Fas Cancer Research Results

Fas, Fas Death receptor: Click to Expand ⟱

Source:

Type:

Fas (also known as CD95 or APO-1) and Fas ligand (FasL) are proteins that play a crucial role in the regulation of programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis.

The Fas/FasL system is involved in the elimination of damaged or unwanted cells, including cancer cells.
Fas agonists, which mimic the action of FasL, have been shown to induce apoptosis in cancer cells. FasL inhibitors, which block the interaction between Fas and FasL, have been shown to enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and immunotherapy

Fas is often expressed ,and may be associated with better responses to chemotherapy, but its role in promoting cell survival in certain contexts can complicate its prognostic implications.

Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Fields (nsPEFs) for Precision Intracellular Oncotherapy: Recent Advances and Emerging Directions

Review,

Var,

MMP↓, nsPEF bypasses plasma-membrane shielding to porate organelles, collapse mitochondrial potential, perturb ER calcium, and transiently open the nuclear envelope.
Ca+2↑,
eff↑, synergy with checkpoint blockade.
ER Stress↑, capacity to directly target organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER),
selectivity↑, selectively ablate solid tumors, suppress metastatic spread, and prime systemic anti-tumor immunity while sparing adjacent normal tissue [7,9,10,11,12,13,14,15].
CSCs↓, Preclinical investigations have demonstrated that nsPEFs significantly reduce CSC-associated subpopulations, including CD44+/CD24− cells in breast cancer xenografts and CD133+ glioma stem-like cells
CD44↓,
CD133↓,
ROS↑, nsPEFs release Ca2+ from the ER, disrupt mitochondrial membrane potential, induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and perturb nuclear chromatin structure within nanoseconds
Imm↑, nsPEFs not only eliminate local tumor cells but also convert the tumor into an in situ vaccine, amplifying their therapeutic relevance in the era of immunotherapy
DNAdam↑, figure 2
MOMP↑, induce mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP)
Cyt‑c↑,
Casp9↑, Subsequent release of cytochrome c enables apoptosome assembly, caspase-9 activation, and downstream activation of caspases-3/7, culminating in cell death
Casp3↑,
Casp9↑,
TumCD↑,
Fas↑, In certain cell types, nsEP can also activate the extrinsic pathway, where Fas receptor clustering stimulates caspase-8.
UPR↑, This rapid surge triggers ER stress pathways, activates unfolded protein response (UPR) signaling, and promotes cross-talk with mitochondria through mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs)
Dose↝, longer ns pulses (100–300 ns) generate sustained plasma membrane charging, resulting in robust Ca2+ influx, osmotic imbalance, and apoptotic priming.
Dose↝, A critical threshold of 10–20 kV/cm is generally required to initiate pore formation in malignant cells, with higher amplitudes (>30–40 kV/cm) producing more extensive permeabilization [100].
Dose↓, Low pulse counts (<100) frequently produce reversible stress responses, such as transient mitochondrial depolarization or ER Ca2+ release, without committing cells to apoptosis. I
Dose↑, In contrast, higher pulse counts (500–1000) lead to irreversible apoptosis, caspase activation, and release of DAMPs that initiate ICD [80,106].
HMGB1↓, ICD after nsPEF is characterized by surface exposure of calreticulin, extracellular ATP release, and HMGB1 emission
eff↑, The integration of nsPEFs with NP-based systems thus represents a synergistic platform where physical membrane poration and molecular targeting cooperate to maximize therapeutic efficacy.
EPR↑, demonstrates that PEF + AuNPs enhanced membrane permeabilization compared with PEF alone,
ChemoSen↑, The superior efficacy of delayed drug administration following nsPEF exposure can be attributed to transient biophysical and biochemical changes that persist after pulsing.
ETC↝, study demonstrated that nsPEFs dynamically alter trans-plasma membrane electron transport (tPMET) and mitochondrial electron transport chain activity, resulting in differential ROS generation in cancer versus non-cancer cells (Figure 9).
*AntiAge↑, Mechanistically, nsPEFs upregulated HIF-1α and SIRT1, mediators of mitochondrial retrograde signaling, thereby reversing hallmarks of aging
