CD24 (also called Heat Stable Antigen or nectadrin) is expressed on many cell types (Fang et al., 2010), and its expression is dynamically regulated during cellular differentiation (Ayre et al., 2016). CD24 was first described for its role in blocking B lymphocyte (B cell) development. Transgenic mice overexpressing CD24 and CD24 knockout mice exhibit a loss of immature B cells via their increa...

aim : we aimed to study the expression of cd24 and cd133 in colorectal cancer and normal adjacent tissues to assess a relationship between these markers and clinic-pathological characteristics and patient’s survival. background : cancer stem cells are a group of tumor cells that have regeneration and multi-order differentiation capabilities. patients and methods : expression of cd24 and cd133 w...

Metastasis is lethal in most bladder cancer patients. Expression of CD24, a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked sialoglycoprotein and cancer stem cell marker, is associated with metastatic progression in multiple cancer types, yet the role of CD24 in this process remains unclear. While developing a murine model of human metastatic bladder cancer, we observed that tumor cell CD24 expressi...

background : cancer stem cells are a subgroup of tumor cells that have the capability for self-renewal and differentiation and are characterized by multiple markers. several studies have been conducted to identify these cells in colorectal cancer, including stem cell marker cd24. this study has evaluatedtheassociation of cd24 expression with clinicopathologic features and survival in an immunoh...

BACKGROUND N-Myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2), as a tumor suppressor, has been demonstrated to inhibit tumor invasion and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by reducing the expression of CD24, which has been identified as a prognostic factor for HCC patients. However, the clinical significance of combined NDRG2 and CD24 expression in HCC remains unclear. Thus, the aim of the cur...

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) or cancer stem cell-like cells (CSC-LCs) are a minority population of cells that relate to tumor progression, metastasis and drug resistance. To identify CSC-LCs in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), we used two OSCC cell lines, SAS and OSC20, and cell surface markers, CD44v3 and CD24. In addition, we examined CD44v3 and CD24 expression immunohistochemically and evalu...

Negative selection plays a key role in the clonal deletion of autoreactive T cells in the thymus. However, negative selection is incomplete; as high numbers of autoreactive T cells can be detected in normal individuals, mechanisms that regulate negative selection must exist. In this regard, we previously reported that CD24, a GPI-anchored glycoprotein, is required for thymic generation of autor...

The glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein CD24 functions as an adhesion molecule for P-selectin and L1 and plays a role in B-cell development and neurogenesis. Over the last few years, a large body of literature has also implicated CD24 expression in tumorigenesis and progression. Here, we show that ectopic CD24 expression can be sufficient to promote tumor metastasis in experi...
