Abstract excerpt
CD44, a widely distributed cell surface glycoprotein and a receptor for hyaluronan (HA), has been implicated in facilitating tumor growth and metastasis, antiapoptosis and directional motility of cancer cells. In order to investigate the role of soluble CD44 (CD44(sol)) in colon cancer cell growth, SW620, a human colon cancer cell line deficient in CD44 expression was stably transfected with human CD44 cDNA...
