Background
MCAM is an immunoglobulin super family member originally described as a cell surface adhesion protein and marker of the progression and metastasis of melanoma . Expression of MCAM protein is seen in vascular endothelial cells, activated T lymphocytes, smooth muscle, and bone marrow stromal cells. Research studies demonstrate increased MCAM expression in endothelial cells from angiogenesis-related disorders, including inflammatorybowel disease, Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, tumors, and chronic renal failure. MCAM-expressing human mesenchymal stromal cells in the hematopoietic microenvironment are responsible for maintaining the self-renewal of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells through direct contact between hMSC and those cells .
