Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a pronounced therapeutic potential in various pathological conditions. Though therapeutic effects of MSC transplantation have been studied for a long time, the underlying mechanisms are still not clear. It has been shown that transplanted MSCs are rapidly eliminated, presumably by apoptosis. As the mechanisms of MSC apoptosis are not fully understood, in the present work we analyzed MSC sensitivity to Fas-induced apoptosis using MSCs isolated from the biopsies of liver fibrosis patients (L-MSCs). The level of cell death was analyzed by flow cytometry in the propidium iodide test. The luminescent ATP assay was used to measure cellular ATP levels; and the mitochondrial membrane potential was assessed using the potential-dependent dye JC-1. We found that human L-MSCs were resistant to Fas-induced cell death over a wide range of FasL and anti-Fas mAb concentrations. At the same time, intrinsic death signal inducers CoCl2 and staurosporine caused apoptosis of L-MSCs in a dose-dependent manner. Despite the absence of Fas-induced cell death treatment of L-MSCs with low concentrations of FasL or anti-Fas mAb resulted in a cellular ATP level decrease, while high concentrations of the inducers caused a decline of the mitochondrial membrane potential. Pre-incubation of L-MSCs with the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α did not promote L-MSC cell death. Our data indicate that human L-MSCs have increased resistance to receptor-mediated cell death even under inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Mammalian cells show the ability to commit suicide through the activation of death receptors at the cell surface. Death receptors, among which Fas/CD95 is one of their most representative members, lack enzymatic activity, and depend on protein-protein interactions to signal apoptosis. Fas/CD95 death receptor-mediated apoptosis requires the formation of the so-called death-inducing signaling complex (DISC), bringing together Fas/CD95, Fas-associated death domain-containing protein and procaspase-8. In the last two decades, cholesterol-rich lipid raft platforms have emerged as scaffolds where Fas/CD95 can be recruited and clustered. The co-clustering of Fas/CD95 and rafts facilitates DISC formation, bringing procaspase-8 molecules to be bunched together in a limited membrane region, and leading to their autoproteolytic activation by oligomerization. Lipid raft platforms serve as a specific region for the clustering of Fas/CD95 and DISC, as well as for the recruitment of additional downstream signaling molecules, thus forming the so-called cluster of apoptotic signaling molecule-enriched rafts, or CASMER. These raft/CASMER structures float in the membrane like icebergs, in which the larger portion lies inside the cell and communicates with other subcellular structures to facilitate apoptotic signal transmission. This allows an efficient spatiotemporal compartmentalization of apoptosis signaling machinery during the triggering of cell death. This concept of proapoptotic raft platforms as a basic chemical-biological structure in the regulation of cell death has wide-ranging implications in human biology and disease, as well as in cancer therapy. Here, we discuss how these raft-centered proapoptotic hubs operate as a major linchpin for apoptosis signaling and as a promising target in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are cholesterol‐ and sphingolipid‐enriched specialized membrane domains within the plasma membrane. Lipid rafts regulate the density and activity of signal receptors by compartmentalizing them, promoting signalling cascades that play important roles in the survival, death and metastasis of cancer cells. In this review, we emphasize the current concept initially postulated by F. Mollinedo and C. Gajate on the importance of lipid rafts in cancer survival, death and metastasis by describing representative signalling pathways, including the IGF system and the PI3K/AKT, Fas/CD95, VEGF/VEGFR2 and CD44 signalling pathways, and we also discuss the concept of CASMER (cluster of apoptotic signalling molecule‐enriched rafts), coined, originally introduced and further advanced by F. Mollinedo and C. Gajate in the period 2005–2010. Then, we summarize relevant research progress and suggest that lipid rafts play important roles in the survival, death and metastasis of cancer cells, making them promising targets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Lipid rafts are heterogeneous membrane domains enriched in cholesterol, sphingolipids, and gangliosides that serve as sorting platforms to compartmentalize and modulate signaling pathways. Death receptors and downstream signaling molecules have been reported to be recruited into these raft domains during the triggering of apoptosis. Here, we provide two protocols that support the presence of Fas/CD95 in lipid rafts during apoptosis, involving lipid raft isolation and confocal microscopy techniques. A detailed protocol is provided for the isolation of lipid rafts, by taking advantage of their resistance to Triton X-100 solubilization at 4 °C, followed by subsequent sucrose gradient centrifugation and analysis of the protein composition of the different gradient fractions by Western blotting. In addition, we also provide a detailed protocol for the visualization of the coclustering of Fas/CD95 death receptor and lipid rafts, as assessed by using anti-Fas/CD95 antibodies and fluorescent dye-conjugated cholera toxin B subunit that binds to ganglioside GM1, a main component of lipid rafts, by immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. These protocols can be extended to any protein of interest to be analyzed for its association to lipid rafts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C patients (CHC) provides a high value, not only for the diagnosis of the disease, but also for the therapeutic decision. The aim of the current study is the construction of simple non-invasive and more accurate score for liver fibrosis staging in CHC patients and estimating its performance against three published non-invasive indexes. MATERIAL AND METHODS CHC patients were divided into two groups: an estimated group (n = 75) and validated group (n = 50). Liver fibrosis was tested in biopsies by Metavair score system. Fas/CD95, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and endostatin were assayed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Statistical analysis was performed by stepwise linear discriminate analysis and area under-receiver operating curves (AUCs). RESULTS The multivariate discriminate analysis (MDA) selects a function based on absolute values of five biochemical markers; FHEPA (Fas/CD95, HGF, Endostatin, Platelets&Albumin)-Test score = 1.2 × Fas/CD95 (ng/mL) + 0.006 × HGF (pg/mL) + 0.03 × Endostatin (ng/mL) - 0.007 × platelets count(109/L)-3.6 × Albumin (g/dL) - 8.6.FHEPA-Test producesAUCs 0.99, 0.877 and 0.847 to discriminate patients with significant fibrosis (F2-F4), advanced fibrosis (F3-F4) and cirrhosis (F4), respectively. CONCLUSION FHEPA-Test is considered a novel non-invasive test which could be applied in assessment of liver fibrosis in HCV infected patients. Our novel score was more efficient than Immune Fibrosis Index, Fibrosis Index and FibroQ and thus it could be more applicable, feasible & economic for Egyptian HCV patients. Our Novel Scoring system could be globalized to other populations to confirm its advantageous use in early diagnosis of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-1 was the first human retrovirus to be associated to cancer, namely adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), but its pathogenesis remains enigmatic, since only a minority of infected individuals develops either ATL or the neuroinflammatory disorder HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). A functional FAS -670 polymorphism in an interferon (IFN)-regulated STAT1-binding site has been associated to both ATL and HAM/TSP susceptibility. Fashi T stem cell memory (Tscm) cells have been identified as the hierarchical apex of ATL, but have not been investigated in HAM/TSP. In addition, both FAS and STAT1 have been identified in an IFN-inducible HAM/TSP gene signature, but its pathobiological significance remains unclear. We comprehensively explored Fas expression (protein/mRNA) and function in lymphocyte activation, apoptosis, proliferation, and transcriptome, in PBMC from a total of 47 HAM/TSP patients, 40 asymptomatic HTLV-1-infected individuals (AC), and 58 HTLV-1 -uninfected healthy controls. Fas surface expression followed a two-step increase from HC to AC and from AC to HAM/TSP. In HAM/TSP, Fas levels correlated positively to lymphocyte activation markers, but negatively to age of onset, linking Fashi cells to earlier, more aggressive disease. Surprisingly, increased lymphocyte Fas expression in HAM/TSP was linked to decreased apoptosis and increased lymphoproliferation upon in vitro culture, but not to proviral load. This Fashi phenotype is HAM/TSP-specific, since both ex vivo and in vitro Fas expression was increased as compared to multiple sclerosis (MS), another neuroinflammatory disorder. To elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying non-apoptotic Fas signaling in HAM/TSP, we combined transcriptome analysis with functional assays, i.e., blocking vs. triggering Fas receptor in vitro with antagonist and agonist-, anti-Fas mAb, respectively. Treatment with agonist anti-Fas mAb restored apoptosis, indicating biased, but not defective Fas signaling in HAM/TSP. In silico analysis revealed biased Fas signaling toward proliferation and inflammation, driven by RelA/NF-κB. Correlation of Fas transcript levels with proliferation (but not apoptosis) was confirmed in HAM/TSP ex vivo transcriptomes. In conclusion, we demonstrated a two-step increase in Fas expression, revealing a unique Fashi lymphocyte phenotype in HAM/TSP, distinguishable from MS. Non-apoptotic Fas signaling might fuel HAM/TSP pathogenesis, through increased lymphoproliferation, inflammation, and early age of onset.

Abstract
Lipid raft domains, enriched in sphingolipids and cholesterol, serve as sorting platforms and hubs for signal transduction proteins, and show resistance to detergent solubilization. Despite rafts have been involved in survival processes, these membrane domains have also been shown to play a major role in the modulation of death receptor signaling. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for isolating lipid rafts from whole cells by taking advantage of the lipid raft resistance to Triton X-100 solubilization at 4 °C, followed by sucrose gradient centrifugation, with subsequent analysis of Fas/CD95 death receptor localization in the raft fractions by immunoblotting. This method is also useful to localize additional proteins in membrane rafts.

Abstract
The Fas/FasL system is known, first and foremost, as a potent apoptosis activator. While its proapoptotic features have been studied extensively, evidence that the Fas/FasL system can elicit non-death signals has also accumulated. These non-death signals can promote survival, proliferation, migration, and invasion of cells. The key molecular mechanism that determines the shift from cell death to non-death signals had remained unclear until the recent identification of the tyrosine phosphorylation in the death domain of Fas as the reversible signaling switch. In this review, we present the connection between the recent findings regarding the control of Fas multi-signals and the context-dependent signaling choices. This information can help explain variable roles of Fas signaling pathway in different pathologies.

Abstract
Cell signaling does not apparently occur randomly over the cell surface, but it seems to be integrated very often into cholesterol-rich membrane domains, termed lipid rafts. Membrane lipid rafts are highly ordered membrane domains that are enriched in cholesterol, sphingolipids and gangliosides, and behave as major modulators of membrane geometry, lateral movement of molecules, traffic and signal transduction. Because the lipid and protein composition of membrane rafts differs from that of the surrounding membrane, they provide an additional level of compartmentalization, serving as sorting platforms and hubs for signal transduction proteins. A wide number of signal transduction processes related to cell adhesion, migration, as well as to cell survival and proliferation, which play major roles in cancer development and progression, are dependent on lipid rafts. Despite lipid rafts harbor mainly critical survival signaling pathways, including insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling, recent evidence suggests that these membrane domains can also house death receptor-mediated apoptotic signaling. Recruitment of this death receptor signaling pathway in membrane rafts can be pharmacologically modulated, thus opening up the possibility to regulate cell demise with a therapeutic use. The synthetic ether phospholipid edelfosine shows a high affinity for cholesterol and accumulates in lipid rafts in a number of malignant hematological cells, leading to an efficient in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity by inducing translocation of death receptors and downstream signaling molecules to these membrane domains. Additional antitumor drugs have also been shown to act, at least in part, by recruiting death receptors in lipid rafts. The partition of death receptors together with downstream apoptotic signaling molecules in membrane rafts has led us to postulate the concept of a special liquid-ordered membrane platform coined as "cluster of apoptotic signaling molecule-enriched rafts" (CASMER), referring to raft platforms enriched in apoptotic molecules. CASMERs act as scaffolds for apoptosis signaling compartmentalization, facilitating and stabilizing protein-protein interactions by local assembly of cross-interacting molecules, which leads to apoptosis amplification and a decrease in apoptotic signal threshold. Edelfosine also displaced survival PI3K/Akt signaling from lipid rafts, leading to Akt inhibition, in mantle cell lymphoma cells. Thus, membrane rafts could act as scaffold structures where segregation of pro- from anti-apoptotic molecules could take place. In this review, we summarize our view of how reorganization of the protein composition of lipid raft membrane domains regulates cell death and therefore it might be envisaged as a novel target in the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in ethanol-mediated cell death of polarized hepatic (WIF-B) cells.
METHODS: In this work, WIF-B cultures were treated with pyrazole (inducer of cytochrome P4502E1, CYP2E1) and/or L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a known inhibitor of hepatic glutathione (GSH), followed by evaluation of ROS production, antioxidant levels, and measures of cell injury (apoptosis and necrosis).
RESULTS: The results revealed that ethanol treatment alone caused a significant two-fold increase in the activation of caspase-3 as well as a similar doubling in ROS. When the activity of the CYP2E1 was increased by pyrazole pretreatment, an additional two-fold elevation in ROS was detected. However, the CYP2E1-related ROS elevation was not accompanied with a correlative increase in apoptotic cell injury, but rather was found to be associated with an increase in necrotic cell death. Interestingly, when the thiol status of the cells was manipulated using BSO, the ethanol-induced activation of caspase-3 was abrogated. Additionally, ethanol-treated cells displayed enhanced susceptibility to Fas-mediated apoptosis that was blocked by GSH depletion as a result of diminished caspase-8 activity.
CONCLUSION: Apoptotic cell death induced as a consequence of ethanol metabolism is not completely dependent upon ROS status but is dependent on sustained GSH levels.
