Abstract Background Fas ligand FasL induces apoptosis in Fas-bearing target cells such as leukocytes and up-regulation of FasL expression on the endothelium may contribute to anti-inflammatory reactions that attenuate leukocyte extravasation during inflammation. Since oxidants generated during inflammation and cigarette smoking may modulate endothelial function we examined the effect of H2O2 and cigarette smoke on endothelial FasL expression. Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells HUVECs were exposed to nontoxic concentrations of H2O2 and cigarette smoke extracts CSE . Membrane FasL expression was assessed by immunostaining with anti-FasL antibody followed by either monolayer-cell-based spectrofluorimetry or flow cytometry. Soluble FasL in culture supernatants was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. For the cytotoxic assay HUVECs were exposed to H2O2 and co-cultured with neutrophils. Neutrophils were stained by a peroxidase diaminobenzidine-based reaction and apoptosis was evaluated on the .
