Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
18214619 We believe that CD44s-mediated adhesion of malignant cells to other cells or to the extracellular matrix is responsible for the invasive features of biliary tract neoplasms, its aggressive progression, and its resistance to treatment.
18092951 Significance of CD44 expression in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and explanaion for results on the relationship between CD44 expression and the biological behaviour of urothelial cells.
18094716 The CD44 gene is silenced in NB4 acute promyelocytic leukemia cells by DNA methylation of a CpG island & underacetylation of histone H3 at the promoter. Brahma protein & phosphorylated RNA Pol II interact with the promoter region of CD44.
16415175 Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)
18162778 staining for TCL1, CD38, and CD44 are useful ancillary tests to identify B-cell tumors
18193058 These findings establish that the HCELL glycoform of CD44 confers tropism to bone and unveil a readily translatable roadmap for programming cellular trafficking by chemical engineering of glycans on a distinct membrane glycoprotein.
18199543 Hyaluronic acid synthase-1 expression regulates bladder cancer growth, invasion, and angiogenesis through CD44.
17945212 Results indicate that siRNA targeting a discrete sequence of human CD44 may provide a potential therapeutic option for colon cancer.
17945213 These findings indicate that the secretion of soluble CD44 contributes to colon cancer growth in vitro, possibly as a decoy receptor.
18155656 These are the first data to suggest a role for osteocytes and OPN in the recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells to aid in fracture repair.
