Role of CD146 (MCAM) in Physiological and Pathological Angiogenesis-Contribution of New Antibodies for Therapy. Biomedicines 2020; 8:biomedicines8120633. [PMID: 33352759 PMCID: PMC7767164 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines8120633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2020] [Revised: 12/14/2020] [Accepted: 12/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The fundamental role of cell adhesion molecules in mediating various biological processes as angiogenesis has been well-documented. CD146, an adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin superfamily, and its soluble form, constitute major players in both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. A growing body of evidence shows soluble CD146 to be significantly elevated in the serum or interstitial fluid of patients with pathologies related to deregulated angiogenesis, as autoimmune diseases, obstetric and ocular pathologies, and cancers. To block the undesirable effects of this molecule, therapeutic antibodies have been developed. Herein, we review the multifaceted functions of CD146 in physiological and pathological angiogenesis and summarize the interest of using monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic purposes.

CD146 expression in oral lichen planus and oral cancer. Clin Oral Investig 2019; 24:325-332. [PMID: 31102047 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-019-02871-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2018] [Accepted: 02/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the CD146/METCAM expression on keratinocytes in normal oral mucosa (NOM), oral lichen planus (OLP), oral epithelial dysplasia (OED), and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Immunohistochemical examination of CD146 was performed on 80 specimens, divided into 20 cases from each group. The number of CD146+ keratinocytes was quantitatively assessed together with the staining intensity. RESULTS The mean percentage of CD146+ keratinocytes was 19.04±15.32, 59.40±24.48, 60.04±28.87, and 22.13±21.03 in NOM, OLP, OED, and OSCC, respectively. The mean percentages of CD146+ keratinocytes in OLP and OED were significantly higher than those of NOM and OSCC (p≤0.001). Most OED (55%) and OLP (60%) showed strong and moderate staining intensity, respectively, while NOM (50%) and OSCC (45%) predominantly expressed CD146 at mild intensity. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to examine CD146 expression in OLP and OED. CD146 is upregulated in OLP and OED but downregulated in OSCC. The alteration in CD146 may be involved in the immunoregulatory response of OLP and the early event of oral carcinogenesis. The loss of this protein may underlie the progression of OED into invasive OSCC. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Overexpression of CD146 protein may play a role in the pathophysiology of OLP and OED.

Abstract
MCAM/CD146 (melanoma cell adhesion molecule/CD146) is a transmembrane immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion molecule involved in transendothelial migration and signal transduction. It is expressed in melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, prostatic, ovarian, cervical and endometrial cancers and promotes tumour growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. Melanoma is the most common malignant oral tumour of dogs and also arises in the skin, nail bed and footpad. The aim of this study was to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of MCAM/CD146 in 51 canine melanomas, including oral, cutaneous and ocular tumours. Seventeen of the 51 (33.3%) cases were negative, eight (15.7%) were weakly positive, seven (13.7%) were moderately positive and 19 (37.3%) were strongly positive. MCAM/CD146 was expressed by both oral and cutaneous melanomas; however, the intensity and the extent of the immunoreactivity was higher in oral (P = 0.009) than in cutaneous tumours (P = 0.058). Most ocular melanomas did not express MCAM/CD146 (P = 0.256). Expression of MCAM/CD146 by canine melanomas may suggest the molecule as a target for treatment, especially in oral melanomas.

Abstract
Background In this study, we investigated the effect of the extracellular matrix on
endothelial dysfunction by careful observation of human umbilical vein
endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured on denatured collagen film. Results HUVECs on denatured collagen film showed relatively high surface roughness
compared with normal HUVECs. The expression levels of MMP-1, MMP-2 and CD146
increased in the ECs on denatured collagen film. In addition, we examined
the accumulation of fluorescent beads on HUVEC layers subjected to
circulatory flow. The number of accumulated fluorescent beads increased on
the disorganized HUVEC layers. Conclusions The proposed in vitro study using bio-inspired collagen films could
potentially be used in the size- and ligand-based design of drugs to treat
endothelial dysfunction caused by circulatory vascular diseases.

Abstract
CD146 is a cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is primarily expressed at the intercellular junction of endothelial cells. CD146 was originally identified as a tumor marker for melanoma (MCAM) due to its existence only in melanoma but not in the corresponding normal counterpart. However CD146 is not just a CAM for the inter-cellular and cell-matrix adhesion. Recent evidence indicates that CD146 is actively involved in miscellaneous processes, such as development, signaling transduction, cell migration, mesenchymal stem cells differentiation, angiogenesis and immune response. CD146 has increasingly become an important molecule, especially identified as a novel bio-marker for angiogenesis and for cancer. Here we have reviewed the dynamic research of CD146, particularly newly identified functions and the underlying mechanisms of CD146.

Human CD133-derived bone marrow stromal cells establish ectopic hematopoietic microenvironments in immunodeficient mice. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2010; 400:212-8.

Abstract
Cultured adherent bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are capable of forming ectopic hematopoietic microenvironments (HMEs) in immunodeficient mice. However, the cell surface phenotype of the native bone marrow stem/progenitor cell that gives rise to BMSCs that support hematopoiesis remains poorly defined. We recently reported the derivation of human BMSC-like cells (CD133BMSCs) by magnetic cell sorting against Prominin-1 (CD133), an epitope expressed by embryonic, fetal, and adult stem cells. Here we demonstrate that CD133BMSCs are capable of forming ectopic HMEs. Cultured adherent CD133BMSCs derived from sorted CD133-positive cells lacked CD133 expression, but were uniformly positive for CD146, an epitope recently described to identify self-renewing osteoprogenitor cells that could transfer the HME. CD133BMSCs were genetically-tagged by lentivirus, expanded, and seeded into HA/TCP/fibrin constructs that were implanted subcutaneously. After 60days, CD133BMSCs produced human osteocytes, osteoblasts, adipocytes, and reticular cells that supported murine hematopoiesis. CD133BMSCs that were not transduced with lentivirus also formed HMEs. Control constructs seeded with human dermal fibroblasts formed connective tissue, but failed to form HMEs. Our data indicate that CD133 expression identifies a native human bone marrow stem/progenitor cell that gives rise to BMSCs capable of forming the HME.

Abstract
CD146, also known as melanoma cell adhesion molecule or MCAM, is a key cell adhesion protein in vascular endothelial cell activity and angiogenesis. CD146 promotes tumor progression of many cancers including melanoma and prostate. Strikingly, its expression is frequently lost in breast carcinoma cells, and it may act as a suppressor of breast cancer progression. While upstream mechanisms regulating CD146 are well documented, our understanding of the downstream molecular events underlying its mode of action remains to be elucidated. This review aims to focus on the progress in understanding the signaling mechanisms and the functional relevance of CD146, a multifaceted molecule, in cancer with particular emphasis on its role in inhibiting breast cancer progression.

Abstract
Two antibodies, BT14 and L101, detect a tumor-associated cell surface glycoprotein (gp130) whose properties in normal and diseased skin were assessed, and whose molecular identity was determined in this study. In normal skin, gp130 was constitutively expressed on dermal blood vessels and epidermal appendages, but not in interfollicular epidermis. Marked induction was detected within benign and malignant tumors of various origins including viral warts, basal cell carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, metastatic melanomas, and cutaneous T cell lymphomas. In vitro studies confirmed the general upregulation of gp130 expression in malignantly transformed cells. Surprisingly, gp130 was also induced in inflammatory skin diseases including psoriasis and allergic contact dermatitis. Halting proliferation of transformed keratinocytes through cytostatic drugs or increasing the Ca2+ concentration in the medium resulted in increased gp130 expression. In addition, overexpression of Bcl-2 led to upregulation of gp130. When the protein was purified and analyzed by peptide mass fingerprinting, we could demonstrate that it is MUC18 (Mel-CAM, CD146). Sequential immunoprecipitations and western blot analyses confirmed the identity of the antigen. Thus, both expression pattern and regulation characteristics of the now-known glycoprotein gp130 extended beyond previously published data regarding MUC18, thus shedding some new light on a supposedly well-known antigen.
