CD44 and hematologic malignancies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The expression of CD44 was upregulated in some hematological malignancies and is associated with metastasis and prognosis. The ligation of CD44 with specific monoclonal antibodies can trigger terminal differentiation of leukemic blasts in some subtypes, so it is probable to develop an anti-CD44 based differentiation therapy in leukemia. The effects of CD44 and its monoclonal antibodies are discussed in this review.

The Role of CD44 in the Pathophysiology of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
CD44 interactions with hyaluronan (HA) play a key role in various malignancies, supporting tumor cell migration, adhesion, and survival. In contrast to solid tumors, the expression of CD44 standard and variant forms and their functional interplay with HA is less understood in hematological malignancies. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a highly abundant B-cell malignancy with a well coordi...

Immunotherapy with genetically engineered T-cells that express the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has raised hopes for the treatment of pediatric malignancies. Although CAR T-cell development is on a fast-moving pace and evolution, the context of exploring novel targetable antigens has been neglected. In this review study, we analyze the prominent hematologic antigens targeted by engineered T-...

متن کاملColon cancer stem cells: implications in carcinogenesis.
The cancer stem cell model was described for hematologic malignancies in 1997 and since then evidence has emerged to support it for many solid tumors as well, including colon cancer. This model proposes that certain cells within the tumor mass are pluripotent and capable of self-renewal and have an enhanced ability to initiate distant metastasis. The cancer stem cell model has important implica...
