-dependent tumor surveillance. Administration of neutralizing monoclonal antibody against TRAIL promoted tumor development in mice s...
متن کاملTunicamycin enhances tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand-induced apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells.
Death receptor 5 (DR5/TRAIL-R2) is an apoptosis-inducing membrane receptor for tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/Apo2L). In this study, we showed that tunicamycin, a naturally occurring antibiotic, is a potent enhancer of TRAIL-induced apoptosis through up-regulation of DR5 expression. Tunicamycin significantly sensitized PC-3, androgen-independent human prostate ca...
