- Fas ligand or FasL is a homotrimeric type II transmembrane protein expressed on cytotoxic T lymphocytes. It signals through trimerization of FasR, which spans the membrane of the target cell.This trimerization usually leads to apoptosis, or cell death. Soluble Fas ligand is generated by cleaving membrane-bound FasL at a conserved cleavage site by the external matrix metalloproteinase MMP-7.eceptors [edit]. 1  FasR: The Fas receptor (FasR), or CD95, is the most intensely studied member of the death receptor family. 2  DcR3: Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) is a recently discovered decoy receptor of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily that binds to FasL, LIGHT, and TL1A.

Alternative Investigations for Irritable Bowel Syndrome Fecal Short Chain Fatty Acids. Rationale and Clinical Validity. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the principle nutrient substrates of the colonic epithelium, and are themselves produced in the intestinal lumen by commensal anaerobic bacteria via carbohydrate fermentation.

ReviewAnti-apoptosis and cell survival: A review Following an initial wave of interest on the role of BCL-2-like proteins in the regulation of apoptosis, several laboratories have refocused their attention on distinct aspects of the biology of pro- and antiapoptotic members of the BCL-2 family [28, 29].

LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND IMMUNITY. Antiphospholipid (AN-te-fos-fo-LIP-id) antibody syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune disorders occur if the body's immune system makes antibodies that attack and damage tissues or cells. Antibodies are a type of protein. They usually help defend the body against infections. In APS, however, the body makes antibodies that mistakenly attack phospholipids—a type of fat.

ReviewAnti-apoptosis and cell survival: A review Apoptotic cell death is a genetically programmed mechanism(s) that allows the cell to commit suicide [1] , [2] , [3] and [4] . Apoptosis is critically important for the survival of multicellular organisms by getting rid of damaged or infected cells that may interfere with normal function [5] and [6] .

Familial adenomatous polyposis Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder characterized by cancer of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. People with the classic type of familial adenomatous polyposis may begin to develop multiple noncancerous (benign) growths (polyps) in the colon as early as their teenage years.

Shear-Stress-Mediated Refolding of Proteins from Aggregates and Inclusion Bodies Recombinant protein overexpression of large proteins in bacteria often results in insoluble and misfolded proteins directed to inclusion bodies. We report the application of shear stress in micrometer-wide, thin fluid films to refold boiled hen egg white lysozyme, recombinant hen egg white lysozyme, and recombinant caveolin-1. Furthermore, the approach allowed refolding of a much larger protein, cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA).

Macrophage Activation TNF-alpha also contributes to the pro-apoptotic activity of the classically activated macrophage. TNF-alpha is accompanied by Fas Ligand/TNFSF6 secretion and NO release as a result of iNOS upregulation.

Apoptotic DNA fragmentation Apoptotic DNA fragmentation, visualised by the DNA laddering assay (left). A 1 kb marker (middle) and control DNA (right) are included for comparison. Apoptotic DNA fragmentation is a key feature of apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death.Apoptosis is characterized by the activation of endogenous endonucleases with subsequent cleavage of chromatin DNA into internucleosomal fragments of roughly 180 base pairs (bp) and multiples thereof (360, 540 etc.).n apoptotic DNA fragmentation, the DNA is cleaved in the internucleosomal linker region, which is the part of the DNA not wrapped around the histones. CAD cleaves DNA at internucleosomal linker sites between nucleosomes, protein-containing structures that occur in chromatin at ~180-bp intervals.

Benign Fasciculation Syndrome (BFS) Constant Muscle Twitching Benign fasciculation syndrome is characterized by occasional or nearly continuous twitching of various skeletal (voluntary) muscles in the body. This type of muscle twitching can also be seen in association with serious disorders like spinal injury, multiple sclerosis (MS) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).This can sometimes make benign fasciculation syndrome patients extremely anxious about the twitching due to the similarity of symptoms.his type of muscle twitching can also be seen in association with serious disorders like spinal injury, multiple sclerosis (MS) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

- Molecular mimicry, also called epitopic and antigenic mimicry, is one of the leading theories that attempt to explain why the immune system turns on its own body in autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes. In essence, the theory is very simple.

- Attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP) is a subtype of a condition known as familial adenomatous polyposis, called FAP or classic FAP.People with FAP or AFAP will have an increased number of adenomatous colon polyps during their lifetime and an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer.An adenomatous polyp is a lump filled with the cells that make mucous and line the inside of a person’s colon.Normally these cells are in flat sheets, but in FAP and AFAP they build up into polyps inside the intestinal tract.In AFAP, the total number of colon polyps is fewer than 100, with 30 being average.n adenomatous polyp is a lump filled with the cells that make mucous and line the inside of a person’s colon.

The BCL-2 family of proteins and its role in apoptosis At least 1 BH motif is contained in each of the BCL-2 family members. These motifs, in part, contribute to the function of each member. 5. The BCL-2 family members can be classified into 3 functional groups: anti-apoptotic proteins such as BCL-2, pro-apoptotic effectors, and pro-apoptotic activators (Figure 2.1).

Apoptosis Apoptosis in HeLa cells is inhibited by proteins produced by the cell; these inhibitory proteins target retinoblastoma tumor-suppressing proteins. These tumor-suppressing proteins regulate the cell cycle, but are rendered inactive when bound to an inhibitory protein.

The Role of Apoptosis-Induced Proliferation for Regeneration and Cancer Apoptosis-induced proliferation may also be the underlying cause of cell and tissue type-specific differences for tumor development. For example, NF-κB activation was found to be a tumor promoter in many tumors including colitis-associated cancer (CAC) and melanoma in mice (Greten et al. 2004; Yang et al.

- The two structural portions of the antibody, i.e. the variable (Fab) and the constant (Fc) fragments, impart distinct biological functions. These functions are outlined as follows: Fab-mediated functions: 1  Antigen recognition – One of the major functions of the Fab region is antigen recognition.2  The immune system generates large number of antibodies that can recognize virtually all possible antigens present in pathogens and their products.
