To find whether Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) pathway is involved in T-2 toxin (T-2)-mediated thymocyte apoptosis, we used lpr/lpr (lpr) and gld/gld (gld) mice, whose Fas and FasL proteins, respectively, are functionally deficient, Based on the DNA fragmentation profile in gel electrophoresis and measurement of apoptotic cell percent by how cytometry, the levels of thymocyte apoptosis in Ipr and gld mice that had received T-2 showed that both lpr and gld mice had undergone apoptosis essentially to the same magnitude as those of corresponding wild type mice (+/+). These results strongly suggest that T-2-induced thymocyte apoptosis in vivo in mice is independent of the Fas/FasL pathway.
