IFN-{gamma} Induces Cell Growth Inhibition by Fas-mediated Apoptosis: Requirement of STAT1 Protein for Up-Regulation of Fas and FasL Expression1

Xiulong Xu2, Xin-Yuan Fu, Janet Plate and Anita S-F. Chong

Departments of General Surgery [X. X., A. S-F. C.], Medicine [J. P.], and Immunology/Microbiology [J. P., A. S-F. C.], Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois 60612, and Department of Pathology, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 05620-8023 [X-Y. F.]

The mechanism by which IFN-{gamma} inhibits tumor cell growth has not been fully understood. Here we report that IFN-{gamma} up-regulated the expression of Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) on HT29 cells, a human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, and subsequently induced apoptosis of these cells. The kinetics of cell death in IFN-{gamma}-treated HT29 cells paralleled the increase in the levels of Fas and FasL expression. We further show that IFN-{gamma} up-regulated the expression of Fas and FasL in STAT1-transfected U3A cells but not in STAT1-deficient U3A cells. Correspondingly, IFN-{gamma} induced cell death in STAT1-transfected U3A cells but not in STAT1-deficient U3A cells. IFN-{gamma}-induced cell death was inhibited by caspase-1 inhibitors. Our results suggest that cell growth inhibition by IFN-{gamma} is due to apoptosis mediated by Fas and FasL interaction.
