Fas ligand- mediated killing by intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes. Participation in intestinal graft-versus-host disease.

Abstract: In vitro studies have demonstrated that intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) are constitutively cytotoxic; however, the mechanism and target of their cytotoxicity are unknown. Apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) and an increase in IEL numbers are classical signs of intestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), although whether IEL can mediate IEC apoptosis directly in GVHD is unclear. Recent evidence suggests that target epithelial organ injury observed in GVHD is predominantly Fas-mediated; … Show more

“…Quantitative measurements were performed in triplicate and standardized to the internal control of ␤-actin mRNA for each sample. Functionality of IEC FasL was analyzed by killing of L1210-and L1210-Fas target cells as described (19).…”

“…OT-2 transgenic mice were assessed by three-color analysis with anti-CD4-CyChrome, anti-V␣2-phycoerythrin, and anti-V␤8-FITC. Lymphocytes were isolated from spleens and lymph nodes, and primary intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) were isolated as outlined (19).…”

“…Because SEB induces the expression of FasL on T cells (43), it is possible that apoptosis of epithelial cells was mediated by interactions between Fas and FasL. This model is supported by the results of other studies documenting the expression of Fas on epithelial cells and FasL by intestinal T cells in graft-vs-host disease (54,55). Previous reports have suggested that changes in epithelial cell structure and function can occur after exposing tissue to SEB (41,56).…”
