CD44: A Multifaceted Molecule in Cancer Progression
CD44, a single pass transmembrane glycoprotein, initially characterized as lymphocyte homing receptor, has now been implicated in various stages of cancer development. The Anomaly in CD44 expression distinguishes most human cancers. CD44 is also identified as cancer stem cell marker. This review will comprehend the versatile role of CD44 during cancer initiation, proliferation, invasion, metast...
متن کاملAdhesion molecule CD44 as a prognostic factor in laryngeal cancer.
BACKGROUND Loss of expression of CD44 has been shown to be a factor of poor prognosis in some types of tumors. The purpose of this study was to analyze this event in relation to the survival of patients with laryngeal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS The expression of adhesion molecule CD44 was studied in 137 patients with laryngeal cancer. Data were gathered on clinical (primary tumor location, ...
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 کاملHalofuginone - the multifaceted molecule.
Halofuginone is an analog of febrifugine-an alkaloid originally isolated from the plant Dichroa febrifuga. During recent years, halofuginone has attracted much attention because of its wide range of beneficial biological activities, which encompass malaria, cancer, and fibrosis-related and autoimmune diseases. At present two modes of halofuginone actions have been described: (1) Inhibition of S...
متن کاملThe multifaceted role of MTDH/AEG-1 in cancer progression.
Cancer is the result of the progressive acquisition of multiple malignant traits through the accumulation of genetic or epigenetic alterations. Recent studies have established a functional role of MTDH (Metadherin)/AEG-1 (Astrocyte Elevated Gene 1) in several crucial aspects of tumor progression, including transformation, evasion of apoptosis, invasion, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Overexpr...
