Christian SL. CD24 as a Potential Therapeutic Target in Patients with B-Cell Leukemia and Lymphoma: Current Insights. Onco Targets Ther 2022; 15:1391-1402.

Abstract
CD24 is a highly glycosylated glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein that is expressed in many types of differentiating cells and some mature cells of the immune system as well as the central nervous system. CD24 has been extensively used as a biomarker for developing B cells as its expression levels change over the course of B cell development. Functionally, engagement of CD24 induces apoptosis in developing B cells and restricts cell growth in more mature cell types. Interestingly, CD24 is also expressed on many hematological and solid tumors. As such, it has been investigated as a therapeutic target in many solid tumors including ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic, lung and others. Most of the B-cell leukemias and lymphomas studied to date express CD24 but its role as a therapeutic target in these malignancies has, thus far, been understudied. Here, I review what is known about CD24 biology with a focus on B cell development and activation followed by a brief overview of how CD24 is being targeted in solid tumors. This is followed by an assessment of the value of CD24 as a therapeutic target in B cell leukemia and lymphoma in humans, including an evaluation of the challenges in using CD24 as a target considering its pattern of expression on normal cells.

Abstract
CD24, is a mucin-like GPI-anchored molecules. By immunohistochemistry, it is widely detected in many solid tumors, such as breast cancers, genital system cancers, digestive system cancers, neural system cancers and so on. The functional roles of CD24 are either fulfilled by combination with ligands or participate in signal transduction, which mediate the initiation and progression of neoplasms. However, the character of CD24 remains to be intriguing because there are still opposite voices about the impact of CD24 on tumors. In preclinical studies, CD24 target therapies, including monoclonal antibodies, target silencing by RNA interference and immunotherapy, have shown us brighten futures on the anti-tumor application. Nevertheless, evidences based on clinical studies are urgently needed. Here, with expectancy to spark new ideas, we summarize the relevant studies about CD24 from a tumor perspective.

Abstract
Glioma is a malignant tumor with the highest incidence among all brain tumors (about 46% of intracranial tumors) and is the most common primary intracranial tumor. Among them, glioblastoma (GBM) is highly malignant and is one of the three refractory tumors with the highest mortality rate in the world. The survival time from glioblastoma diagnosis to death is only 14–16 months for patients with standard treatment such as surgery plus radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Due to its high malignancy and poor prognosis, in‐depth studies have been conducted to explore effective therapeutic strategies for glioblastoma. In addition to the conventional surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, the glioblastoma treatments also include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and electric field treatment. However, current treatment methods provide limited benefits because of the heterogeneity of glioblastoma and the complexity of the immune microenvironment within a tumor. Therefore, seeking an effective treatment plan is imperative. In particular, developing an active immunotherapy for glioblastoma has become an essential objective in the field. This article reviews the feasibility of CD47/CD24 antibody treatment, either individually or in combination, to target the tumor stem cells and the antitumor immunity in glioblastoma. The potential mechanisms underlying the antitumor effects of CD47/CD24 antibodies are also discussed.

Abstract
CD24 is a highly glycosylated protein with a small protein core that is linked to the plasma membrane via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor. CD24 is primarily expressed by immune cells but is often overexpressed in human tumors. In cancer, CD24 is a regulator of cell migration, invasion and proliferation. Its expression is associated with poor prognosis and it is used as cancer stemness marker. Recently, CD24 on tumor cells was identified as a phagocytic inhibitor ("do not eat me" signal) having a suppressive role in tumor immunity via binding to Siglec-10 on macrophages. This finding is reminiscent of the demonstration that soluble CD24-Fc can dampen the immune system in autoimmune disease. In the present review, we summarize recent progress on the role of the CD24-Siglec-10 binding axis at the interface between tumor cells and the immune system, and the role of CD24 genetic polymorphisms in cancer. We describe the specific function of cytoplasmic CD24 and discuss the presence of CD24 on tumor-released extracellular vesicles. Finally, we evaluate the potential of CD24-based immunotherapy.

Abstract
Tumor immune escape is an important part of tumorigenesis and development. Tumor cells can develop a variety of immunosuppressive mechanisms to combat tumor immunity. Exploring tumor cells that escape immune surveillance through the molecular mechanism of related immunosuppression in-depth is helpful to develop the treatment strategies of targeted tumor immune escape. The latest studies show that CD24 on the surface of tumor cells interacts with Siglec-10 on the surface of immune cells to promote the immune escape of tumor cells. It is necessary to comment on the molecular mechanism of inhibiting the activation of immune cells through the interaction between CD24 on tumor cells and Siglec-10 on immune cells, and a treatment strategy of tumors through targeting CD24 on the surface of tumor cells or Siglec-10 on immune cells.

Abstract
The CD24 cell surface receptor promotes apoptosis in developing B cells, and we recently found that it induces B cells to release plasma membrane-derived, CD24-bearing microvesicles (MVs). Here we have performed a systematic characterization of B cell MVs released from WEHI-231 B lymphoma cells in response to CD24 stimulation. We found that B cells constitutively release MVs of approximately 120 nm, and that CD24 induces an increase in phosphatidylserine-positive MV release. RNA cargo is predominantly comprised of 5S rRNA, regardless of stimulation; however, CD24 causes a decrease in the incorporation of protein coding transcripts. The MV proteome is enriched with mitochondrial and metabolism-related proteins after CD24 stimulation; however, these changes were variable and could not be fully validated by Western blotting. CD24-bearing MVs carry Siglec-2, CD63, IgM, and, unexpectedly, Ter119, but not Siglec-G or MHC-II despite their presence on the cell surface. CD24 stimulation also induces changes in CD63 and IgM expression on MVs that is not mirrored by the changes in cell surface expression. Overall, the composition of these MVs suggests that they may be involved in releasing mitochondrial components in response to pro-apoptotic stress with changes to the surface receptors potentially altering the cell type(s) that interact with the MVs.

CD24 expression is a marker for predicting clinical outcome and regulates the epithelial-mesenchymal transition in ovarian cancer via both the Akt and ERK pathways. Oncol Rep 2017; 37:3189-3200.

Abstract
The degree of peritoneal dissemination and chemotherapy-resistant tumors is related to the prognosis in patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer. The epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT) is a multifaceted pathological program that endows cancer cells with the ability to invade and disseminate. CD24 is frequently overexpressed in various human cancers and is correlated with a poor prognosis. We herein examined the functions of CD24 in human ovarian cancer cell lines and evaluated how it contributes to the molecular mechanism underlying the regeneration of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) through the EMT mechanism in ovarian carcinoma. We demonstrated that CD24 was expressed in 70.1% of primary ovarian carcinoma tissues, which were obtained from 174 patients, and that the expression of CD24 was an independent predictor of survival in patients with ovarian cancer. The expression of CD24 has been found to be correlated with the FIGO stage, presence of peritoneal and lymph node metastasis. CD24 induces the EMT phenomenon, which is involved in cell invasion, the highly proliferative phenotype, colony formation and which is associated with cisplatin resistance and the properties of CSCs, via the activation of PI3K/Akt, NF-κB and ERK in Caov-3 cisplatin-resistant cell lines. CD24-positive ovarian carcinomas have been shown to have a greater potential for intra-abdominal tumor cell dissemination in in vivo models. Our findings suggest that CD24 induced the EMT phenomenon in ovarian cancer, and that CD24 amplified cell growth-related intracellular signaling via the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways by affecting the EMT signal pathways. We believe that CD24 is a key molecule of metastatic progression in the EMT phenomenon and a promising therapeutic target for advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
CD24, a small heavily glycosylated mucin-like glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface protein, plays an important role in the carcinogenesis of various human malignancies. However, its function in cervical cancer remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression of CD24 clinicopathologically and to analyze its functional behavior biologically in cervical cancer. A total of 117 uterine cervical cancer tumors were immunohistochemically analyzed using a CD24 monoclonal antibody on paraffin blocks. We also examined whether CD24 enhanced the invasive activity or the Akt, ERK, NF-κB and MMP activity in a uterine cervical cancer cell line (CaSki) by a western blot analysis. The patients with enhanced CD24 expression had a higher rate of advanced clinical stage (50 vs. 16.5%, p<0.01), lymph node metastasis (34.6 vs. 14.3%) and lymphovascular involvement (65.4 vs. 20.4%, p=0.01), and a poor overall and disease-free survival (5-year survival rate: 62 vs. 86%, p=0.03). CD24 overexpression in CaSki cells resulted in activation of Cell Signaling proteins, including Akt, ERK, NF-κB and MMP-9. An invasion assay showed that CD24 overexpression in CaSki cells led to increased invasion ability. The CD24 overexpression also increased mRNA expression of Slug but not Snail. Moreover, the CD24 overexpression also decreased expression of E-cadherin and increased N-cadherin protein levels. Increased expression of CD24 may be associated with tumor progression and prognosis in patients with uterine cervical cancer. CD24 expression may therefore be used not only as a prognostic marker in uterine cervical cancer, but also as a target for the development of new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most prevalent gynecologic cancer in the Western world, and the number of advanced chemotherapy-resistant cancers is increasing with the absolute increase in patients. The development of resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs by cancer cells represents a major challenge in the clinical cure of advanced and metastatic cancers. CD24 has been reported to be a marker for a poor prognosis in several tumors, and we herein examined the functions of CD24 in human endometrioid adenocarcinoma cell lines and evaluated how it contributes to cancer drug resistance. We demonstrated that CD24 was responsible for the recruitment of phosphorylated Met to the lipid raft domain of the cell membrane, resulting in amplification of the Met signaling cascade, ultimately leading endometrial cancer cells to express higher levels of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Our findings suggest that CD24-mediated amplification of the Met cascade may contribute to the drug resistance of endometrial cancer.

Abstract
The present study examined 66 cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), 20 cases of smooth muscle tumors, 20 cases of schwannomas and 20 cases of normal gastric tissues in order to analyze the expression of L1, cluster of differentiation (CD)24 and integrin β1 by immunohistochemical staining. Patients were subjected to follow-up, and survival data were evaluated. L1 expression was detected in 57.6% of GIST cases; this was a significantly higher percentage compared with that found in the smooth muscle tumor cases or the normal control group. CD24 and integrin β1 were also expressed at significantly higher levels in the GIST cases than in the normal control group, although no significant difference was found in the expression levels of these proteins in smooth muscle tumor or schwannoma cases. These higher levels of L1 and integrin β1 expression were associated with an increased risk of invasive GIST, and were significantly positively correlated with Ki-67 expression. CD24 expression was not associated with the risk of GIST invasion or Ki-67 expression. There were positive correlations between L1, CD24 and integrin β1 expression; however, these had no significant association with patient survival. Therefore, L1 alone or in conjunction with CD24 (L1 + CD24), or integrin β1 (L1 + integrin β1) can be considered a valuable indicator for the differential diagnosis of GIST. Furthermore, L1 and integrin β1 can be used alone or in combination to evaluate the biological behavior of GISTs. Future studies are required to evaluate the prognostic value of these markers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The CD24 gene has been correlated with poor prognosis of various malignancies. The significance of CD24 in esophageal cancer remains unknown. Our aim was to evaluate the association between CD24 genetic polymorphism and esophageal cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between June 2011 and May 2012 patients with esophageal cancer and healthy controls were prospectively enrolled and clinicopathological data were collected. Genomic DNA was extracted and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was performed to determine CD24 polymorphism at the coding region of CD24, which results in a substitution of the amino acid Ala by Val. Statistical significance was determined by unpaired t-test, χ²-test, and Fisher's exact test. RESULTS A total of 102 patients were included, of whom 51 had esophageal cancer and the rest comprised a healthy control group. The incidence of the polymorphism variant (Val/Val) among the healthy subjects and the esophageal cancer cohort was 6% in both groups. The incidence of N3 (metastasis in 7 or more regional lymph nodes) was markedly higher in those esophageal cancer patients who carried the polymorphism variant compared with those who did not carry it (66% and 2%, respectively, p=0.007). No significant difference was found between the groups with regard to age, gender, histology type, tumor location, tumor stage, and other histological characteristics of the tumor. CONCLUSIONS This CD24 polymorphism may serve as a novel prognostic marker identifying esophageal cancer patients with poor prognosis. Further studies are warranted to evaluate CD24 function and to validate its predictive potential with regard to esophageal cancer.

Abstract
Cluster of differentiation (CD)24 was originally described as a B lymphocyte marker and has recently received considerable attention in cancer research as its overexpression has been observed in several types of carcinoma. The CD24 molecule is a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-linked cell surface protein that appears to be associated with aggressive cancers involving invasion and metastasis. However, the expression of CD24 in human bladder cancer and its clinical significance remains largely unknown and no association has been reported between CD24 overexpression and human bladder tumor recurrence. In the present study, the CD24 expression in cancer tissues obtained during transurethral surgery and the subsequent intra-bladder tumor recurrence following surgery were assessed. Immunohistochemical staining was performed and the intensity of CD24 staining was semi-quantitatively evaluated. CD24 expression was observed more frequently in high-grade bladder tumors (G2–G3) than low-grade tumors (G1). Positive CD24 expression was significantly associated with intra-bladder tumor recurrence following surgery and increased staining intensity was also correlated with recurrence. The positive association between CD24 expression and tumor recurrence was observed in each tumor category (stages Ta and T1, low and high grade). The results demonstrated that CD24 expression is significantly associated with bladder tumor recurrence. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to reveal the significance of CD24 as a predictor of bladder cancer recurrence. These insights may lead to future therapeutic strategies targeting CD24 to prevent the dissemination of bladder cancer cells and tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Background and aim CD24 expression is associated with human colorectal cancer (CRC). Our previous data indicated that CD24 promoted the proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer cells through the activation of ERK1/2. Since Src family kinases are frequently deregulated in CRC and closely related to the MAPK signaling pathway, we investigated the impact of Lyn, an important member of SFKs, on CD24-induced ERK1/2 activation in CRC. Methods and Results The interaction of CD24 and Lyn was identified by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) and ectopic expression of CD24-induced Lyn activation. Inhibition of Lyn activation by phosphatase PP2 in SW480CD24cells abrogated CD24-induced invasion. The results of the Co-IP and immunofluorescence assay revealed that overexpression of CD24 enhanced the interaction of Lyn and ERK1/2 and induced the nuclear translocation of Lyn. However, inhibition of Lyn activity attenuated CD24-induced ERK1/2 activation, and depletion of CD24 disrupted Lyn-ERK1/2 interaction. Immunohistochemistry analysis for 202 cases of CRC showed that the expression of both CD24 and Lyn was positively correlated with tumor grade, stage, lymph node and distant metastasis. Patients with lower expression of CD24 or Lyn had a higher survival rate. The Cox multivariate analysis showed that CD24 expression, but not Lyn expression, was an independent prognostic factor of CRC. Conclusions Our results suggest that Lyn is involved in CD24-induced ERK1/2 activation in CRC. The expression of CD24 is associated with activation of Lyn and ERK1/2, which might be a novel mechanism related to CD24-mediated regulation of CRC development.

Abstract
Expression of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein CD24 correlates with a poor prognosis for many human cancers, and in experimental tumors can promote metastasis. However, the mechanism by which CD24 contributes to tumor progression remains unclear. Here we report that in MTLy breast cancer cells CD24 interacts with and augments the kinase activity of c-src, a protein strongly implicated in promoting invasion and metastasis. This occurs within and is dependent upon intact lipid rafts. CD24-augmented c-src kinase activity increased formation of focal adhesion complexes, accelerated phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin and consequently enhanced integrin-mediated adhesion. Loss and gain of function approaches showed that c-src activity is necessary and sufficient to mediate the effects of CD24 on integrin-dependent adhesion and cell spreading, as well as on invasion. Together these results indicate that c-src is a CD24-activated mediator that promotes integrin-mediated adhesion and invasion, and suggest a mechanism by which CD24 might contribute to tumor progression through stimulating the activity of c-src or another member of the Src family.

Abstract
Intestinal stem cells (ISCs) have been studied for more than three decades; however, their isolation has remained a challenge. We hypothesized that, just as for stem cells of other tissues, one or more membrane markers would allow positive selection of ISCs by antibody-based sorting. To explore this hypothesis, microarray data of putative ISC fractions generated by side population sorting and laser capture microdissection were subjected to bioinformatic analysis to identify common membrane antigens. The microarray comparison suggested CD24 as a candidate surface marker, and immunohistochemistry showed expression of CD24 in epithelial cells of crypt bases. Flow cytometry of jejunal epithelial preparations revealed a CD24(+) CD45(-) fraction comprising ∼1% of the cells. Analysis with epithelial cell adhesion molecule and CD31 confirmed that the cell preparations were epithelial and without endothelial contamination. Cycling cells identified by prior injection with 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine were found predominantly in the CD24(lo) subfraction. Transcript analysis by real-time RT-PCR showed this subfraction to be enriched in the ISC markers leucine-rich-repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (40-fold) and Bmi1 (5-fold), but also enriched in lysozyme (10-fold). Flow cytometry with anti-lysozyme antibodies demonstrated that Paneth cells comprise ∼30% of the CD24(lo) subfraction. Additional flow analyses with leucine-rich-repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5-enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) epithelium demonstrated colocalization of EGFP(hi) and CD24(lo). In contrast, CD24 cells were negative for the quiescent ISC marker doublecortin and CaM kinase-like-1. Culture of CD24(lo) cells in Matrigel generated organoid structures, which included all four epithelial lineages, thus giving functional evidence for the presence of ISCs. We conclude that the CD24(lo) fraction of jejunal epithelium is highly enriched with cycling ISCs. This isolation method should be useful to many investigators in the field to advance both the basic understanding of ISC biology and the therapeutic applications of ISCs.

Abstract
The inability to identify, isolate, and culture intestinal epithelial stem cells (IESCs) has been prohibitive to the study and therapeutic utilization of these cells. Using a Sox9(EGFP) mouse model, we demonstrate that Sox9(EGFP) fluorescence signatures can be used to differentiate between and enrich for progenitors (Sox9(EGFPsubLo)) and multipotent IESCs (Sox9(EGFPlo)). Sox9(EGFPlo) cells generate "organoids" in a recently defined culture system that mimics the native IESC niche. These organoids possess all four differentiated cell types of the small intestine epithelium, demonstrating the multipotent capacity of Sox9(EGFPlo) cells. Our results are consistent with the previously reported observation that single IESCs generate cryptlike units without a detectable mesenchymal cell component. A prospective search revealed that CD24 is expressed in the Sox9(EGFPlo) population and marks IESCs that form organoids in culture. CD24 represents the first cell surface marker that facilitates fluorescence-activated cell sorting enrichment of IESCs with widely available antibodies without requiring a specialized fluorescent reporter gene mouse model.

Abstract
As a testament to the importance of CD24, researchers with diverse interests, including adaptive immunity, inflammation, autoimmune diseases and cancer, have encountered CD24. CD24 is overexpressed in many cancers and appears oncogenic. In the adaptive immune response, CD24 is a redundant costimulatory molecule in costimulation-rich lymphoid organs but is essential in selected target organs tested, such as brain and skin. More recent studies suggest it may have a role in discriminating danger and pathogen-associated molecular patterns by dendritic cells. The biology of CD24 is intriguing but poorly understood. Here we summarize the major findings associated with CD24 to stimulate new ideas for further research that may reveal the underlying link among the diverse processes mediated by CD24.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The CD24 marker is expressed in various carcinomas and is associated with shorter survival rates. We evaluated the prognostic significance of CD24 protein overexpression in patients treated with post-operative radiotherapy (RT) after surgery, and its prognostic significance and specific role stratified by adjuvant treatment modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS We determined the CD24 expression status of 140 patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma treated with RT alone or with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) after radical hysterectomy procedures. RESULTS CD24 expression was detected in 59 patients (42%) and was significantly associated with locoregional failure-free survival (LRFFS) (p=0.0218), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) (p=0.0001), and overall survival (OS) (p=0.0053). In the multivariate analysis, CD24 positivity was also significantly associated with DMFS (p=0.025) and OS (p=0.045). CD24 expression stratified by post-operative treatments (CRT or RT alone) was associated with DMFS (p=0.0001) but not with LRFFS (p=0.4423) in the CRT group. However, CD24 expression was associated with LRFFS (p=0.0198) but not with DMFS (p=0.5269) in the RT alone group. CONCLUSIONS CD24 expression is an independent prognostic marker in patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma, even adjuvant treatment after surgery. And this study reveals different prognostic role of CD24 expression in two subgroups treated differently after surgery. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies targeting CD24 expression stratified by subgroups might have important clinical implications.

Abstract
The cell adhesion molecule CD24 is a highly glycosylated glycoprotein that plays important roles in the central nervous system, the immune system and in tumor biology. Since CD24 comprises only a short protein core of approximately 30 amino acids and low conservation among species, it has been proposed that the functions of CD24 are mediated by its glycosylation pattern. Our present study provides evidence that interaction of CD24 with the cell adhesion molecule L1 is mediated by O-linked glycans carrying alpha2,3-linked sialic acid. Furthermore, de-N-glycosylated CD24 was shown to promote or inhibit neurite outgrowth of cerebellar neurons or dorsal root ganglion neurons, respectively, to the same extent as untreated CD24. Therefore, this study is focused on the structural elucidation of the chemically released, permethylated CD24 O-glycans by electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry. Our analyses revealed the occurrence of a diverse mixture of mucin-type and O-mannosyl glycans carrying, in part, functionally relevant epitopes, such as 3-linked sialic acid, disialyl motifs, Le(X), sialyl-Le(X) or HNK-1 units. Hence, our data provide the basis for further studies on the contribution of carbohydrate determinants to CD24-mediated biological activities.

Abstract
Murine CD24 is an abundantly glycosylated glycoprotein that plays important roles in the central nervous system and the immune system. It has been proposed that the functions of CD24 are primarily mediated by its N- and/or O-linked glycans. Applying a highly sensitive glycomics approach which included matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization and electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry, we have performed a detailed analysis of the N-linked glycans of CD24. Our data revealed a highly heterogeneous pattern of mainly complex type glycans expressing distinct carbohydrate epitopes, like 3-linked sialic acid, Le(X) or blood group H antigens, bisecting N-acetylglucosamine residues and N-acetyllactosamine repeats as well as high-mannose and hybrid type species.

Abstract
CD24 is a glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol linked glycoprotein expressed in a broad range of cell types and is heavily glycosylated. It has been found to be over expressed in cancers and tumors and is also a costimulatory molecule. Therefore, this study was carried out to define the structures of the carbohydrates associated with the CD24 recombinant protein. The CD24 glycoprotein's oligosaccharides were released by chemical and enzymatic means prior to being analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS. The results obtained showed that CD24 is both N- and O-glycosylated. The major oligosaccharides were found to be Neu5Acα-2,3/6Galβ-1,3GalNAc, NeuAc(2)Gal β-1,3GalNAc(1) (O-glycans), GalNAc(2)GlcNAc(2)Man(3)Fuc(1), Gal(1)GalNAc(2)GlcNAc(2)Man(3)Fuc(1), and Gal(2)GalNAc(2)GlcNAc(2)Man(3)Fuc(1) (N-glycans). The results showed that Neu5Acα-2,3/6Galβ-1,3GalNAc (sialyl-tumor antigen, sT), a cancer-associated carbohydrate, was the most abundant glycan associated with CD24. This result raised the intriguing possibility that CD24 may be a major carrier of the sialyl-T abundantly found in cancer cells.

Abstract
The neuronal cell adhesion molecule (CAM) L1 promotes axonal outgrowth, presumably through an interaction with the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR). The present study demonstrates a direct interaction between L1 fibronectin type III (FN3) modules I-V and FGFR1 immunoglobulin (Ig) modules II and III by surface plasmon resonance analysis. Binding of L1 to FGFR1 was enhanced by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP), adenylylmethylenediphosphonate (AMP-PCP), and guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP), but not adenosine monophosphate (AMP). The L1-FN3 modules were capable of activating FGFR1, reflected by receptor phosphorylation, and this resulted in the induction of differentiation of primary neurons, reflected by neurite outgrowth. Furthermore, ATP modulated L1-induced neuronal differentiation and FGFR1 phosphorylation through regulation of the L1-FGFR1 interaction.

Abstract
The expression of the glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein CD24 correlates with poor prognosis in a variety of carcinomas. However, little is known about the cellular mechanisms of the CD24-mediated effects. In this study, we present evidence that CD24 affects the lateral localization of beta1 integrin. Using stably CD24-transfected A125 and MDA-MB-435S carcinoma cells we show that CD24 augments beta1-dependent cell motility and stimulates transmigration and invasion across a monolayer of endothelial cells. Furthermore, as demonstrated by sucrose density gradient centrifugation and Western Blot analysis, CD24 recruits beta1 integrin into lipid raft domains. We suggest that CD24 acts as a gate-keeper for lipid rafts, thereby regulating the activity of integrins and other proteins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE CD24 is an established marker for poor prognosis in ovarian and other carcinomas. Acquisition of cytoplasmic CD24, as opposed to membranous expression, has been correlated with a higher invasiveness of tumor cells. Exosomes are small vesicles of endosomal origin that are often secreted by tumor cells. Given the emerging role of exosomes in tumor progression, we investigated whether cytoplasmic CD24 expression is correlated with the secretion of CD24 in exosomes. METHODS We used CD24 transfected carcinoma cell lines, ovarian carcinoma cell lines and malignant ascites fluid of ovarian carcinoma patients. Exosomes were isolated via ultracentrifugation and sucrose density fractionation and subsequently examined by Western blot analysis and gelatine zymography. In tissue sections CD24 was detected by immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS We show that CD24 is released by transfected as well as endogenously expressing cells in vesicles that represent exosomes. CD24 was also identified in exosomes isolated from ascites fluid of ovarian carcinoma patients. In 16 ovarian carcinomas analyzed no correlation between CD24 in tumor tissue sections and the appearance of CD24 in exosomes was detected. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), known to be overexpressed in ovarian carcinomas, is secreted in exosomes. The ascites exosomes contain gelatinolytic enzymes. CONCLUSIONS Our study identifies CD24 and EpCAM as cargo proteins of exosomes of cultured cell lines and malignant ascites. The exosome-associated proteolytic activity in the tumor vicinity might augment tumor invasion into the stroma.

Abstract
The normal PrP(C) (cellular prion protein) contains sLe(X) [sialyl-Le(X) (Lewis X)] and Le(X). sLe(X) is a ligand of selectins. To examine whether PrP(C) is a ligand of selectins, we generated three human PrP(C)-Ig fusion proteins: one with Le(X), one with sLe(X), and the other with neither Le(X) nor sLe(X). Only Le(X)-PrP(C)-Ig binds E-, L- and P-selectins. Binding is Ca(2+)-dependent and occurs with nanomolar affinity. Removal of sialic acid on sLe(X)-PrP(C)-Ig enables the fusion protein to bind all selectins. These findings were confirmed with brain-derived PrP(C). The selectins precipitated PrP(C) in human brain in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Treatment of brain homogenates with neuraminidase increased the amounts of PrP(C) precipitated. Therefore the presence of sialic acid prevents the binding of PrP(C) in human brain to selectins. Hence, human brain PrP(C) interacts with selectins in a manner that is distinct from interactions in peripheral tissues. Alternations in these interactions may have pathological consequences.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The outcome of peripheral nerve repair is often unsatisfactory, and efficient therapies are not available. We tested the therapeutic potential of functional mimics of the human natural killer cell glycan (3-sulfoglucuronyl beta1-3 galactoside) (HNK-1) epitope, a carbohydrate indicated to favor specificity of motor reinnervation in mice. METHODS We applied a linear HNK-1 mimic peptide, scrambled peptide, or vehicle substances in polyethylene cuffs used to reconstruct the severed femoral nerves of adult mice. We used video-based motion analysis and morphological and tracing techniques to monitor the outcome of nerve repair. RESULTS After glycomimetic application, quadriceps muscle function recovered to 93% of normal within 3 months. Restoration of function was less complete (71-76%) in control groups. Better functional recovery was associated with larger motoneuron somata, better axonal myelination in the quadriceps nerve, and enhanced precision of target reinnervation. Lesion-induced death of motoneurons was reduced by 20 to 25%. The glycomimetic enhanced survival and neurite outgrowth of both mouse and human motoneurons in vitro by 30 to 75%. Application of a novel cyclic glycomimetic also enhanced functional recovery in vivo. INTERPRETATION The improved outcome of nerve repair after glycomimetic application may be attributed to neurotrophic effects. Our results hold promise for therapeutic use in humans.

Abstract
The genes encoding several synaptic proteins, including acetylcholine receptors, acetylcholinesterase, and the muscle-specific kinase, MuSK, are expressed selectively by a small number of myofiber nuclei positioned near the synaptic site. Genetic analysis of mutant mice suggests that additional genes, expressed selectively by synaptic nuclei, might encode muscle-derived retrograde signals that regulate the differentiation of motor axon terminals. To identify candidate retrograde signals, we used a microarray screen to identify genes that are preferentially expressed in the synaptic region of muscle, and we analyzed one such gene, CD24, further. We show that CD24, which encodes a small, variably and highly glycosylated, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked protein, is expressed preferentially by myofiber synaptic nuclei in embryonic and adult muscle, and that CD24 expression is restricted to the central region of muscle independent of innervation. Moreover, we show that CD24 has a role in presynaptic differentiation, because synaptic transmission is depressed and fails entirely, in a cyclical manner, after repetitive stimulation of motor axons in CD24 mutant mice. These deficits in synaptic transmission, which are accompanied by aberrant stimulus-dependent uptake of AM1-43 from axons, indicate that CD24 is required for normal presynaptic maturation and function. Because CD24 is also expressed in some neurons, additional experiments will be required to determine whether pre- or postsynaptic CD24 mediates these effects on presynaptic development and function.

Abstract
Optimal activation of naïve T lymphocyte requires two signals; an antigen-specific signal initiated by engagement of TCR with the antigen-MHC complex and a costimulatory signal independent of the antigen receptor complex. Without the costimulatory signal, T cells become anergic. Various adhesion molecules, such as B7-1 (CD80) and heat stable antigen (HSA, CD24), expressed on antigen presenting cells have been demonstrated to provide costimulatory signals to T cells. It was reported that the combinations of different adhesion molecules could induce even stronger immune response. In this study, we made a hybrid costimulatory molecule, B7-1-HSA, and tested its T cell stimulatory function. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing this hybrid molecule bound both anti-CD80 and anti-CD24 monoclonal antibodies, and induced stronger T cell proliferation than CHO cells expressing B7-1 or HSA alone. These results suggest that the B7-1-HSA hybrid molecule can deliver two costimulatory signals simultaneously that can synergize in inducing T cell proliferation. The purified B7-1-HSA protein reacted with both anti-B7-1 and anti-HSA mAbs in Western blotting and specifically mediated adhesion of Jurkat cells. Furthermore, purified B7-1-HSA molecule spontaneously incorporated onto cell membrane through its glycolipid anchor suggesting that this hybrid costimulatory molecule can be used in protein transfer to develop effective cancer vaccines.

Abstract
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored membrane protein CD24 functions as an adhesion molecule for P-selectin and L1 and plays a role in B-cell development and neurogenesis. Over the last few years, a large body of literature has also implicated CD24 expression in tumorigenesis and progression. Here, we show that ectopic CD24 expression can be sufficient to promote tumor metastasis in experimental animals. By developing a doxycycline-inducible system for the expression of CD24 in breast cancer cells, we have also analyzed the cellular properties that CD24 expression influences. We found that CD24 expression increased tumor cell proliferation. Furthermore, in addition to promoting binding to P-selectin, CD24 expression also indirectly stimulated cell adhesion to fibronectin, collagens I and IV, and laminin through the activation of alpha3beta1 and alpha4beta1 integrin activity. Moreover, CD24 expression supported rapid cell spreading and strongly induced cell motility and invasion. CD24-induced proliferation and motility were integrin independent. Together, these observations implicate CD24 in the regulation of multiple cell properties of direct relevance to tumor growth and metastasis.

Abstract
Four amino-terminal immunoglobulin (Ig) modules and three fibronectin type III (F3) modules of the mouse neural cell-adhesion molecule L1 have been expressed in Drosophila S2 cells. The Ig modules I-IV of L1 crystallized in a trigonal space group, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 239.6, c = 99.3 A, and the crystals diffracted X-rays to a resolution of about 3.5 A. The F3 modules I-III of L1 crystallized in a tetragonal space group, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 80.1, c = 131 A, and the crystals diffracted X-rays to 2.8 A resolution. This is a step towards the structure determination of the multimodular constructs of the neural cell-adhesion molecule L1 in order to understand the function of L1 on a structural basis.

Abstract
We previously showed that deletion of the cell surface molecule mCD24 resulted in an increased proliferation in adult subventricular zone (SVZ). Here, we report an increased PSA-NCAM+/TuJ1- population in the mCD24-/- in vivo SVZ as well as in vitro neurospheres. Isolated in vitro, these cells were able to generate neurospheres. Proliferation studies, using BrdU incorporation, showed an increased proliferation in P7 mCD24-/- SVZ and neurospheres. Using electron microscopy, the same cell types were identified in the in vivo SVZ as well as in vitro neurospheres from the WT and mCD24-/- mice. In mixed neurospheres, formed with WT and EGFP/KO cells (enhanced green fluorescent protein mCD24-/-), the WT environment was able to control the proliferation rate of the mCD24-/- cells, but was unable to regulate their differentiation. We concluded that mCD24 acts cell nonautonomously to regulate transit-amplifying cells proliferation and/or differentiation.

Abstract
L1 disease is a group of overlapping clinical phenotypes including X-linked hydrocephalus, MASA syndrome, spastic paraparesis type 1, and X-linked agenesis of corpus callosum. The patients are characterized by hydrocephalus, agenesis or hypoplasia of corpus callosum and corticospinal tracts, mental retardation, spastic paraplegia, and adducted thumbs. The responsible gene, L1CAM, encodes the L1 protein which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of neuronal cell adhesion molecules. The L1 protein is expressed in neurons and Schwann cells and seems to be essential for nervous system development and function. The patients' gene mutations are distributed over the functional protein domains. The exact mechanisms by which these mutations cause a loss of L1 protein function are unknown. There appears to be a relationship between the patients' clinical phenotype and the genotype. Missense mutations in extracellular domains or mutations in cytoplasmic regions cause milder phenotypes than those leading to truncation in extracellular domains or to non-detectable L1 protein. Diagnosis of patients and carriers, including prenatal testing, is based on the characteristic clinical picture and DNA mutation analyses. At present, there is no therapy for the prevention or cure of patients' neurological disabilities.

Abstract
Among the recognition molecules that determine a neuron's interaction with other cells, L1 and CD24 have been suggested to cooperate with each other in neurite outgrowth and signal transduction. Here we report that binding of CD24 to L1 depends on alpha2,3-sialic acid on CD24, which determines the CD24 induced and cell type-specific promotion or inhibition of neurite outgrowth. Using knockout mutants, we could show that the CD24-induced effects on neurite outgrowth are mediated via L1, and not GPI-linked CD24, by trans-interaction of L1 with sialylated CD24. This glycoform is excluded together with L1 from raft microdomains, suggesting that molecular compartmentation in the surface membrane could play a role in signal transduction.

Abstract
The cell adhesion molecule L1, a 200-220-kDa type I membrane glycoprotein of the Ig superfamily, mediates many neuronal processes. Originally studied in the nervous system, L1 is expressed by hematopoietic and many epithelial cells, suggesting a more expanded role. L1 supports homophilic L1-L1 and integrin-mediated cell binding and can also bind with high affinity to the neural proteoglycan neurocan; however, the binding site is unknown. We have dissected the L1 molecule and investigated the cell binding ability of Ig domains 1 and 6. We report that RGD sites in domain 6 support alpha5beta1- or alphavbeta3-mediated integrin binding and that both RGD sites are essential. Cooperation of RGD sites with neighboring domains are necessary for alpha(5)beta(1). A T cell hybridoma and activated T cells could bind to L1 in the absence of RGDs. This binding was supported by Ig domain 1 and mediated by cell surface-exposed neurocan. Lymphoid and brain-derived neurocan were structurally similar. We also present evidence that a fusion protein of the Ig 1-like domain of L1 can bind to recombinant neurocan. Our results support the notion that L1 provides distinct cell binding sites that may serve in cell-cell or cell-matrix interactions.

Abstract
To identify genes that might play a role in growth and differentiation of pancreatic beta-cells, we have applied the technique of differential mRNA display to the lineage-related, but functionally distinct rat insulinoma (RIN) cell lines RIN-5AH and RIN-A12. Direct comparison of PCR-generated RIN-5AH and RIN-A12 cDNAs on DNA sequencing gels revealed 31 differentially expressed bands. By Northern blot hybridization, authentic differential expression was confirmed for three cDNAs derived from RIN-5AH cells and four cDNAs from RIN-A12 cells. Nucleotide sequences were determined for these cDNAs and database searches identified one known gene that encoded heat stable antigen CD24. Of the remaining six genes, three matched with established sequence tags from fetal tissue, and three were potentially novel. By RT-PCR analysis, five of the seven genes were expressed in normal fetal and/or adult pancreas. In a detailed survey of CD24 protein expression in the pancreas using the CD24-specific monoclonal antibody J11d, CD24 was predominantly expressed in ductal epithelial cells (E13.5-15.5), developing endocrine (alpha, beta and delta) and exocrine cells (E15.5-20.5) and mature exocrine and peripheral islet delta-cells post E20.5. The retention of CD24 expression in a large proportion of delta-cells but only in a minority of alpha- and beta-cells leads us to hypothesize that CD24 may mark a pool of precursor endocrine cells within adult islets.

Abstract
The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 (L1CAM) plays a key role during embryonic development of the nervous system and is involved in memory and learning. Mutations in the L1 gene are responsible for four X linked neurological conditions: X linked hydrocephalus (HSAS), MASA syndrome, complicated spastic paraplegia type 1 (SP-1), and X linked agenesis of the corpus callosum. As the clinical picture of these four L1 associated diseases shows considerable overlap and is characterised by Corpus callosum hypoplasia, mental Retardation, Adducted thumbs, Spastic paraplegia, and Hydrocephalus, these conditions have recently been lumped together into the CRASH syndrome. We investigate here whether a genotype-phenotype correlation exists in CRASH syndrome since its clinical spectrum is highly variable and numerous L1 mutations have been described. We found that (1) mutations in the extracellular part of L1 leading to truncation or absence of L1 cause a severe phenotype, (2) mutations in the cytoplasmic domain of L1 give rise to a milder phenotype than extracellular mutations, and (3) extracellular missense mutations affecting amino acids situated on the surface of a domain cause a milder phenotype than those affecting amino acids buried in the core of the domain.
