Activated B cells express functional Fas ligand.

Fas ligand (FasL, Apo-1L) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor protein family and binding to its receptor (Fas, Apo-1, CD95) triggers cell death through apoptosis. Ligand expression is restricted to cells with known cytolytic activity and found on hematopoietic cells of the T cell and natural killer lineage. Here we provide evidence that B lymphocytes can express FasL. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that FasL is expressed on the surface of B cells upon stimulation with either lipopolysaccharide or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate/ionomycin. FasL expression on activated B cells was confirmed by western blot and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis. FasL on B cells is functional since lipopolysaccharide-activated B lymphocytes derived from wild type, but not from gld mutant mice, were able to kill Fas-sensitive target cells. Our data suggest that the Fas system may contribute to the control of B cell homeostasis.

Lipoprotéine(a): de l'athérosclérose à Alzheimer [Lipoprotein (a) in Alzheimer's atherosclerosis].

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an enigmatic lipoprotein particle present in the plasma from humans, great apes and hedgehogs. Plasma levels of Lp(a) vary widely between individuals and are largely determined by specific sequences within the gene encoding apo(a), the unique highly polymorphic glycoprotein attached to apoB of low density lipoprotein (LDL) to form Lp(a). Elevated plasma concentrations of LP(a) are associated with the premature development of atherosclerosis. A major goal of our laboratory is to better understand the metabolism of Lp(a) and its function in humans. We have identified unexpected and large variations in plasma Lp(a) levels during renal disease, HIV-infection and in sepsis. Moreover, we have observed an association between Lp(a) and Alzheimer disease. Taken together, our observations suggest that Lp(a) may constitute a novel target in our fight against cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders.
