Members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and
TNF receptor families play important roles in inducing apoptosis and
mediating the inflammatory response. Activated T lymphocytes can
trigger the expression of Fas-ligand on non-lymphoid tissue, such as
intestinal epithelial cells (IEC), and this, in turn, can induce
apoptosis in the T cells. Here, we examine the role of TNF
Tumor Necrosis Factor
Up-regulates Non-lymphoid Fas-ligand
following Superantigen-induced Peripheral Lymphocyte Activation*
,
in
this feedback regulation. Injection of TNF
into mice caused a rapid
up-regulation of Fas-ligand mRNA in IEC. TNF
-induced activation
of the Fas-ligand promoter in IEC requires NF-
B as this was blocked
by an I-
B
M super-repressor and by mutation of an NF-
B site in
the Fas-ligand promoter. Activation of T cells by antigen induced
Fas-ligand expression in IEC in vivo in wild type, but not
in TNF
/
or TNFR1
/
mice. These results define a novel pathway
wherein TNF
, produced by activated T cells in the intestine, induce
Fas-ligand expression in IEC. This is the first observation that one
member of the TNF superfamily mediates the regulation of another family member and represents a potential feedback mechanism controlling lymphocyte infiltration and inflammation in the small intestine.
