Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitansexpresses a number of toxins capable of inducing apoptotic cell death of T lymphocytes. However, the exact mechanism(s) has not been elucidated. The present study investigated the involvement of the Fas (CD95)‐mediated apoptotic pathway inA. actinomycetemcomitans‐induced T‐cell apoptosis. To that end, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were cultured with or withoutA. actinomycetemcomitanscell‐free culture supernatant (CFCS) for 0–96 h. The cells were then labeled with specific monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry was performed. Results demonstrated up‐regulation of Fas and activation of caspase‐3 in T cells in response toA. actinomycetemcomitansCFCS. Monocytes were the only cells analyzed to express Fas ligand (FasL) constitutively, and this was further up‐regulated in response toA. actinomycetemcomitansCFCS, while T cells expressed FasL only after this stimulation. Depletion of monocytes prior to stimulation withA. actinomycetemcomitansCFCS led to a marked decline in apoptosis. Blocking of Fas–FasL interactions with anti‐Fas monoclonal antibody or Fas:Fc fusion protein lead to a significant decline, but not abolition, of T‐cell apoptosis. Nearly all T cells expressed Bcl‐2 at the outset of culture, and Bcl‐2 expression declined in T cells stimulated withA. actinomycetemcomitansCFCS. Collectively, these data provide evidence for the induction of T‐cell apoptosis byA. actinomycetemcomitansvia the Fas‐mediated pathway, involving caspase‐3 and Bcl‐2. Moreover, this apoptotic response was dependent on the presence of monocytes.
