Disease relevance of FASLG

  • We hypothesize that increased levels of CCL2 in the endometriotic environment may upregulate FASLG expression in human endometrial stromal cells and induce a local immunotolerance in endometriosis [1].
  • Genomic amplification of a decoy receptor for Fas ligand in lung and colon cancer [2].
  • As CD4 molecules are the primary receptors for human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), we conclude that HIV-1 envelope mediated CD4XL can lead to the generation of FasL-expressing CD4(+) T cells that can lead to apoptosis of CD4 as well as CD8 T cells [3].
  • HIV-1 Nef-induced FasL induction and bystander killing requires p38 MAPK activation [4].
  • Agonistic anti-Fas antibodies and multimeric recombinant Fas ligand (FasL) preparations show high tumoricidal activity against leukemic cells, but are unsuitable for clinical application due to unacceptable systemic toxicity [5].
  • Breast cancer patients with the FASL -844CC genotype had higher apoptotic TILs in their cancer tissues than those with the FASL -844TT genotype (33.7 +/- 1.2% versus 19.1 +/- 2.0%; P = 0.007) [6].
 

Psychiatry related information on FASLG

 

High impact information on FASLG

  • Active antigen-driven death is mediated by the expression of death cytokines such as FasL and TNF [12].
  • Within the nucleus, FKHRL1 triggers apoptosis most likely by inducing the expression of genes that are critical for cell death, such as the Fas ligand gene [13].
  • These encode amino acid substitutions that decrease caspase activity and interfere with death receptor-induced apoptosis, particularly that stimulated by Fas ligand and TRAIL [14].
  • Northern hybridization revealed that Fas ligand is expressed in activated splenocytes and thymocytes, consistent with its involvement in T cell-mediated cytotoxicity and in several nonlymphoid tissues, such as testis [15].
  • The amino acid sequence indicated that Fas ligand is a type II transmembrane protein that belongs to the TNF family [15].
