The antiapoptotic molecule Fas-associated death domain-like IL-1beta-converting enzyme inhibitory protein (FLIP) inhibits Fas-mediated apoptosis by blocking activation of caspase-8. We previously showed that expression of transgenic FLIP on thyroid epithelial cells (TECs) of DBA/1 and CBA/J mice promoted earlier resolution of granulomatous experimental autoimmune thyroiditis in vivo. This study was undertaken to directly determine whether transgenic FLIP expressed on cultured TECs can protect TECs from Fas-mediated apoptosis in vitro. The results indicate that cultured TECs from DBA/1 and CBA/J mice can be sensitized in vitro by interferon-gamma and TNF-alpha to undergo Fas-mediated apoptosis. Transgenic overexpression of FLIP protected cultured TECs of FLIP transgene (Tg)+ DBA/1 and CBA/J mice from Fas-mediated apoptosis, and FLIP small interfering RNA transfection of cultured TECs of FLIP Tg+ DBA/1 and CBA/J mice abolished the protective effect. These in vitro results are consistent with our previous in vivo studies using DBA/1 and CBA/J FLIP Tg+ mice and provide direct support for the hypothesis that transgenic expression of FLIP promotes resolution of granulomatous experimental autoimmune thyroiditis by protecting TECs from apoptosis.
