Fas (CD95) and its ligand are central regulatory molecules in hematopoietic cells. Previous studies have suggested a role for Fas in the regulation of tumor progression, but Fas has not yet been conclusively identified as a tumor suppressor. Fas-deficient individuals lack malignant tumors, perhaps because of regulation by T cells. To investigate such a possibility, mice deficient in both T cells and Fas were generated, and they were found to develop severe B cell dysregulation characterized by malignant, lethal B cell lymphoma. Lymphoma arose from a monoclonal B220+CD19-CD5-CD23- B cell secreting immunoglobulin M, kappa rheumatoid factor. In contrast, animals containing alpha beta T cells, gamma delta T cells, and/or functional Fas suppressed the development of lymphoma. These data indicate that Fas functions as a tumor suppressor, and identifies roles for both alpha beta T cells and gamma delta T cells in Fas-independent tumor regulation.
Fas(CD95)及其配体是造血细胞中的核心调节分子。先前的研究表明Fas在肿瘤进展调节中发挥作用,但Fas尚未被确凿地鉴定为肿瘤抑制因子。Fas缺陷个体缺乏恶性肿瘤,这可能是由于T细胞的调节作用。为了研究这种可能性,构建了T细胞和Fas均缺陷的小鼠,发现它们出现了以恶性、致死性B细胞淋巴瘤为特征的严重B细胞失调。淋巴瘤起源于分泌免疫球蛋白M、κ类风湿因子的单克隆B220⁺CD19⁻CD5⁻CD23⁻B细胞。相比之下,含有αβT细胞、γδT细胞和/或功能性Fas的动物抑制了淋巴瘤的发展。这些数据表明Fas作为肿瘤抑制因子发挥作用,并确定了αβT细胞和γδT细胞在不依赖Fas的肿瘤调节中的作用。
