Abstract
CD82, traditionally recognized as a metastasis suppressor within the tetraspanin family, has emerged as a key player in diverse cancer-related processes beyond its canonical functions. This review highlights recent research on the non-canonical roles of CD82 in cancer progression, with a particular focus on its regulation of immune cell interactions, its impact on tumor microenvironment modulation, and its potential as both a therapeutic target and a biomarker. By examining the novel functions of CD82 in immune modulation and its influence on key signaling pathways, we propose that CD82 offers promising avenues for therapeutic interventions in cancer. This paper provides a comprehensive synthesis of the current understanding of CD82’s expanded roles, underscoring its potential in improving cancer diagnosis and therapy.
期刊介绍:
Pathology, Research and Practice provides accessible coverage of the most recent developments across the entire field of pathology: Reviews focus on recent progress in pathology, while Comments look at interesting current problems and at hypotheses for future developments in pathology. Original Papers present novel findings on all aspects of general, anatomic and molecular pathology. Rapid Communications inform readers on preliminary findings that may be relevant for further studies and need to be communicated quickly. Teaching Cases look at new aspects or special diagnostic problems of diseases and at case reports relevant for the pathologist''s practice.
