c-FLIP Protects Eosinophils from TNF-α-Mediated Cell Death In Vivo
PLoS ONE, 9(10), e107724.
Ed(s): H. Nakano
MeSH headings : Animals; Apoptosis / drug effects; Bone Marrow Cells / cytology; Bone Marrow Transplantation; CASP8 and FADD-Like Apoptosis Regulating Protein / genetics; CASP8 and FADD-Like Apoptosis Regulating Protein / metabolism; Cells, Cultured; Chromosomes, Artificial, Bacterial / genetics; Eosinophils / cytology; Eosinophils / drug effects; Eosinophils / metabolism; Genotype; Mice; Mice, Transgenic; NF-kappa B / metabolism; Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha / pharmacology; Up-Regulation / drug effects
TL;DR:
It is shown for the first time that eosinophils express the caspase 8-inhibitory protein c- FLIP, and c-FLIP expression is upregulated upon TNF-α stimulation, and this suggests c-FlIP as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of eOSinophil-mediated disease.
