However, detailed determination of the frequency of osteogenic cells within this Sca-1- cell population remains yet to be determined. In addition, it is not clear that other cell surface markers can be used to further sub-fractionate this Sca-1-CD51+ osteogenic cell population and to define their developmental stages. In this report, both Sca-1-CD24med and Sca-1- CD24-/lo cells have been shown to be two small subsets of the Sca-1-CD51+ cell fraction. These two cell fractions show subtle difference in the expression level of osteogenic marker genes such as Osx and Opn, and in vitro proliferate rate. All these observations suggest that they may be at different developmental stages of osteogenesis.

Indeed, when injected into the residual fat pads of lipodystrophic mice, these CD24 positive cells reconstitute a normal white adipose tissue (WAT) depot. Unluckily, similar studies in humans are rare and incomplete. This is because it is impossible to obtain large numbers of primary CD24 positive human adipose stem cells (hASCs). This study shows that primary hASCs start to express the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored CD24 protein when cultured with a chemically defined medium supplemented with molecules that activate the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway. Therefore, this in vitro system may help understand the biology and role in adipogenesis of the CD24-positive hASCs.

  • Relationship of CD44 CD24 Breast Cancer Stem Cells and Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis
    Wei et al. Journal of Translational Medicine 2012, 10(Suppl 1):S6 http://www.translational-medicine.com/content/10/S1/S6 PROCEEDINGS Open Access Relationship of CD44+CD24-/low breast cancer stem cells and axillary lymph node metastasis Wei Wei1*, Hui Hu1, Haosheng Tan1, Louis WC Chow2, Adrian YS Yip2, Wings TY Loo2 From Organisation for Oncology and Translational Research (OOTR) 7th Annual Conference Hong Kong. 13-14 May 2011 Abstract Background: Axillary node staging plays an important role in the prognostic evaluation and planning of adjuvant treatment. Breast cancer stem cells, identified on the basis of CD44+CD24-/low expression, are associated with metastases and drug resistance. It is therefore important to investigate the proportion of CD44+CD24-/low breast cancer stem cells for the diagnosis of metastases in axillary nodes. Methods: Thirty-two ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes were collected from patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. Each lymph node (LN) was divided into two equals – one was examined by H&E staining, while the other was made into a single cell suspension to study the content of CD44+CD24-/low cells by flow cytometry (FCM). The relationship was investigated between the content of CD44+CD24-/low cells and metastases in axillary nodes which were confirmed by histology. Associations were tested using the chi-square test (linear-by-linear association), and the significance level was set at a value of p < 0.05. Results: In the 32 axillary nodes, the level of CD44+CD24-/low cells was determined to be between 0 and 18.4%: there was no presence of CD44+CD24-/low cells in 9 LNs, of which 2 had confirmed metastasis; there were less than 10% CD44+CD24-/low cells in 12 LNs, of which 6 had confirmed metastasis; and there were more than 10% CD44+CD24-/ low cells in 11 LNs, of which 9 had confirmed metastasis.

  • CD24 Is a Novel Predictor for Poor Prognosis of Hepatocellular
    Published OnlineFirst August 25, 2009; DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-09-0151 Published Online First on August 25, 2009 as 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-09-0151 Imaging, Diagnosis, Prognosis CD24 Is a Novel Predictor for Poor Prognosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma after Surgery Xin-Rong Yang,1 Yang Xu,1 Bin Yu,2 Jian Zhou,1 Jia-Chu Li,3 Shuang-Jian Qiu,1 Ying-Hong Shi,1 Xiao-Ying Wang,1 Zhi Dai,1 Guo-Ming Shi,1 Bin Wu,1 Li-Ming Wu,1 Guo-Huan Yang,1 Bo-Heng Zhang,1 Wen-Xin Qin,2 and Jia Fan1,4 Abstract Purpose: To investigate the role of CD24 in tumor invasion and prognostic significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Experimental Design: CD24 expression was measured in stepwise metastatic HCC cell lines, tumor, peritumoral tissues, and normal liver tissues by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot. The role of CD24 in HCC was investigated by CD24 depletion using small interfering RNA. Tumor tissue microarrays of 314 HCC patients who underwent resection between 1997 and 2000 were used to detect expression of CD24, β-catenin, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Prognostic significance was assessed using Kaplan-Meier survival estimates and log-rank tests. Results: CD24 was overexpressed in the highly metastatic HCC cell line and in tumor tissues of patients with recurrent HCC. Depletion of CD24 caused a notable decrease in cell proliferation, migration, and invasiveness in vitro. Univariate and multivariate anal- yses revealed that CD24 was a significant predictor for overall survival and relapse-free survival. CD24 expression was correlated with poor prognosis independent of α-feto- protein, tumor-node-metastasis stage, and Edmondson stage.

  • Immune Clearance of Senescent Cells to Combat Ageing and Chronic Diseases
    cells Review Immune Clearance of Senescent Cells to Combat Ageing and Chronic Diseases Ping Song * , Junqing An and Ming-Hui Zou Center for Molecular and Translational Medicine, Georgia State University, 157 Decatur Street SE, Atlanta, GA 30303, USA; [email protected] (J.A.); [email protected] (M.-H.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-404-413-6636 Received: 29 January 2020; Accepted: 5 March 2020; Published: 10 March 2020 Abstract: Senescent cells are generally characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest, metabolic alteration and activation, and apoptotic resistance in multiple organs due to various stressors. Excessive accumulation of senescent cells in numerous tissues leads to multiple chronic diseases, tissue dysfunction, age-related diseases and organ ageing. Immune cells can remove senescent cells. Immunaging or impaired innate and adaptive immune responses by senescent cells result in persistent accumulation of various senescent cells. Although senolytics—drugs that selectively remove senescent cells by inducing their apoptosis—are recent hot topics and are making significant research progress, senescence immunotherapies using immune cell-mediated clearance of senescent cells are emerging and promising strategies to fight ageing and multiple chronic diseases. This short review provides an overview of the research progress to date concerning senescent cell-caused chronic diseases and tissue ageing, as well as the regulation of senescence by small-molecule drugs in clinical trials and different roles and regulation of immune cells in the elimination of senescent cells. Mounting evidence indicates that immunotherapy targeting senescent cells combats ageing and chronic diseases and subsequently extends the healthy lifespan.

  • Hoxa5, a Cell Fate Transition Regulator, Impedes Tumor Initiation and Progression in Breast Cancer
    HOXA5, A CELL FATE TRANSITION REGULATOR, IMPEDES TUMOR INITIATION AND PROGRESSION IN BREAST CANCER by Wei Wen Teo A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland November, 2015 ©2015 Wei Wen Teo All Rights Reserved Abstract This thesis focuses on understanding the biological functions of HOXA5 in mammary epithelial differentiation and breast cancer progression. Members of HOX cluster have long been associated with cellular differentiation. Nonetheless, how HOX genes drive differentiation in mammalian cells is poorly understood. The expression of HOXA5 is frequently deregulated in breast cancer, while higher HOXA5 expression predicts better relapse free survival in breast cancer patients. My research has demonstrated that depleting HOXA5, a key regulator during embryogenesis, increases cell plasticity and stemness in the human breast epithelial cell line, MCF10A. Comparison of MCF10A cells and HOXA5-depleted MCF10A cells by expression array analysis revealed HOXA5’s ability to regulate several traits of epithelial lineage, including E-cadherin and CD24. Analysis of the expression array by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) confirmed the negative correlation between epithelial traits and the transcriptome of HOXA5-depleted MCF10A cells. Using an inducible HOXA5- knockdown system, we demonstrated how HOXA5 depletion restrained state transition from CD24-/CD44+ to CD24+/CD44+ cells upon treatment of retinal. The increase of expression of adhesions proteins was, however, impeded when HOXA5 was simultaneously repressed. Failure of state transition upon depletion of HOXA5 resulted in increased ability for mammosphere formation. Furthermore, depleting HOXA5 in MCF10A-KRAS transformed cells reduced CD24+/CD44lo population and enhanced the ii self-renewal capacity of MCF10A-KRAS cells in culture.

  • Molecular and Clinical Dissection of CD24 Antibody Specificity by A
    Laboratory Investigation (2010) 90, 1102–1116 & 2010 USCAP, Inc All rights reserved 0023-6837/10 $32.00 Molecular and clinical dissection of CD24 antibody specificity by a comprehensive comparative analysis Glen Kristiansen1,6, Eda Machado2,6, Niko Bretz3, Christian Rupp3, Klaus-Ju¨rgen Winzer4, Anne-Kathleen Ko¨nig3, Gerhard Moldenhauer3, Frederik Marme´5, Julia Costa2 and Peter Altevogt3 CD24 is a small, highly glycosylated cell surface protein that is linked to the membrane through a glycosyl-phosphati- dylinositol anchor. It is overexpressed in many human carcinomas and its expression is linked to bad prognosis. Lately, lack or low expression of CD24 was used to identify tumor stem cells resulting in conflicting data on the usefulness of this marker. In many immunohistochemical studies, the mAb SN3b was used but the epitope and specificity of this antibody have never been thoroughly investigated. In other studies based mainly on cytofluorographic analysis, the mAb ML-5 was applied. In this study, we compared the epitope of mAb SN3b to the CD24 mAbs SWA-11 and ML-5 that both bind to the core protein of CD24. Using tissue microarrays and affinity-purified CD24 glycoforms, we observed only a partial overlap of SN3b and SWA11 reactivity. The mAb SN3b recognizes sialic acid most likely on O-linked glycans that can occur independently of the CD24 protein backbone. The SN3b epitope was not related to common sialylated cancer-associated glycan structures. Both SN3b epitope positive or negative CD24 glycoforms supported the binding of P-selectin and Siglec-5. In breast cancer, the SN3b reactivity was associated with bad prognosis, whereas SWA11 was not.

The application of fluorescence image-guided surgery (FIGS) allows for the increased intraoperative visualization and delineation of malignant lesions by using fluorescently labeled targeting biomarkers, thereby improving intraoperative guidance. CD24, a small glycophosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface receptor, is overexpressed in approximately 70% of solid cancers, and has been proposed as a prognostic and therapeutic tumor-specific biomarker for EOC. Recently, preclinical studies have demonstrated the benefit of CD24-targeted contrast agents for non-invasive fluorescence imaging, as well as improved tumor resection by employing CD24-targeted FIGS in orthotopic patient-derived xenograft models of EOC. The successful detection of miniscule metastases denotes CD24 as a promising biomarker for the application of fluorescence-guided surgery in EOC patients.

    Journal of Personalized Medicine Review CD24 for Cardiovascular Researchers: A Key Molecule in Cardiac Immunology, Marker of Stem Cells and Target for Drug Development Eyal Sagiv * and Michael A. Portman Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Seattle Children’s Hospital and the University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA 98105, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-206-987-6916; Fax: +1-206-987-3839 Abstract: The study of the membrane protein, CD24, and its emerging role in major disease processes, has made a huge leap forward in the past two decades. It appears to have various key roles in oncogenesis, tumor progression and metastasis, stem cell maintenance and immune modulation. First described in the 1980s as the homologous human protein to the mouse HSA (Heat Stable Anti- gen), it was reported as a surface marker in developing hematopoietic cell lines. The later discovery of its overexpression in a large number of human neoplasms, lead cancer researchers to discover its various active roles in critical checkpoints during cancer development and progression. Targeting CD24 in directed drug development showed promising results in cancer treatment. More recently, the chimeric CD24-Fc protein has shown exciting results in clinical trials as a specific modulator of auto-inflammatory syndromes. This report is aimed to summarize the relevant literature on CD24 and tie it together with recent advancements in cardiovascular research. We hypothesize that CD24 is a promising focus of research in the understanding of cardiovascular disease processes and the Citation: Sagiv, E.; Portman, M.A. development of novel biological therapies.

The activation of T lymphocyte requires two signals from antigen presenting cells, peptide and self-MHC complex to TCR and co stimulatory signals. CD24, a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) arched glycoprotein, is an important co-stimulatory molecule. Although it is not essential for induction of T cell response, CD24 is required to express on T cells and for the induction of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, we show that CD24 is essential for local clonal expansion and persistence of T cells after their migration into the CNS, and that expression of CD24 on either hematopoietic cells or non-hematopoietic antigen-presenting cells in the recipient is sufficient to confer susceptibility to EAE. At the same time, it is well established that T lymphocytes undergo homeostatic proliferation in lymphopenic environment. The homeostatic proliferation requires recognition of major histocompatibility complex on the host. Recent studies have demonstrated that co-stimulation, mediated by CD28, 4-1BB, and CD40, is not required for T cell homeostatic proliferation.
