CD44 is a family of cell surface transmembrane glycoproteins members which differ in the extracellular part by sequences derived by alternative splicing of 10 variant exons (v1-v10). CD44 proteins containing such variant sequences have been implicated in tumor metastasis formation. Here, we have eva

## BACKGROUND. It has been suggested that CD44 splice variants play a role in the progression of certain epithelial cancers and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In this study, we investigated the epithelial variant/hematopoietic variant (E/H) ratio (the amount of the CD44 epithelial variant transcript relat
## BACKGROUND. Transmembrane proteins of the CD44 family play roles in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, and their aberrant expression has been reported to be associated with the growth and metastasis of various tumors. The authors examined CD44 standard (CD44st) and CD44 variant 6 (CD44v6)
The significance of CD44 variants in gastric carcinoma has not been fully investigated in terms of the pathological features of the carcinoma, including its association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). In this study, a total of 104 primary gastric carcinoma tissues (EBV-associated gastric carcinomas,
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A5 is involved in the metabolism of carcinogens like aflatoxin B1 and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), and CYP2A5 levels are increased in some pathological states of the liver (e.g., infectious hepatitis and porphyria). We analyzed the expression of CYP2A5 during experimental liv
