Western blotting showed that a single injection of naltrexone (1 mg/kg) induced a down-regulation of the pro-apototic proteins Fas, FasL, Bad and Bax. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The transgenic FasL mRNA was highly expressed on days 2 to 10 and obviously decreased on day 20 after virus injection (Fig. 2, lanes 26), which suggests that repeated administration of FasL gene transfer would be necessary to maintain a high level of FasL transgene expression in vivo. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Concurrently, a down-regulation of the proapoptotic proteins FasL and Bad was detected in cortical lysates. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
An analogue of viral double-stranded RNA, polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C), which is recognized by TLR3, was injected into autoimmune-prone strains: MRL/Mp mice (MRL/+), MRL/Mp mice with a deficit of Fas (MRL/lpr) and MRL/Mp mice with a deficit of functional FasL (MRL/gld). | |||||||||||||||

|
To determine the consequences of the combined mutations on cell survival, we sorted several lymphocyte populations and subjected them in culture to cytokine deprivation, treatment with FasL, the calcium ionophore ionomycin, PMA, or the DNA damage-inducing drug etoposide. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Finally, mouse Fas-Fc protein was used as a competitive inhibitor of Fas/Fas-L interactions [36]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Because sFasL is much less efficient than membrane-bound FasL at inducing Fas-mediated apoptosis in T cells, any mechanism that promotes FasL shedding can dramatically decrease FasL bioactivity [99, 100] thereby decreasing Fas-mediated apoptosis and promoting CD4+T cell-mediated autoimmunity.
9. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Subsequent experiments indicated that TCAH induced a mediated cleavage of FasL rather than suppressing FasL at the level of gene transcription [98]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
To test this, lpr mice and gld mice which have defective Fas and FasL expressions respectively, were used [32,47]. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Fas/Fas ligand (FasL; CD178) are deficient in autoimmune lpr and gld mice, which develop profound lymphadenopathies. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
As expected, this expression was absent in lpr and gld mice. | |||||||||||||||
