Disease relevance of TNFRSF6

 

High impact information on TNFRSF6

  • Fas antigen (Fas Ag; CD95) is a cell surface molecule that can mediate apoptosis [3].
  • Theileria parva-transformed T cells show enhanced resistance to Fas/Fas ligand-induced apoptosis [4].
  • We observed upregulation of Fas in beta-cells of type 2 diabetic patients relative to nondiabetic control subjects [5].
  • These results support a new role for glucose in regulating Fas expression in human beta-cells [5].
  • These findings support the concept that CD4(+) CTL lyse macrophages pulsed with BHV-1 polypeptides through a Fas-mediated lytic pathway by inducing apoptosis in the target cells [6].

Anatomical context of TNFRSF6

 

Associations of TNFRSF6 with chemical compounds

  • However, a gap exists in our understanding of the Fas-mediated signaling mechanisms that are involved in either the loss of progesterone production or the structural regression of the corpus luteum [12].
  • Fas antigen mRNA was detectable in cultured granulosa and theca cells, and expression was increased by treatment with IFN but not TNF [9].
  • Theca cells were sensitive to Fas-mediated apoptosis before and after exposure to the LH surge [13].
  • These clustered LRs contained high NADPH oxidase activity, which increased in response to Fas stimulation [14].
  • Treatment with anisomycin or daunorubicin in the presence of ZVAD increased expression of FasL mRNA and protein but did not alter expression of Fas mRNA or protein [15].
 

Physical interactions of TNFRSF6

 

Regulatory relationships of TNFRSF6

  • IFN increased expression of Fas similarly in all types of media but was required for FasL-induced killing only in BM containing FBS or IGF [11].
