Faslg Background

FASLG gene encodes FAS ligand, a homotrimeric type II transmembrane protein belonging to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family [1]. FASLG is also called FASL, CD95L, or TNFSF6 (Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 6). FASL is mainly expressed in activated T lymphocytes and Natural Killer (NK) cells [2][3] and also has constitutive expression in immune-privileged sites such as the eyes and testis [4][5]. Bossi G and Griffiths GM found that FasL is stored in specialized secretory lysosomes in T cells and NK cells after synthesis, and the delivery of FasL to the cell surface may be associated with activation of these cells [6]. It has been reported that the cytoplasmic tail of FasL transduces the proliferation signal in CD8-T cells [7] and propagates a signal to arrest the cell cycle in CD4-T cells [8]. In the Fas-mediated apoptotic pathway, binding of FasL drives Fas clustering and binding of Fas to FADD. FADD recruits caspase-8 and caspase-10 to form the death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), triggering the cleavage of several pro-caspases and eventually inducing apoptosis [9]. In addition to its role in apoptosis, FASL is involved in immune privilege [5] and a cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-induced tissue destruction [10]. Significantly increased levels of FASL is detected in numerous diseases such as hemophagocytic syndrome [11], Diamond-Blackfan anemia [11], rheumatoid arthritis [13], myocarditis [12], and acute GvHD (graft-versus-host disease) [14].
