Fas was recently demonstrated to be the major target molecule engaged by CD4+ cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL). We examined Fas expression on various cloned T cell subpopulations and their susceptibility to lysis by CD4+ or CD8+ CTL. A reciprocal relationship in Fas and Fas-ligand expression was observed in CD4+ T helper (Th)1- and Th2-type clones, and Fas mRNA was predominantly detected in Th2 clones, whereas Fas-ligand mRNA was principally found in Th1 clones. The two Th0 clones tested expressed both Fas and Fas-ligand, but only one exhibited cytolytic activity, whereas both were sensitive to CD4-mediated lysis. A functional consequence of the inverse Fas-Fas-ligand expression pattern was that Th2 and Th0 cells were sensitive to lysis by both Th1 CD4+ CTL and a CD8+ CTL clone in a Fas-dependent manner. These results suggest that cytolytic CD4+ Th1 cells may play an immunomodulatory role, regulating a Th2/Th0 response by Fas-mediated lysis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D015536 Down-Regulation A negative regulatory effect on physiological processes at the molecular, cellular, or systemic level.

D015704 CD4 Antigens 55-kDa antigens found on HELPER-INDUCER T-LYMPHOCYTES and on a variety of other immune cell types. They are members of the immunoglobulin supergene family and are implicated as associative recognition elements in MAJOR HISTOCOMPATIBILITY COMPLEX class II-restricted immune responses. On T-lymphocytes they define the helper/inducer subset. T4 antigens also serve as INTERLEUKIN-15 receptors and bind to the HIV receptors, binding directly to the HIV ENVELOPE PROTEIN GP120.
