CD44 — a sticky target for asthma [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2003
One of the paradoxes of modern medicine is the rapidly growing incidence of immune-based diseases over the last half of the century (1). Despite enormous advances in our understanding of the immune system, and our ability to manipulate immunity in experimental animals and man, we have not been able to curtail these diseases.

Engineered Exosomal miR‐146a‐5p Reprograms BMSC Fate and Restores Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Glucocorticoid‐Induced Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Exosomal miR‐146a‐5p is identified as a pivotal regulator in steroid‐induced osteonecrosis. Its reduction activates NF‐κB signaling, compromises mitophagy, and disrupts mitochondrial bioenergetics, resulting in autophagic disequilibrium. Engineered exosomes delivering miR‐146a‐5p reinstate mitochondrial function, augment oxidative phosphorylation and ...

KRT14 Drives Basal Muscle‐Invasive Bladder Cancer Progression and Lung Metastasis by Directly Binding to and Stabilizing IGF2BP1

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We identified a Krt14+ Igf2bp1+ bladder cancer population linked to EMT. Mechanistically, KRT14 stabilizes and transports IGF2BP1 to invasive protrusions, initiating a positive feedback loop that drives metastasis and poor outcomes. ABSTRACT Basal‐type muscle‐invasive bladder cancer (BMIBC) is characterized by aggressive metastasis and poor prognosis ...

Comparison of E- cadherin and CD44 Marker Expression in Oral Lichen Planus, Oral Leukoplakia, and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Majallah-i Dānishgāh-i ’Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Īlām, 2022
Introduction: The role of E-cadherin and CD44 has been proven in the development and progression of cancerous and precancerous lesions. It seems that these two markers have a high ability to evaluate the premalignancy of lichen planus lesions and oral ...

CD44 in Bladder Cancer

Cancers
The glycoprotein CD44, with its many isoforms and variations in carbohydrate patterning, participates in a diverse set of cellular functions. This fact leads to the protein playing a role in many normal and pathologic cellular processes including a role in cancer progression and metastasis. These same facts make CD44 a strong therapeutic target in many

Lesion Site‐Targeted Microspheres Modulate Nav1.7‐Related Signaling for Osteoarthritis Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cartilage‐targeted carbamazepine‐loaded WYRGRL‐modified composite microspheres (CBZ/WCOM) anchor to exposed type II collagen in osteoarthritic lesions and release carbamazepine under acidic conditions. This bind‐then‐release platform modulates Nav1.7‐related sodium signaling, Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger‐associated Ca2+ dynamics, and heat shock protein 70 ...

CD44 and Its Role in Solid Cancers – A Review: From Tumor Progression to Prognosis and Targeted Therapy

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) is a transmembrane protein expressed in normal cells but overexpressed in several types of cancer. CD44 plays a major role in tumor progression, both locally and systemically, by direct interaction with the ...

Toward Nano‐Nutritional Medicine: A Remotely Activated Trans‐Vaccenic Acid‐Based Lipid Nanoparticles for Enhancing Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Eutectic mixtures from trans‐vaccenic acid (TVA) and stearic acid, which served as phase‐change material to encapsulate IR780, forming NIR‐responsive nanoparticles. IR780@TVA LNPs induce photothermal therapy and initiate adaptive anti‐tumor immunity.

CCL3 and IL‐7 Synergistically Enhance CAR‐T Efficacy in Solid Tumors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Synergistic delivery of CCL3 and IL‐7 by CAR‐T cells overcomes the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by enhancing cell infiltration, survival, and local immune reprogramming. This also establishes positive feedback that amplifies anti‐tumor activity and memory responses in both CAR‐T and endogenous T cells, presenting a robust therapeutic ...
