CD99 antigen (

X inactivation, and it was the first such pseudoautosomal gene to be discovered in humans.[6]

Expression

It is expressed on all

thymocytes[7][8][9] and is believed to augment T-cell adhesion[10][11] and apoptosis of double positive T cells.[12] It has been found in endothelial cells and in the periodontium, including gingival fibroblasts and gingival epithelial cells.[5] It also participates in migration and activation.[13] There is also experimental evidence that it binds to cyclophilin A.[14]

It is found on the cell surface of

haemangiopericytoma, and meningioma.[6] EWS/FLI is thought to regulate CD99, but knockdown of EWS/FLI results in only a modest reduction in CD99. When CD99 expression is knocked down in human cells with Ewing's sarcoma and those cells are grafted onto mice, tumor and bone metastasis development is reduced.[15]

Reducing CD99 expression results in higher β-III tubulin expression and more neurite outgrowth.[15]

Upregulating CD99 expression in the cell line L428, a Hodgkin's lymphoma line, resulted in those cells redifferentiating towards B cells. Consequently, the loss of B-cell differentiation in Hodgkin's lymphoma may be due to CD99 downregulation.[18]

Men appear to express higher levels of CD99 than women.[19]

Prognostic Value

In patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with the germinal center B-cell (GCB, classified according to the Muris algorithm) subtype, positive expression of CD99 resulted in better 2-year event free survival (EFS) and 2-year overall survival (OS) compared to negative expression of CD99. In patients with DLBCL with non-GCB, however, negative expression of CD99 resulted in better 2-year EFS and 2-year OS.[20] In patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), higher CD99 expression in the stroma results in better prognosis.[21]

Interactions

There is evidence that through suppressing β1 integrin affinity, CD99 inhibits cell-extracellular matrix adhesion.[22]
