CD44
Family of cell surface glycoproteins with isoforms generated by alternate splicing of mRNA
Important in epithelial cell adhesion to hyaluronate in basement membranes and maintaining polar orientation of cells; also binds laminin, collagen and fibronectin
May help lymphomas disseminate by binding to high endothelial venules
Involved in leukocyte attachment and rolling on endothelial cells, homing to peripheral lymphoid organs and sites of inflammation and leukocyte aggregation
Uses: reactive urothelium has diffuse full thickness staining vs. carcinoma in situ, AJSP 2001;25:1074
Prognostic significance:
Colon carcinoma: overexpression of CD44v predicts an aggressive course
Endometrial carcinoma: loss of CD44 related to invasion
Lung carcinoma: loss of CD44 related to invasion
Lymphomas - diffuse large cell and B-CLL: expression associated with poor prognosis
Neuroblastoma: loss of CD44 related to invasion
Prostate cancer: loss associated with poor outcome
Urothelial neoplasms, papillary: loss of CD44 immunoreactivity (restricted to basal cell layer in normal urothelium) associated with increasing tumor grade and stage in pTa and pT1 patients, Mod Path 2000;13:1315
Positive staining (normal): white blood cells, red blood cells, breast, colon, stomach, uterus, most tissue; urothelial basal cells; reactive urothelium has diffuse full thickness staining (AJSP 2001;25:1074)
Positive staining (tumors): 80% of colorectal carcinomas; tumors or mucosa with well-developed squamous differentiation Archives 2000;124(2):212
Negative staining: platelets, hepatocytes, cardiac muscle, kidney tubular epithelium, testis, normal glandular type epithelium, well differentiated adenocarcinomas, urothelial carcinoma
Micro images: CD44s in colonic adenocarcinoma (figure B)
Micro images (AJSP subscribers): normal urothelium (figure 1D), reactive urothelium (figure 2D), reactive urothelium (figure 4D)
CD44h
Aka CD44s
Principal receptor for hyaluronic acid
Theoretical utility in differentiating mesothelioma since it produces abundant hyaluronic acid, but not actually useful because CD44H is reactive in 1/3 to 1/2 of adenocarcinomas, Hum Path 2002;33:953
CD44r
May be involved in leukocyte attachment and rolling on endothelial cells, homing to peripheral lymphoid organs and to sites of inflammation
Heterogeneous group of CD44 variant isoforms expressed constitutively in epithelial cells and monocyte lineage cells; upregulated in activated leukocytes
