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 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 کاملCdk5: a multifaceted kinase in neurodegenerative diseases.
Since the identification of cyclin-dependent kinase-5 (Cdk5) as a tau kinase and member of the Cdk family almost 20 years ago, deregulation of Cdk5 activity has been linked to an array of neurodegenerative diseases. As knowledge on the etiopathological mechanisms of these diseases evolved through the years, Cdk5 has also been implicated in additional cellular events that are affected under thes...
متن کاملMultifaceted link between cancer and inflammation.
Increasing evidence from epidemiological, preclinical and clinical studies suggests that dysregulated inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in a multitude of chronic ailments including cancer. The molecular mechanism(s) by which chronic inflammation drives cancer initiation and promotion include increased production of pro-inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxy...
متن کاملGlutaminase: a multifaceted protein not only involved in generating glutamate.
The protein glutaminase has been traditionally considered as a mitochondrial enzyme, playing a key role in the energy and nitrogen metabolism of mammalian cells. However, new experimental evidence in the last few years has challenged this simplified view. The recent discovery of novel extramitochondrial localizations, the identification of potential protein interacting partners, the existence o...
