CD44 glycoprotein is ubiqutously present and situated at the extracellular surface of cell. Its role as an adhesion recptor was modified depending upon the state of post addition of glycomoeties under varied microenvironment. Many alternative spliced variants of CD44 were expressed by human cells depending upon the attainment during mutifunctional signal disposition. The function of splice factors, and hnRNPA family (Heterogenous ribonucleoproteins A) were dicussed in context to CD44 alternative variants. Glioma cell cline U87 MG were used in this study to search more about the affect of hnRNPA1 and hnRNPA2/B1 knockdown in CD44 V6 and CD44V10 expression. We found in preliminary study that splice factor knock down reduces the alternative splice variants of CD44 such as V6 & V10. Therefore, potential of this study to elaborate further the mechanism in vivo model, to validate the alternative spliced variant in context to interaction with extracellular microenvironment.

Abstract: A punicalagin is a metabolic product of pomegranate fruits and peeled. We have compiled the recent literature review from different sources. The extract of pomegranate fruits and peel has been reported for health-beneficial properties in inflammation-associated chronic disease and the regulatory role in NF-KB, MAPK, IL-6/JAK/STAT3, and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Punicalagin is an ellagitannin found in the peel of pomegranate (Punica granatum). It is a polyphenol with proven biological/pharmacological activities like antioxidant, hepatoprotective, an-ti-atherosclerotic, anti-cancer, anti-neurological, anti-diabetic, and anti-digestive. The extracts have a rich source of hydrolyzable tannin and anthocyanin exhibiting strong anti-neoplastic properties. Anti-cancer activities of pomegranate with reference to modulated signaling pathways in various cancer diseases have been recently reported. The punicalagin-induced redirection of the signal-transduction pathway from survival and proliferation into the cell cycle by arrested the living cells. Apoptosis senescence and autophagy and thus compromising neoplastic progression are delineated. This review is based mainly on data obtained from various sources including the in-vitro cell line model and its activities that are concerned with the effect of punicalagin activities on various cell types.
