Unveiling CD177: a key player in tumors, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory disorders. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
In light of these findings, we present a comprehensive review of recent literature concerning the role of CD177 in tumors, inflammatory processes, and autoimmune diseases, with a particular focus on its mediating effects on neutrophil recruitment, transepithelial migration, and the activation of CD177-positive neutrophils, along with the functional implications of CD177 expression beyond neutrophils. A deeper understanding of CD177 may pave the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies and the assessment of disease prognosis.
