CD44 is a ubiquitous leukocyte adhesion molecule involved in cell-cell interaction, cell adhesion, migration, homing and differentiation. CD44 can mediate the interaction between leukemic stem cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix, thereby inducing a cascade of signaling pathways to regulate their various behaviors. In this review, we focus on the impact of CD44s/CD44v as biomarkers in leukemia development and discuss the current research and prospects for CD44-related interventions in clinical application.
CD44 是一种普遍存在的白细胞黏附分子,参与细胞-细胞相互作用、细胞黏附、迁移、归巢和分化。CD44 可以介导白血病干细胞与周围细胞外基质的相互作用,从而诱导一系列信号通路调节其各种行为。本综述重点讨论了 CD44s/CD44v 作为白血病发生的标志物的影响,并探讨了 CD44 相关干预在临床应用中的研究现状和前景。
