Ionizing radiation (IR) is known to upregulate cell surface Fas through p53 activation in various cells. However, the signaling pathway intermediating between p53 activation and cell surface Fas upregulation remains to be elucidated. Recently, Fas-associated phosphatase-1 (FAP-1) has been reported to associate with Fas and inhibit cell surface Fas expression. We evaluated the expression of FAP-1 mRNA following IR in A549 cells. Ionizing radiation inhibited the expression of FAP-1 mRNA. Pretreatment with p53 inhibitor pifithrin α cancelled the IR-induced downregulation of FAP-1 mRNA. These results suggest that IR-induced p53 activation may upregulate cell surface Fas via the down-modulation of FAP-1.
