The role of Fas in the regulation of solid tumor growth was
investigated. Murine renal carcinoma (Renca) cells were constitutively
resistant to Fas-mediated killing in vitro, but exhibited increased
expression of Fas and sensitivity to Fas-mediated killing after
exposure to IFN-
and TNF. Transfected Renca cells overexpressing Fas
were efficiently killed in vitro upon exposure to anti-Fas Ab
(Jo2). When Fas-overexpressing Renca cells were injected into syngenic
BALB/c mice, there was a consistent and significant delay in tumor
progression, reduced metastasis, and prolonged survival that was not
observed for Renca cells that overexpressed a truncated nonfunctional
Fas receptor. The delay of in vivo tumor growth induced by Fas
overexpression was not observed in IFN-
-/- mice,
indicating that IFN-
is required for the delay of in vivo tumor
growth. However, there was a significant increase of infiltrated T
cells and in vivo apoptosis in Fas-overexpressing Renca tumors, and
Fas-overexpressing Renca cells were also efficiently killed in vitro by
T cells. In addition, a strong therapeutic effect was observed on
Fas-overexpressing tumor cells by in vivo administration of
anti-Fas Ab, confirming that overexpressed Fas provides a
functional target in vivo for Fas-specific ligands. Therefore, our
findings demonstrate that Fas overexpression on solid tumor cells can
delay tumor growth and provides a rationale for therapeutic
manipulation of Fas expression as a means of inducing tumor regression
in vivo.
