The role of Fas-FasL interactions in kidney allograft injury may be complex as renal tubular epithelial cells (TEC) express both Fas and FasL. The role and regulation of TEC self-injury has not been investigated. In co-cultures of TEC, FasL-bearing, Fas-null TEC was demonstrated to induce apoptosis of TEC-bearing Fas. Co-culturing effector lpr-TEC (M3.1-lpr) with target WT-TEC (CS3.7) at a ratio of 10:1 (E/T) induced 15.2 +/- 2.4% of target apoptosis as compared to its basal level of 2.6 +/- 0.3%. Similarly lpr-TEC induced apoptosis in gld-TEC (MRM-gld) from a basal level of 3.7 +/- 0.2% to 6.4+/- 0.3%. Expression of kidney Fas-FasL on injury was tested in a renal transplant model. C57BL/6(B6) mice were transplanted with Fas-deficient C3H-lpr/lpr or FasL mutation C3H gld/gld kidneys as compared to normal (wild-type [WT]) C3H/Hej donors. Survival of both lpr and gld recipient was improved compared to WT donors (P
