Radiation-induced expression of functional Fas ligand in EBV-positive human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

Abstract:

:Ionizing radiation remains a major therapeutic tool against human cancers, especially epithelial tumors, which account for the majority of human malignancies. Although Fas and Fas-L are essential determinants of apoptosis, few data support their role in the cytotoxic effect of ionizing radiation. Epstein-Barr-virus (EBV)-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) were chosen to address this question owing to their known sensitivity to ionizing radiation and their constitutive expression of the Fas-receptor. We here report that, in xenografted NPC cells, Fas-L expression, which was very low in basal conditions, was dramatically increased by tumor irradiation. Both the Fas receptor and the Fas ligand were found to be functional in this model, and a high proportion of irradiated NPC cells underwent apoptosis following tumor irradiation. Induction of Fas-L expression and apoptosis were observed for doses as low as 2 Gy. These data show an increase in Fas-L expression upon irradiation exposure, and strongly suggest that, in some epithelial malignancies, Fas-mediated apoptosis can play a major role in the anti-tumor effect of ionizing radiation, in the range of doses used for therapeutic applications.
