A crucial role for CD44 in inflammation

Trends in Molecular Medicine
E Puré, C A Cuff

Abstract

Current therapies for chronic inflammatory diseases typically act through the nonspecific downregulation of immune cell activation. However, it is becoming increasingly evident that parenchymal cells are also active participants in the inflammatory process. Future prospects for the treatment of inflammation should therefore include the targeting of specific inflammatory pathways in both immune cells and parenchymal cells. CD44, a cell-adhesion molecule that is ubiquitously expressed on leukocytes and parenchymal cells, has been implicated, together with its ligand hyaluronan (HA), in several inflammatory diseases. The mechanisms of action of CD44-HA interactions in inflammation might provide potential targets for therapy.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
