Abstract

CD44 is a cell surface adhesion molecule, which is overexpressed on cancer stem cells. The interaction of CD44 with hyaluronan is responsible for tumor development, metastasis, and expression of the chemoresistant phenotype. The overexpression of CD44 impedes the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy medications in various cancers. Therefore, the high expression of CD44 is associated with a poor prognosis in affected patients. This high expression of CD44 in various cancers has provided an ample opportunity for the treatment of patients with chemoresistant malignancy. This review aims to demonstrate the various cross-talk between CD44 and intracellular and extracellular factors and highlight its role in developing chemoresistant tumors in some troublesome cancers.

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.
