Up-regulated expression of CD147 gene in malignant bone tumor and the possible induction mechanism during osteoclast formation

Abstract excerpt

It is increasingly evident that the microenvironment of bone can influence cancer phenotype in many ways that favor growth in bone. CD147, a transmembrane protein of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, was identified independently in different species and has many designations across different species. However, expression levels of CD147 mRNA in bone cancer have not been described. In this study, we have used...
