CD81 partners with CD44 in promoting exosome biogenesis, tumor cluster formation, and lung metastasis in triple negative breast cancer
2022-02-25
Abstract excerpt
Tumor-initiating cells with reprogramming plasticity are thought to be essential for cancer development and metastatic regeneration in many cancers; however, the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. This study reports that CD81, a tetraspanin protein marker of small extracellular vesicles (exosomes), functions as a binding partner of CD44 and facilitates self-renewal of tumor initiating cells. Using mach...
