“…We have shown that Burkitt’s lymphoma cells, where the 5’ promoter region of cMyc is replaced with Ig heavy chain promoter sequence, are resistant to growth inhibition by CD47 over-expression, and cMyc expression is unperturbed by CD47 in these cells (Kaur, 2013). Others have identified NFκB dependent regulation of cystatin-S/protease activated receptor-2, p21, Gβγ-dependent activation of the PI3-kinase/Akt pathway, and ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 1 (UHRF1)-dependent down-regulation of p16 INK4A as targets of CD47 signaling in specific cancer cell lines (Boukhari et al, 2015; Lee, 2014b; Sick et al, 2011; Zheng, 2015). Further study is needed to determine which of these CD47 target pathways generalize to other cancer types, and which may differ in neoplastic versus nontransformed stem cells.…”
