Cytokine effects on cell survival and death of A549 lung carcinoma cells

► IL-13, TNF-α and IL-1β attenuated Fas-induced death through NF-κB, PI3-K and MAPK. ► IL-13 and TNF-α cell survival effects may be due to increased FLIPL expression. ► IL-13, TNF-α and IL-1β did not alter Fas expression. ► IL-13, TNF-α and IL-1β did not alter Bcl-2 family expression. ► IL-13, TNF-α and IL-1β did not alter c-IAP1 and c-IAP2 expression.
