Here we review the achievements of the HLDA Workshops and provide links to information on CD molecules and antibodies against them, including the 93 new CDs assigned in the 8^th Workshop. We consider what remains to be achieved (including an estimate of the number of leucocyte surface molecules still to be discovered), and how the field can best move forward.展开更多

The expres- sion of CD24 was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting in ovarian cancer cells with high metas- tatic potential (HO-8910PM cells) and low metastatic potential (A2780 cells). Cell viability and cell proliferation were detected by MTT assay in suspension culture and adhesion culture. Soft agar cul- ture was used to observe the colony formation. Anoikis was flow cytometrically detected. The results showed that the expression levels of CD24 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in HO-8910PM cells than in A2780 cells (P〈0.01). In the suspension culture and soft agar culture, the HO-8910PM cells formed larger and more colonies (35.334-5.51 vs. 16.674-4.04; P〈0.01), and showed a stronger resistance to anoikis than A2780 cells did (cell apoptosis rate: 5.93%4-2.38% vs. 16.32%-4-2.00%; P〈0.01). After treated with CD24 monoclonal antibodies, the number of colony formed in HO-8910PM and A2780 cells was significantly decreased (9.334-2.52 and 8.004-2.00, re- spectively), and the anoikis rate of the two cell lines was also markedly increased (23.11%4-2.87% and 28.36%~2.29%, respectively). Our study suggested that CD24 may play an important role in the development of anoikis resistance and CD24 can be used as a new therapeutic target to induce anoikis and inhibit metastasis in ovarian cancer.展开更多

CD24, CD44, ALDH1 and EZH2 are commonly used as stem-cell markers that display differential expression as a function of stage and molecular type, but their pattern of expression according to this rare histological type remains poorly defined and unknown for EZH2. We assessed expression of these markers in a series of 28 micropapillary breast carcinomas and compared the results with those obtained in a series of luminal A (27 cases) and B (34 cases) invasive carcinomas not otherwise specified (IC-NST). CD24 and CD44 were expressed in most cases. However, CD24 was expressed at the inverted apical membrane in 85% of invasive micropapillary carcinoma and at the apical pole of gland-forming cells in 45% of luminal A (p-val = 6.8 × 10-4) and 13% of luminal B cases (p-val = 1.1 × 10-7). ALDH1 was expressed in the stroma in most tumors, but in only 25%, 11% and 15% in epithelial cells of IMPC, luminal A and B IC-NST, respectively. Nuclear expression of EZH2 was not observed in luminal A tumors, and was detected in 35% (12/34) of luminal B carcinomas (p-val = 6.1 × 10-3) and only 4% (1/28) of invasive micropapillary carcinomas. This series shows that invasive micropapillary carcinomas harbor a CD24-positive inverted apical pole associated with weak EZH2 expression, phenotypical characteristics that distinguish this entity from other luminal carcinomas.展开更多

The search terms "CD24", "inflammatory bowel disease", "Crohn's disease", "Ulcerative colitis","IBD", "CD" or "UC"; and "polymorphism", "mutation"or "variant" were used. Association studies were limited to the English language, but no limitations in terms of race, ethnicity or geographic area were employed.Stata SE12 software was used to calculate the pooled odds ratios(ORs) with 95% confidence intervals(CIs).P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The information was independently extracted from each eligible study by two investigators. Two common polymorphisms, C170T(rs8734) and TG1527del(rs3838646), in the CD24 gene were assessed.RESULTS: A total of three case-control studies including 2342 IBD patients and 1965 healthy controls were involved in this meta-analysis. The patients and controls were from Caucasian cohorts. The three articles included in this meta-analysis all conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. This meta-analysis revealed that there were no significant associations between the two CD24 polymorphisms and the risk for IBD(all P > 0.05). However, in a disease subgroup analysis, we found that the CD24 C170 T polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of UC in a dominant model(OR = 1.79, 95%CI: 1.15-2.77, P =0.009) and an additive model(OR = 1.87, 95%CI:1.19-2.93, P = 0.007), but this relationship was not present for CD. The CD24 TG1570 del polymorphism was significantly associated with CD in the additive model(OR = 1.24, 95%CI: 1.01-1.52, P = 0.037).CONCLUSION: Our findings provide evidence that the CD24 C170 T polymorphism might contribute to the susceptibility to UC, and the CD24 TG1527 del polymorphism might be associated with the risk of CD.展开更多

In breast cancer, tumor cells are characterized by CD44+, CD24-/low and ALDH 1 expression represents a subpopulation of BCSC (breast cancer stem cell). Several three-dimensional (3D) in vitro culturing cancer cells have been used to stimulate BCSC phenotype. The present study aimed to evaluate 3D cell culture in alginate matrix and the CD44, CD24 and ALDH1 mRNA levels of BCSC markers. The 3D culture was performed using MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line on alginate matrix 1.2% in RPMI medium. Expression of BCSC markers was evaluated by Real Time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) comparing 3D to 2D culture. The 3D cultures increase of CD44 and CD24 mRNA levels and induce ALDH1 expression comparing to 2D culture. The data suggest that 3D alginate matrix alters the mRNA levels of genes involved in the phenotypic characteristics of BCSC.展开更多

The differences in CD24 and CD2β molecule expression in adjacent tissues and cervical cancer tissues were compared, and the correlation of CD24 and CD2β molecule expression in cervical cancer tissues with proliferation and apoptosis gene expression was further determined.Results: CD24 expression in cervical cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues whereas CD2β expression was lower than that in adjacent tissues. Proliferation genes GBP1 and eIF4E3 mRNA expression in high CD24 expression group were lower than those in low CD24 expression group whereas SCD-1, TLR4 and HERC4 mRNA expression were higher than those in low CD24 expression group;apoptosis genes OPCML, DAPK and TSLC1 mRNA expression were lower than those in low CD24 expression group whereas GRIM-19 mRNA was higher than that in low CD24 expression group. Proliferation genes GBP1 and eIF4E3 mRNA expression in high CD2β expression group were higher than those in low CD2β expression group whereas SCD-1, TLR4 and HERC4 mRNA expression were lower than those in low CD2β expression group;apoptosis genes OPCML, DAPK and TSLC1 mRNA expression were higher than those in low CD2β expression group whereas GRIM-19 mRNA was lower than that in low CD2β expression group.Conclusion: CD24 molecule expression abnormally increases whereas CD2β molecule expression abnormally decreases in cervical cancer tissues, and the specific expression levels can be used to evaluate cervical cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis, indirectly reflect the tumor condition and are expected to become the reference for long-term therapy development.展开更多

In this process a high rate of proliferation and apoptosis of tubular cells has been documented and interpreted as a futile attempt of tissue repair. In consideration of the role of stem cells in reparative processes we investigated the presence and localization of CD133 + CD24+ renal progenitors in renal ADPKD tissue and cells. Methods: Two normal kidneys and two ADPKD kidneys were examined. CD133 and CD24 expression was investigated by confocal microscopy and immunoblotting. Furthermore cystic isolated cells and cultured immortalized cells were characterized. Results: CD133 and CD24 have the same localization in ADPKD tissues and in normal kidneys: expression is restricted to a subset of epithelial cells (PEC) of Bowman’s capsule and to tubular cells in a focal and segmental pattern. Furthermore, in ADPKD tissue, cysts diffusely express CD133 and CD24. According to a quantitative analysis in ADPKD tissue CD133 + CD24 + cells are statistically more expressed in tubules (p < 0.001) and less expressed in the Bowman’s capsule (p = 0.0016) compared to the same localizations in control tissue. Conclusions: CD133 and CD24 antigens, typically expressed by renal epithelial progenitors, are more expressed in ADPKD tubules and highly expressed in ADPKD cysts. Whether CD133 and CD24 expression would signify renal progenitor recruitment or alternatively an expression pattern of the dedifferentiation of ADPKD cells remains unclear.展开更多
