Increased Expression of Two Alternative Spliced Variants of CD1d Molecule in Human Gastric Cancer
Background: CD1d presents glycolipid antigens to invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. The role of CD1d in the development of peptic ulcer and gastric cancer has not been revealed, yet. Objective: To clarify the expression of alternatively spliced variants of CD1d in peptic ulcer and gastric cancer. Methods: Patients with dyspepsia were selected and divided into three groups of non-ulcer dys...
متن کاملAlternatively spliced androgen receptor variants.
Alternative splicing is an important mechanism for increasing functional diversity from a limited set of genes. Deregulation of this process is common in diverse pathologic conditions. The androgen receptor (AR) is a steroid receptor transcription factor with functions critical for normal male development as well as the growth and survival of normal and cancerous prostate tissue. Studies of AR ...
متن کاملProteoglycan forms of the lymphocyte homing receptor CD44 are alternatively spliced variants containing the v3 exon
The CD44 cell surface glycoprotein is expressed on a broad range of different tissues as multiple isoforms containing from one to ten alternatively spliced exons v1-v10 inserted within the extracellular domain. Differential glycosylation generates still further variability, yielding both N- and O-glycan-modified forms of CD44 in addition to proteoglycan-like variants containing chondroitin sulp...
متن کاملCell adhesion molecule CD44: its functional roles in prostate cancer.
CD44 is a cell adhesion glycoprotein that also governs cell signaling. Dysregulated CD44 expression characterizes most human cancers, including prostate cancer (PCa). PCa loses expression of CD44 standard (CD44s) that is present in benign epithelium, and overexpresses the novel splice variant (v) isoform, CD44v7-10. We studied CD44 in PCa for more than a decade, and in a series of papers, estab...
متن کاملDifferential expression of alternatively spliced neural cell adhesion molecule L1 isoforms during oligodendrocyte maturation.
The expression of neural cell adhesion molecules and myelin-specific molecules is precisely regulated according to cell type and developmental age. We investigated whether different isoforms of these molecules change during development of oligodendrocytes. Immature oligodendrocytes cultured from embryonic day 18 rat cerebrum were distinguished into early stage and late stage by morphological an...
