CD40 ligation induces Apo-1/Fas expression on human B lymphocytes and facilitates apoptosis through the Apo-1/Fas pathway
The Apo-1/Fas antigen (CD95) mediates programmed cell death of lymphocytes when bound by Fas ligand or anti-Apo-1/Fas antibody. In contrast, the CD40 antigen provides a potent activation and survival signal to B lymphocytes when it is engaged by its T cell ligand (CD40L, gp39) or cross-linked by anti-CD40 antibody. In this study, we use human tonsillar B cells and the Ramos Burkitt's lymphoma B...
متن کاملStimulation of CD95 (Fas) blocks T lymphocyte calcium channels through sphingomyelinase and sphingolipids.
Calcium influx through store-operated calcium release-activated calcium channels (CRAC) is required for T cell activation, cytokine synthesis, and proliferation. The CD95 (Apo-1/Fas) receptor plays a role in self-tolerance and tumor immune escape, and it mediates apoptosis in activated T cells. In this paper we show that CD95-stimulation blocks CRAC and Ca(2+) influx in lymphocytes through the ...
متن کاملInvolvement of CD95 (Apo-1/Fas) ligand expressed by rat Kupffer cells in hepatic immunoregulation.
BACKGROUND & AIMS CD95 (Apo-1/Fas) ligand suppresses inflammatory responses in immune-privileged organs. In this study, modulation of the hepatic CD95 receptor/ligand system by interferon gamma and cyclosporin A was investigated. METHODS CD95 receptor and ligand expression were measured at the messenger RNA level by using quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and immuno...
متن کاملMaximal Proliferation of Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes Requires Reverse Signaling through Fas Ligand
Fas ligand (FasL/CD95L) is best known for its role in delivering apoptotic signals through its receptor, Fas (APO-1/CD95). In this study, we present evidence that FasL has a second role as a signaling receptor. Alloantigen-specific proliferation by multiple FasL- murine CTL lines is depressed compared to that of FasL+ CTL lines. FasL- CTLs kill efficiently on a per recovered cell basis and can ...
