Podoplanin Associates with CD44 to Promote Directional Cell Migration
Podoplanin is a transmembrane glycoprotein up-regulated in different human tumors, especially those derived from squamous stratified epithelia (SCCs). Its expression in tumor cells is linked to increased cell migration and invasiveness; however, the mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly understood. Here we report that CD44, the major hyaluronan (HA) receptor, is a novel partner for p...
متن کاملComparing Immunohistochemical Expression of Podoplanin between Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Normal Oral Mucosa
Background and purpose: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the sixth most common cancer in the world. Podoplanin is a mucin-like integral membrane glycoprotein that is expressed in the lymphatic endothelial cells but not in the blood vascular endothelial cells. The aim of the present study was to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of podoplanin and evaluating lymphangiogenesis i...
متن کاملExpression of podoplanin and vimentin is correlated with prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Podoplanin is a small membrane mucin, which is involved in cell migration and cancer cell invasion. However, the roles of podoplanin in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are poorly understood. In the present study, 139 cases of surgically resected ESCC were analyzed and the clinicopathological significance of podoplanin membrane expression in ESCC was demonstrated. Podoplanin expression...
متن کاملPodoplanin and VEGF-C immunoexpression in oral squamous cell carcinomas: prognostic significance.
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the clinical significance of podoplanin and vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS The immunohistochemical expression of podoplanin and VEGF-C were investigated in 42 well-differentiated OSCCs. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the association of biomarker expression with the c...
متن کاملNew horizon in platelet function: with special reference to a recently-found molecule, CLEC-2
Platelets play a key role in the pathophysiological processes of hemostasis and thrombus formation. However, platelet functions beyond thrombosis and hemostasis have been increasingly identified in recent years. A large body of evidence now exists which suggests that platelets also play a key role in inflammation, immunity, malignancy, and furthermore in organ development and regeneration, such...
