摘要

Splicing variants of CD44 (CD44v) are increasingly recognised as metastasis-promoting factors in rodent and some human cancers. However, the frequency for CD44v expression in human cancers and their metastases and the status of CD44v expression in low or non-metastatic tumours is still uncertain. To address this issue, we investigated CD44 expression patterns in brain metastases (BMTs) spread from more than ten organs and five types of primary brain tumours (PBTs) by Northern blot, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunocytochemical analysis. The results demonstrated that all of the 56 PBTs examined express standard form of CD44 (CD44s) but none of them express CD44v. In contrast, 22 of 26 BMTs studied were found with CD44v expression. Our data thus present direct evidence of a general distribution of CD44 in BMTs but suggest that such expression is an extremely rare event in PBTs. Therefore, the presence or absence of CD44v expression may be related to high or low metastatic potential of human malignancies.
