CD24 overexpression

Finally, IL21-AS1 increased CD24 expression in OC and facilitated OC progression. Our findings provide a molecular basis for the regulation of CD24, thus highlighting a potential strategy for targeted treatment of OC.

Consequently, we show that bestatin, a clinically advanced aminopeptidase inhibitor, binds to GPAA1 and blocks GPI attachment, resulting in reduced CD24 cell surface expression, increased macrophage-mediated phagocytosis, and suppressed growth of ovarian tumors. Our study highlights the potential of targeting GPAA1 as an immunotherapeutic approach for CD24+ ovarian cancers.

Our results showed that CD24 expression may induce a cellular quiescence-like state and resistance to platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents in ovarian cancer via miR-130a and 301a upregulation. CD24-miR-130a/301a-CDK19 signaling axis could be a prognostic marker for or a potential therapeutic target against ovarian cancer recurrence.

CD24 is a possible uprising marker for tumor identification, overexpressed in PBLs and is intensely stained in tumor tissue and pre-malignant lesions. Tumor-PBLs should be further studied.

And, CD24 or MET knockdown or miR-181a overexpression inhibited the manifestation of CSC phenotypes, cellular quiescence-like state and chemoresistance, in OV90 and SK-OV-3 cells: increased colony formation, decreased G0/G1 phase cell population and increased sensitivity to Cisplatin and Carboplatin. Our findings suggest that CD24-miR-181a-MET may consist of a signalling route for ovarian CSCs, therefore being a combinatory set of markers and therapeutic targets for ovarian CSCs.

CD24 and CD200 are overexpressed across diverse cancer types and serve as signaling checkpoints by engaging their respective receptors, Siglec-10 and CD200 receptor, which are expressed on tumor-associated myeloid cells. In this review, we summarized and discussed the latest advancements and insights into CD24 and CD200 as emergent immune checkpoint moieties, further delving into their therapeutic potentials for cancer treatment.

Conclusions In preclinical studies, ATG-031 demonstrates potent antitumor activity, excellent safety and PK properties, which supports its further development in clinical trials. A phase I, multicentre, dose-escalating clinical trial is being developed to evaluate ATG-031 in patients with solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.

CHOP and PERK overexpression promoted hypoxia-induced apoptosis of CD44CD24 cells (P<0.05), whereas mitochondrial membrane permeability inhibitors inhibited hypoxia-induced apoptosis of CD44CD24 cells overexpressed CHOP gene. CD44CD24 tumor stem cells in EC resist to hypoxia-induced apoptosis by the inhibition of ERS-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis pathway, which suggested that ERS pathway can serve as a potential target for reducing EC treatment resistance in clinical treatment.

Our findings have important implications in future practice, overexpression of CD24 in OSCC was associated with poor prognosis correlating to the clinical findings, large-scale comprehensive studies are needed further to confirm our findings. In addition to histological features, CD24 can be used as marker for OSCC.

Chemoresistant CD24/CD44GFP-ZEB1 cells depicted 1000-fold higher IC-50 values of doxorubicin and decreased activation of JNK-p38 stress kinase molecular signaling-dependent mammosphere forming efficiency to evade apoptosis. Thus, ZEB1 and its downstream effectors are plausible therapeutic targets for the mitigation of breast cancer chemoresistance in patients.

Upon triggering immunogenicity with X-ray radiation, our hydrogel encapsulating efferocytosis inhibitor MRX-2843 enabled a cascade regulation to orchestrate polarization, efferocytosis, and phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophages for realizing robust phagocytosis of tumor cells and powerful antigen presentation, offering a potent approach for ovarian cancer therapy via bridging the innate effector function of macrophages with their adaptive immune response. Moreover, our hydrogel is also applicable for potent treatment of inherent CD24-overexpressed triple-negative breast cancer, providing an emerging therapeutic regimen for the most lethal malignancies in women.
