|
A total of 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) distributed in CD28, CTLA4, ICOS, PDCD1, FAS, TNFA, IL6, IFNG, TGFB1 and IL10 genes were determined in patients and healthy individuals from three independent case/control sets.

The multi-locus analysis revealed higher frequencies in cancer patients of three three-genotype combinations [CD28+17(TT)/IFNG+874(AA)/TNFA-308(GG), CD28+17(TT)/IFN+847(AA)/PDCD1+7785(CT), and CD28 +17(TT)/IFNG+874(AA)/ICOS+1564(TT)] (P < 0.01, Monte Carlo simulation).

|
We hypothesized that this two-genotype [CD28(TT) and IFNG(AA)] combination could have a major contribution to the observed association.
|
| 5 |
18337305
|
To address this question, we analyzed the frequency of the CD28(TT), IFNG(AA) genotype combination in the three groups combined, and observed its increase in patients (P = 0.0011 by Fisher's exact test).
|

18337305
|
Further analysis suggested that gene-gene interaction between CD28 and IFNG might contribute to susceptibility to cervical cancer.
|
| 7 |
18337305
|
Our results showed an epistatic effect between CD28 and IFNG genes in susceptibility to cervical cancer, a finding that might be relevant for a better understanding of the disease pathogenesis.

Prostaglandin E2 (1 microM) and PGF2alpha (1 microM) significantly stimulated progesterone (P4) production and reduced the levels of cell death in the cells cultured with or without tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF)/interferon gamma (IFNG), in the presence and absence of FAS ligand (P < 0.05).
|
| 9 |
18463360
|
Furthermore, DNA fragmentation induced by TNF/IFNG was observed to be suppressed by PGE2 and PGF2alpha.
|
| 10 |
18463360
|
Prostaglandin E2 and PGF2alpha also attenuated mRNA expression of caspase 3 and caspase 8, as well as caspase 3 activity (P < 0.05) in TNF/IFNG-treated cells.
|

|
A specific P4 receptor antagonist (onapristone) attenuated the apoptosis-inhibitory effects of PGE2 and PGF2alpha in the absence of TNF/IFNG (P < 0.05).

The Decoy Receptor 3 (DcR3) is known to compete with the signalling receptors of the Fas ligand (FasL), LIGHT and the TNF-like molecule 1A (TL1A).
|
| 13 |
19269042
|
Treatment of PLP-specific lymph node cells with DcR3.Fc protein resulted in a suppression of IFN-g and IL-17, in a reduced proportion of Th17 cells and in a decrease of encephalitogenicity.
|
| 14 |
19269042
|
The Th17 response promoting cytokines IL-6 and IL-23 were suppressed by DcR3.Fc as well.
|
| 15 |
19269042
|
DcR3.Fc-treatment of CD4+ T cells with a defective FasL did not influence the production of IL-17 indicating that DcR3 suppresses IL-17 production by disruption of Fas-FasL interactions.

Is FAS/Fas ligand system involved in equine corpus luteum functional regression?
|

|
Proapoptotic factor Fas ligand (FASL) and its cell surface receptor FAS are tumor necrosis factor superfamily members that trigger apoptosis in different cell types.
|
| 18 |
20720169
|
The aim of the present work was to determine (i) the presence of the cytokine FASL and its receptor FAS in the mare's corpus luteum (CL) throughout the luteal phase, as well as (ii) the influence of FASL alone, or together with the cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) and interferon gamma (IFNG), on equine luteal cell production of luteotrophic and luteolytic factors, cell viability, and apoptosis.
|
| 19 |
20720169
|
FASL and FAS protein expression and mRNA transcription were evaluated in different luteal stages of the equine CL by Western blotting and real-time PCR assays, respectively.
|
| 20 |
20720169
|
Also, FAS and FASL proteins were present in large steroidogenic and endothelial CL cells throughout the luteal phase, as demonstrated by immunohistochemistry.
|
| 21 |
20720169
|
Equine luteal cells isolated from midluteal phase CL were stimulated without (control) or with exogenous cytokines: FASL (10 ng/ml); TNF+IFNG (10 ng/ml each; positive control) or FASL+TNF+IFNG (10 ng/ml each).
|
| 22 |
20720169
|
Furthermore, FASL effect on equine luteal cell viability depended on the presence of cytokines TNF and IFNG.
|
| 23 |
20720169
|
In conclusion, this study shows the presence of FASL and FAS in the equine CL and suggests their importance in functional luteolysis.

We genotyped ten polymorphisms in three cytokine genes (IFNG, TNF, and TGFB1) and FAS gene.
|
| 25 |

|
In addition, it was found that polymorphisms in IFNG and TGFB1 are associated with response to IST.

Microarray and qRT-PCR data analyses showed significant upregulation of some cytotoxicity-related genes, including those from the granzyme family, tumor necrosis factor, Fas Ligand, and chemokines, in the spleen cells of IFNg KO mice.
|
| 27 |
21976969
|
Furthermore, CD8+ cells instead of NK cells of IFNg KO mice exhibited increased transcription of cytotoxic genes compared with WT mice.
|
| 28 |
21976969
|
Additionally, Schistosoma japonicum-specific egg antigen immunization also could activate CD8+ T cells to upregulate the expression of cytotoxic genes in IFNg KO mice.

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of cytokines--tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF), interferon gamma (IFNG) and Fas ligand (FASL)--on in vitro modulation of angiogenic activity and mRNA level of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF), its receptor VEGFR2, thrombospondin 1 (TSP1), and its receptor CD36 in equine corpus luteum (CL) throughout the luteal phase.
|

22492973
|
The role of VEGF on regulation of luteal secretory capacity was assessed by progesterone (P(4)) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production and by mRNA levels for steroidogenic enzymes 3-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3betaHSD) and PGE synthase (PGES).
|
| 31 |
22492973
|
In early CL cells, TNF increased angiogenic activity (bovine aortic endothelial cell viability) and VEGF and VEGFR2 mRNA levels and decreased CD36 (real-time PCR relative quantification).
|
| 32 |
22492973
|
In mid-CL cells, TNF increased VEGF mRNA and protein expression (Western blot analysis) and reduced CD36 mRNA levels, while FASL and TNF+IFNG+FASL decreased VEGF protein expression.
|
| 33 |
22492973
|
In late CL cells, TNF and TNF+IFNG+FASL reduced VEGFR2 mRNA, but TNF+IFNG+FASL increased TSP1 and CD36 mRNA.
|
| 34 |
22492973
|
VEGF treatment increased mRNA levels of 3betaHSD and PGES and secretion of P(4) and PGE(2).
|
| 35 |
22492973
|
In conclusion, these findings suggest a novel auto/paracrine action of cytokines, specifically TNF, on the up-regulation of VEGF for angiogenesis stimulation in equine early CL, while at luteolysis, cytokines down-regulated angiogenesis.

Using the mare CL as a model, reports on locally produced cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor α (TNF), interferon gamma (IFNG), or Fas ligand (FASL), pointed out their role on angiogenic activity modulation throughout the luteal phase.

|
Moreover, TNF, IFNG and FASL were shown to regulate equine CL establishment and regression.
|
| 39 |
23941776
|
TNF increased eNOS mRNA level and NO metabolite (nitrite) production during CL growth.
|
| 40 |
23941776
|
Cytokines combined action (TNF+IFNG+FASL) promoted eNOS protein upregulation in mid-CL and nitrite production in mid and late-CL.
|
| 41 |
23941776
|
These results indicate that in equine CL, cytokines TNF, IFNG and FASL regulate NO activity, via eNOS expression modulation.
