Expression of Fas antigen and Fas ligand in bronchoalveolar lavage from silicosis patients.
OBJECTIVE To understand the role of apoptosis through Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) interaction in the pathogenesis of silicosis, we examined the expression of Fas antigen, FasL and apoptosis in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid lymphocytes obtained from patients with silicosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients with silicosis, and 10 healthy controls were studied. Non-adherent cells were separated and a...
متن کاملFas/FasL Pathway Participates in Regulation of Antiviral and Inflammatory Response during Mousepox Infection of Lungs
Fas receptor-Fas ligand (FasL) signalling is involved in apoptosis of immune cells as well as of the virus infected target cells but increasing evidence accumulates on Fas as a mediator of apoptosis-independent processes such as induction of activating and proinflammatory signals. In this study, we examined the role of Fas/FasL pathway in inflammatory and antiviral response in lungs using a mou...
متن کاملEnhanced expression of Fas Ligand (FasL) in the lower airways of patients with fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs).
The exact role of FasL, and particularly its soluble and membrane-bound forms, in the development of chronic ILDs and lung fibrosis has not been extensively explored. We aimed at analyzing membrane-bound FasL expression on alveolar macrophages (AM) and lymphocytes (AL) as well as soluble FasL (sFasL) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) from ILDs patients, incl. pulmonary sarcoidosis (PS), hy...
متن کاملDifferential Induction of Apoptosis by Fas–Fas Ligand Interactions in Human Monocytes and Macrophages
Human monocytes undergo spontaneous apoptosis upon culture in vitro; removal of serum from the media dramatically increases the rate of this process. Monocyte apoptosis can be significantly abrogated by the addition of growth factors or proinflammatory mediators. We have evaluated the role of the endogenous Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) interaction in the induction of this spontaneous apoptosis and fou...
متن کاملCrosstalk between keratinocytes and T lymphocytes via Fas/Fas ligand interaction: modulation by cytokines.
Apoptosis mediated by Fas/FasL interaction plays an important role during many inflammatory skin disorders. To estimate whether the expression of FasL, the ligand for Fas, might be regulated by cytokines we stimulated primary human keratinocytes with several pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Keratinocytes cultured to subconfluence expressed FasL constitutively. Cells stimulated with the pro...
