Abstract
The tumor microenvironment is one of the important drivers of tumor development. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a major component of the tumor stroma and actively participate in tumor development, invasion, metastasis, drug resistance, and other biological behaviors. CAFs are a highly heterogeneous group of cells, a reflection of the diversity of their origin, biomarkers, and functions. The diversity of CAF origin determines the complexity of CAF biomarkers, and CAF subpopulations expressing different biomarkers may play contrasting roles in tumor progression. In this review, we provide an overview of these emerging CAF biomarkers and the biological functions that they suggest, which may give a better understanding of the relationship between CAFs and tumor cells and be of great significance for breakthroughs in precision targeted therapy for tumors.

Podoplanin Gene Disruption in Mice Promotes in vivo Neural Progenitor Cells Proliferation, Selectively Impairs Dentate Gyrus Synaptic Depression and Induces Anxiety-Like Behaviors. Front Cell Neurosci 2020; 13:561.

Abstract
Podoplanin (Pdpn), a brain-tumor-related glycoprotein identified in humans and animals, is endogenously expressed in several organs critical for life support such as kidney, lung, heart and brain. In the brain, Pdpn has been identified in proliferative nestin-positive adult neural progenitor cells and in neurons of the neurogenic hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG), a structure associated to anxiety, critical for learning and memory functions and severely damaged in people with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The in vivo role of Pdpn in adult neurogenesis and anxiety-like behavior remained however unexplored. Using mice with disrupted Pdpn gene as a model organism and applying combined behavioral, molecular biological and electrophysiological assays, we here show that the absence of Pdpn selectively impairs long-term synaptic depression in the neurogenic DG without affecting the CA3-Schaffer's collateral-CA1 synapses. Pdpn deletion also enhanced the proliferative capacity of DG neural progenitor cells and diminished survival of differentiated neuronal cells in vitro. In addition, mice with podoplanin gene disruption showed increased anxiety-like behaviors in experimentally validated behavioral tests as compared to wild type littermate controls. Together, these findings broaden our knowledge on the molecular mechanisms influencing hippocampal synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis in vivo and reveal Pdpn as a novel molecular target for future studies addressing general anxiety disorder and synaptic depression-related memory dysfunctions.

Abstract
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) exhibit various phenotypes and serve an important role in tumor progression. However, research on podoplanin expression in CAFs is limited, and its role in the cholangiocarcinoma microenvironment remains unclear. The present study analyzed the clinical and pathological records of 42 patients diagnosed with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) in The Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School (Nanjing, China). Immunohistochemical staining was performed to evaluate the expression of podoplanin in CAFs in order to determine its association with clinicopathological parameters and survival rate. Podoplanin expression in the CAFs was associated with the tumor-node-metastasis staging system, and lymph node metastasis in pCCA. Tumor tissue demonstrated an increase in lymphatic vessel density (LVD) compared with para-tumor tissue. Podoplanin expression in CAFs was associated with LVD in tumor and para-tumor tissues. To examine the effect of podoplanin expression in CAFs on tumor progression, CAFs were isolated from tumor xenografts. Following transfection with an expression plasmid encoding podoplanin, the migratory ability of CAFs was significantly increased. Therefore, CAF-associated podoplanin expression in pCCA may serve as a potential biomarker to evaluate prognosis and provide a valuable target for anticancer therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Podoplanin is a cell-surface glycoprotein constitutively expressed in the brain and implicated in human brain tumorigenesis. The intrinsic function of podoplanin in brain neurons remains however uncharacterized. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using an established podoplanin-knockout mouse model and electrophysiological, biochemical, and behavioral approaches, we investigated the brain neuronal role of podoplanin. RESULTS Ex-vivo electrophysiology showed that podoplanin deletion impairs dentate gyrus synaptic strengthening. In vivo, podoplanin deletion selectively impaired hippocampus-dependent spatial learning and memory without affecting amygdala-dependent cued fear conditioning. In vitro, neuronal overexpression of podoplanin promoted synaptic activity and neuritic outgrowth whereas podoplanin-deficient neurons exhibited stunted outgrowth and lower levels of p-Ezrin, TrkA, and CREB in response to nerve growth factor (NGF). Surface Plasmon Resonance data further indicated a physical interaction between podoplanin and NGF. DISCUSSION This work proposes podoplanin as a novel component of the neuronal machinery underlying neuritogenesis, synaptic plasticity, and hippocampus-dependent memory functions. The existence of a relevant cross-talk between podoplanin and the NGF/TrkA signaling pathway is also for the first time proposed here, thus providing a novel molecular complex as a target for future multidisciplinary studies of the brain function in the physiology and the pathology. Key messages Podoplanin, a protein linked to the promotion of human brain tumors, is required in vivo for proper hippocampus-dependent learning and memory functions. Deletion of podoplanin selectively impairs activity-dependent synaptic strengthening at the neurogenic dentate-gyrus and hampers neuritogenesis and phospho Ezrin, TrkA and CREB protein levels upon NGF stimulation. Surface plasmon resonance data indicates a physical interaction between podoplanin and NGF. On these grounds, a relevant cross-talk between podoplanin and NGF as well as a role for podoplanin in plasticity-related brain neuronal functions is here proposed.

Abstract
Podoplanin is a small mucin-like transmembrane protein expressed in several adult tissues and with an important role during embryogenesis. It is needed for the proper development of kidneys and lungs as well as accurate formation of the lymphatic vascular system. In addition, it is involved in the physiology of the immune system. A wide variety of tumors express podoplanin, both in the malignant cells and in the stroma. Although there are exceptions, the presence of podoplanin results in poor prognosis. The main consequence of forced podoplanin expression in established and tumor-derived cell lines is an increase in cell migration and, eventually, the triggering of an epithelial-mesenchymal transition, whereby cells acquire a fibroblastoid phenotype and increased motility. We will examine the current status of the role of podoplanin in the induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition as well as the different interactions that lead to this program.

This study aims to characterize structures in human fetal eyes stained by the lymphatic marker podoplanin (D2-40) with emphasis on the stage of maturation and the presence of intraocular lymphatic structures. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded eyes from 40 human fetuses between 10 and 38 weeks of gestation (WoG) were investigated. Immunohistochemical stains were performed for D2-40, LYVE-1 as a secondary lymphatic marker, and CD34 as a control for endothelial reactivity. A semiquantitative analysis of antigen expression in different segments of the eye was performed by light microscopy. The intensity of antigen expression was graded with a score ranging from 0 to 3. Podoplanin expression was found with a variable intensity in 97.5% of the eyes, in particular in lymphatic vessels of the conjunctiva (n = 26), conjunctival and corneal epithelium (n = 33), corneal endothelium (n = 4), trabecular meshwork (n = 28), and optic nerve sheaths (n = 23). A slight, equivocal staining reaction was noted in the choroid (n = 14). There was a correlation of antigen reactivity and the gestational age for corneal endothelial reactivity in earlier gestational stages (p = 0.003) and trabecular meshwork in older eyes (p = 0.031). D2-40 positive Müller cells were detected in two eyes ≥32 WoG. Thus, aside from conjunctival lymphatic vessels, podoplanin was expressed in several structures of the human fetal eye and the ocular adnexae at different gestational stages. Podoplanin positive structures were also found in the choroid and the chamber angle. However, lymphatic vessels or its progenitors could not be unequivocally identified in intraocular structures during 10-38 weeks of gestation. There is no evidence from our data that transient intraocular lymphactics develop in the fetal eye between 10 and 38 weeks of gestation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and alteration of lymphatic vessels and draining function in knee joints of normal and osteoarthritic mice. METHODS For the mouse models of osteoarthritis (OA), we used mice with meniscal-ligamentous injury or mice with conditional knockout of the gene for cartilage transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) type II receptor. The severity of cartilage loss and joint destruction was assessed histologically. Capillary and mature lymphatic vessels were identified and analyzed using double immunofluorescence staining and a whole-slide digital imaging system. Lymphatic drainage of knee joints was examined using near-infrared lymphatic imaging. Patient joint specimens obtained during total knee or hip arthroplasty were evaluated to verify the content validity of the mouse findings. RESULTS Lymphatic vessels were distributed in soft tissues (mainly around the joint capsule, ligaments, fat pads, and muscles of normal knees). The number of lymphatic vessels, particularly the number of capillaries, was significantly increased in joints of mice with mild OA, while the number of mature lymphatic vessels was markedly decreased in joints of mice with severe OA. OA knees exhibited significantly decreased lymph clearance. The number of both capillary and mature lymphatic vessels was significantly decreased in the joints of patients with OA. CONCLUSION The whole-slide digital imaging system is a powerful tool, enabling the identification and assessment of lymphatic microvasculature in the entire mouse knee. Lymphatic capillaries and mature vessels are present in various soft tissues around articular spaces. Abnormalities of lymphatic vessels and draining function, including significantly reduced numbers of mature vessels and impaired clearance, are present in OA joints.
