From the Many Fas-expressing cells do not undergo cell
death upon Fas stimulation. In the normal human diploid cell line
GM6112, the addition of soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) leads to
morphological signs of cell death in less than 1% of cells. Treatment
of serum-starved GM6112 fibroblasts with sFasL resulted in a rapid and
transient phosphorylation of ERK1/2 without a significant increase in
JNK and p38 activities. Unless co-treated with the protein synthesis inhibitor anisomycin, sFasL did not show gene-inducing activity in
cells maintained in complete medium. However, when cells were serum-starved for 4 days, treatment with sFasL alone induced
interleukin-6 gene expression and, less strongly, interleukin-8 gene
expression. Sensitization of the gene-inducing activity by serum
starvation correlated with NF-

B activation by sFasL. Furthermore, we
found that the expression of FADD and caspase-8 was significantly
reduced in serum-starved cells, whereas the level of cFLIP remained
unchanged. Transfection of GM6112 cells with the antisense caspase-8
expression construct sensitized cells toward sFasL-induced
NF-
B-dependent reporter activation. Our results support
the notion that a change in the ratio of cFLIP and caspase-8 may be
responsible for turning on the Fas-activated NF-
B pathway, which
otherwise is supplanted by the death-inducing pathway.
