Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.

CD44ICD promotes breast cancer stemness via PFKFB4-mediated glucose metabolism. [PDF]

, 2018
CD44 is a single-pass cell surface glycoprotein that is distinguished as the first molecule used to identify cancer stem cells in solid tumors based on its expression.

CD44 promotes PD-L1 expression and its tumor-intrinsic function in breast and lung cancers.

Cancer Research, 2019
The PD-L1 (CD274) immune checkpoint ligand is often upregulated in cancers to inhibit T cells and elicit immunosuppression. Independent of this activity, PD-L1 has been recently shown to also exert a cancer cell-intrinsic function promoting tumorigenesis.

Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...

CD44 expression in oral lichen planus and related lesions—An immunohistochemical study

Indian Dermatology Online Journal, 2023
Background: Cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) is a cell surface adhesion protein involved in the progression and metastasis of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

The liberation of CD44 [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2003
CD44 was once thought to simply be a transmembrane adhesion molecule that also played a role in the metabolism of its principal ligand hyaluronan. Investigations of CD44 over the past ∼20 yr have established additional functions for CD44, including its capacity to mediate inflammatory cell function and tumor growth and metastasis.

Reduced vascular leakage correlates with breast carcinoma T regulatory cell infiltration but not with metastatic propensity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
A mouse model for vascular normalization and a human breast cancer cohort were studied to understand the relationship between vascular leakage and tumor immune suppression. For this, endothelial and immune cell RNAseq, staining for vascular function, and immune cell profiling were employed.

Cytoplasmic p21 promotes stemness of colon cancer cells via activation of the NFκB pathway

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Cytoplasmic p21 promotes colorectal cancer stem cell (CSC) features by destabilizing the NFκB–IκB complex, activating NFκB signaling, and upregulating BCL‐xL and COX2. In contrast to nuclear p21, cytoplasmic p21 enhances spheroid formation and stemness transcription factor CD133.

CD44 Orchestrates Metastatic Teamwork [PDF]

Developmental Cell, 2018
Inhibition of metastatic cancer cell colonization and outgrowth is arguably one of the greatest therapeutic challenges. Reporting in Cancer Discovery, Liu et al. (2018) describe how homophilic interactions of CD44, a classical breast cancer stem cell marker, drive tumor cell aggregation outside the primary tumor to augment their metastatic potential.

Phenotypic and functional characterization of corneal endothelial cells during in vitro expansion. [PDF]

, 2020
The advent of cell culture-based methods for the establishment and expansion of human corneal endothelial cells (CEnC) has provided a source of transplantable corneal endothelium, with a significant potential to challenge the one donor-one recipient ...
