The caspase-8 inhibitor c-FLIP blocks death receptor-mediated cell death and plays an essential role in the regulation of lymphocyte homeostasis and the immune escape of tumors. The murine thymoma cell line EL-4 was resistant to Fas ligand (FasL)-induced apoptosis by constitutive expression of FLIP (L). Cycloheximide downregulated the expression of FLIP (L) and markedly sensitized EL-4 cells to FasL-induced apoptosis. In contrast, DNA-damaging agents sensitized EL-4 cells to FasL-induced cell death via an increase of cell-surface Fas without any influence on FLIP (L) expression. Enforced expression of transfected Fas rendered EL-4 cells highly susceptible to FasL-induced cell death. These findings demonstrate that susceptibility to FasL-induced cell death mainly depends on the expression level of c-FLIP versus cell-surface Fas.
