Abstract
T cells use finger-like protrusions called 'microvilli' to interrogate their targets, but why they do so is unknown. To form contacts, T cells must overcome the highly charged, barrier-like layer of large molecules forming a target cell's glycocalyx. Here, T cells are observed to use microvilli to breach a model glycocalyx barrier, forming numerous small (<0.5 μm diameter) contacts each of which is stabilized by the small adhesive protein CD2 expressed by the T cell, and excludes large proteins including CD45, allowing sensitive, antigen dependent TCR signaling. In the absence of the glycocalyx or when microvillar contact-size is increased by enhancing CD2 expression, strong signaling occurs that is no longer antigen dependent. Our observations suggest that, modulated by the opposing effects of the target cell glycocalyx and small adhesive proteins, the use of microvilli equips T cells with the ability to effect discriminatory receptor signaling.

Abstract
Glycosylation, and especially O-linked glycosylation, remains a critical blind spot in the understanding of post-translational modifications. Due to their nature as proteins defined by a large density and abundance of O-glycosylation, mucins present extra challenges in the analysis of their structure and function. However, recent breakthroughs in multiple areas of research have rendered mucin-domain glycoproteins more accessible to current characterization techniques. In particular, the adaptation of mucinases to glycoproteomic workflows, the manipulation of cellular glycosylation pathways, and the advances in synthetic methods to more closely mimic mucin domains have introduced new and exciting avenues to study mucin glycoproteins. Here, we summarize recent developments in understanding the structure and biological function of mucin domains and their associated glycans, from glycoproteomic tools and visualization methods to synthetic glycopeptide mimetics.

Abstract
Peritoneal surface malignancies comprise a heterogeneous group of primary tumours, including peritoneal mesothelioma, and peritoneal metastases of other tumours, including ovarian, gastric, colorectal, appendicular or pancreatic cancers. The pathophysiology of peritoneal malignancy is complex and not fully understood. The two main hypotheses are the transformation of mesothelial cells (peritoneal primary tumour) and shedding of cells from a primary tumour with implantation of cells in the peritoneal cavity (peritoneal metastasis). Diagnosis is challenging and often requires modern imaging and interventional techniques, including surgical exploration. In the past decade, new treatments and multimodal strategies helped to improve patient survival and quality of life and the premise that peritoneal malignancies are fatal diseases has been dismissed as management strategies, including complete cytoreductive surgery embedded in perioperative systemic chemotherapy, can provide cure in selected patients. Furthermore, intraperitoneal chemotherapy has become an important part of combination treatments. Improving locoregional treatment delivery to enhance penetration to tumour nodules and reduce systemic uptake is one of the most active research areas. The current main challenges involve not only offering the best treatment option and developing intraperitoneal therapies that are equivalent to current systemic therapies but also defining the optimal treatment sequence according to primary tumour, disease extent and patient preferences. New imaging modalities, less invasive surgery, nanomedicines and targeted therapies are the basis for a new era of intraperitoneal therapy and are beginning to show encouraging outcomes.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), is the most frequent soft tissue tumor in children that originates from disturbances in differentiation process. Mechanisms leading to the development of RMS are still poorly understood. Therefore, by analysis of two RMS RH30 cell line subclones, one subclone PAX7 negative, while the second one PAX7 positive, and comparison with other RMS cell lines we aimed at identifying new mechanisms crucial for RMS progression. RH30 subclones were characterized by the same STR profile, but different morphology, rate of proliferation, migration activity and chemotactic abilities in vitro, as well as differences in tumor morphology and growth in vivo. Our analysis indicated a different level of expression of adhesion molecules (e.g., from VLA and ICAM families), myogenic microRNAs, such as miR-206 and transcription factors, such as MYOD, MYOG, SIX1, and ID. Silencing of PAX7 transcription factor with siRNA confirmed the crucial role of PAX7 transcription factor in proliferation, differentiation and migration of RMS cells. To conclude, our results suggest that tumor cell lines with the same STR profile can produce subclones that differ in many features and indicate crucial roles of PAX7 and ID proteins in the development of RMS.

Abstract
Cell-cell contact participates in the process of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-mediated T cell modulation and thus contributes to MSC-based therapies for various inflammatory diseases, especially T cell-mediated diseases. However, the mechanisms underlying the adhesion interactions between MSCs and T cells are still poorly understood. In this study, we explored the interaction between MSCs and T cells and found that activated T cells could rapidly adhere to MSCs, leading to significant reduction of TNF-α and IFN-γ mRNA expression. Furthermore, TCR-proximal signaling in activated T cells was also dramatically suppressed in the MSC co-culture, resulting in weakened Ca2+ signaling. MSCs rapidly suppressed TCR signaling and its downstream signaling in a cell-cell contact-dependent manner, partially through the ICAM-1/CD43 adhesion interaction. Blockade of either ICAM-1 on MSCs or CD43 on T cells significantly reversed this rapid suppression of proinflammatory cytokine expression in T cells. Mechanistically, MSC-derived ICAM-1 likely disrupts CD43-mediated TCR microcluster formation to limit T cell activation. Taken together, our results reveal a fast mechanism of activated T cell inhibition by MSCs, which provides new clues to unravel the MSC-mediated immunoregulatory mechanism for aGVHD and other severe acute T cell-related diseases.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the USA, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) constitutes 85% of pancreatic cancer diagnoses. PDA frequently metastasizes to the peritoneum, but effective treatment of peritoneal metastasis remains a clinical challenge. Despite this unmet need, understanding of the biological mechanisms that contribute to development and progression of PDA peritoneal metastasis is sparse. By contrast, a vast number of studies have investigated mechanisms of peritoneal metastasis in ovarian and gastric cancers. Here, we contrast similarities and differences between peritoneal metastasis in PDA as compared with those in gastric and ovarian cancer by outlining molecular mediators involved in each step of the peritoneal metastasis cascade. This review aims to provide mechanistic insights that could be translated into effective targeted therapies for patients with peritoneal metastasis from PDA.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) metastasizes intra-abdominally with often numerous, superficial, small-sized lesions. This so-called peritoneal carcinomatosis is difficult to treat, and peritoneal recurrences are frequently observed, leading to a poor prognosis. Underlying mechanisms of interactions between EOC and peritoneal cells are incompletely understood. This review summarizes and discusses the development of peritoneal carcinomatosis from a cell-biological perspective, focusing on characteristics of EOC and peritoneal cells. We aim to provide insight into how peritoneum facilitates tumor adhesion but limits size of lesions and depth of invasion. The development of peritoneal carcinomatosis is a multistep process that requires adaptations of EOC and peritoneal cells. Mechanisms that enable tumor adhesion and growth involve cadherin restructuring on EOC cells, integrin-mediated adhesion, and mesothelial evasion by mechanical forces driven by integrin-ligand interactions. Clinical trials targeting these mechanisms, however, showed only limited effects. Other factors that inhibit tumor growth and deep invasion are virtually unknown. Future studies are needed to elucidate the exact mechanisms that underlie the development and limited growth of peritoneal carcinomatosis. This review on development of peritoneal carcinomatosis of EOC summarizes the current knowledge and its limitations. Clarification of the stepwise process may inspire future research to investigate new treatment approaches of peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Abstract
Introduction The development of peritoneal metastases is a significant clinical issue in the treatment of abdominal cancers and is associated with poor prognosis. We have previously shown that ICAM-1-CD43 interaction plays a significant role in tumor adhesion. However, an invasive phenotype is critical to establish tumor progression via cell associated and secreted proteases including matrix metalloproteinases. High metalloproteinases level significantly enhanced metastasis phenotype on tumors, a detrimental effect on surgical outcome. We investigated the role of direct and indirect signaling between the mesothelium and the tumor cells in enhancing tumor invasion and possible therapeutic intervention. Methods Mesothelial cells were enzymatically derived from human omental tissue and implanted in 24 wells plates. Colorectal cancer cells were then introduced and allowed a direct and an indirect contact with the mesothelial layer. Anti-ICAM antibodies, anti-CD43 antibodies, and heparin were used to block MMP production. Gelatin zymography was performed on the supernatant to detect MMPs activity. Results MMP production was observed in mesothelial and tumor cells. Direct contact between cell types enhanced MMP9 and 2 (p < 0.05). Indirect contact also stimulate MMPs but at a lower degree. ICAM-1 blocking antibodies attenuated MMP production in direct contact to that observed in the indirect. Heparin introduction achieved a similar outcome. Conclusions ICAM-1-CD43 interaction plays a vital role in tumor cells-peritoneum adhesion and invasion, which is manifested by the increased production of MMPs leading to tumor invasion and peritoneal loco-regional. Blocking this interaction with heparin can provide a new therapeutic option.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stage IV colorectal cancer encompasses various clinical conditions. The differences in prognosis after surgery between different metastatic organs have not been fully investigated. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess prognostic significance in peritoneal metastasis in R0 resected stage IV colorectal cancer. DESIGN We conducted a multicenter retrospective study of patients with R0 resected stage IV colorectal cancer; they were categorized into 3 groups according to the number and location of metastatic organs, including single-organ metastasis in the peritoneum, single-organ metastasis at sites except the peritoneum, and multiple-organ metastases. SETTINGS This study used data accumulated by the Japanese Study Group for Postoperative Follow-Up of Colorectal Cancer. PATIENTS A total of 1133 patients with R0 resected stage IV colorectal cancer were registered retrospectively between 1997 and 2007 in 20 referral hospitals. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Cancer-specific survival rates between the groups were measured. RESULTS The median cancer-specific survival of the single-organ metastasis in the peritoneum group was considerably shorter than that of the single-organ metastasis at a site other than the peritoneum group and was almost comparable to that of the multiple-organ metastases group (3.41 years, 6.20 years, and 2.99 years). In a multivariate analysis of cancer-specific survival, peritoneal dissemination was confirmed as an independent prognostic factor of survival. The median postrecurrence survival of single-organ metastasis in the peritoneum group was considerably shorter than that of the single-organ metastasis at a site other than the peritoneum group. Approximately half of the patients who experienced recurrence of single-organ metastasis in the peritoneum experienced peritoneal recurrence. LIMITATIONS This was a retrospective, population-based study that requires a prospective design to validate its conclusions. CONCLUSIONS Peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer frequently recurred in the peritoneum even after R0 resection. The cancer-specific survival of the single-organ metastasis in the peritoneum group was as poor as that of the multiple-organ metastases group. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A398.

Abstract
Adhesion of cancer cells to endothelial cells is a key step in cancer metastasis; therefore, identifying the key molecules involved during this process promises to aid in efforts to block the metastatic cascade. We have previously shown that intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expressed by endothelial cells is involved in the interactions of bladder cancer cells (BCs) with the endothelium. However, the ICAM-1 ligands have never been investigated. In this study, we combined adhesion assays and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to identify the ligands involved and to quantify the forces relevant in such interactions. We report the expression of MUC1 and CD43 on BCs, and demonstrate that these ligands interact with ICAM-1 to mediate cancer cell-endothelial cell adhesion in the case of the more invasive BCs. This was achieved with the use of adhesion assays, which showed a strong decrease in the attachment of BCs to endothelial cells when MUC1 and CD43 were blocked by antibodies. In addition, AFM measurements showed a similar decrease, by up to 70%, in the number of rupture events that occurred when MUC1 and CD43 were blocked. When we applied a Gaussian mixture model to the AFM data, we observed a distinct force range for receptor-ligand bonds, which allowed us to precisely identify the interactions of ICAM-1 with MUC1 or CD43. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the rupture events suggested that CD43 is strongly connected to the cytoskeleton and that its interaction with ICAM-1 mainly corresponds to force ramps followed by sudden jumps. In contrast, MUC1 seems to be weakly connected to the cytoskeleton, as its interactions with ICAM-1 are mainly associated with the formation of tethers. This analysis is quite promising and may also be applied to other types of cancer cells.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Besides the lymphatic and haematogenous routes of dissemination, CRC frequently gives rise to transcoelomic spread of tumor cells in the peritoneal cavity, which ultimately leads to peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). PC is associated with a poor prognosis and bad quality of life for these patients in their terminal stages of disease. A loco-regional treatment modality for PC combining cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal peroperative chemotherapy has resulted in promising clinical results. However, this novel approach is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A comprehensive understanding of the molecular events involved in peritoneal disease spread is paramount in avoiding unnecessary toxicity. The emergence of PC is the result of a molecular crosstalk between cancer cells and host elements, involving several well-defined steps, together known as the peritoneal metastatic cascade. Individual or clumps of tumor cells detach from the primary tumor, gain access to the peritoneal cavity and become susceptible to the regular peritoneal transport. They attach to the distant peritoneum, subsequently invade the subperitoneal space, where angiogenesis sustains proliferation and enables further metastatic growth. These molecular events are not isolated events but rather a continuous and interdependent process. In this manuscript, we review current data regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of colorectal PC, with a special focus on the peritoneum and the role of the surgeon in peritoneal disease spread.

Abstract
Peritoneal dissemination is diagnosed in 10–25 % of colorectal cancer patients. Selected patients are treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. For these patients, earlier diagnosis, optimised selection criteria and a personalised approach are warranted. Biomarkers could play a crucial role here. However, little is known about possible candidates. Considering tumour cell adhesion as a key step in peritoneal dissemination, we aim to provide an overview of the functional importance of adhesion molecules in peritoneal dissemination and discuss the prognostic, diagnostic and therapeutic options of these candidate biomarkers. A systematic literature search was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. In 132 in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo studies published between 1995 and 2013, we identified twelve possibly relevant adhesion molecules in various cancers that disseminate peritoneally. The most studied molecules in tumour cell adhesion are integrin α2β1, CD44 s and MUC16. Furthermore, L1CAM, EpCAM, MUC1, sLex and Lex, chemokine receptors, Betaig-H3 and uPAR might be of clinical importance. ICAM1 was found to be less relevant in tumour cell adhesion in the context of peritoneal metastases. Based on currently available data, sLea and MUC16 are the most promising prognostic biomarkers for colorectal peritoneal metastases that may help improve patient selection. Different adhesion molecules appear expressed in haematogenous and transcoelomic spread, indicating two different attachment processes. However, our extensive assessment of available literature reveals that knowledge on metastasis-specific genes and their possible candidates is far from complete.

CD43 expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified: CD43 is a marker of adverse prognosis. Hum Pathol 2015; 46:593-9. [PMID: 25682152 DOI: 10.1016/j.humpath.2015.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2014] [Revised: 12/24/2014] [Accepted: 01/02/2015] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
CD43 (leukosialin) is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in a variety of hematopoietic cells, including B lymphocytes, and a variety of malignancies including lymphoma, leukemia, and solid tumors. CD43 plays an important role in the development of many diseases, and coexpression of CD43 and CD20 on peripheral B cells is a predictive factor of hematopoietic malignancy. Although CD43 is expressed in approximately 25% of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs), its prognostic significance remains unclear. To analyze CD43 expression in DLBCL, not otherwise specified (DLBCL, NOS), and assess its prognostic value, we analyzed clinical data from 160 patients with DLBCL, NOS. We observed that CD43 expression was detected in 47 (29.4%) of 160 cases. CD43 expression was positively correlated with old age (>60 years), high serum lactate dehydrogenase level, B symptoms, non-germinal center type, and DLBCL, NOS, mortality. Patients with CD43-positive DLBCL, NOS, had poorer overall survival (P < .001, log-rank test) and event-free survival (P < .001, log-rank test) than CD43-negative patients. Univariate analysis showed that CD43 expression, age, sex, Ann Arbor stage, International Prognostic Index category, and germinal center phenotype were prognostic factors for DLBCL, NOS, patient survival. Multivariate analysis showed that CD43 expression was an independent significant prognostic factor for event-free survival (P < .001) and overall survival (P < .001). Based on these data, we conclude that CD43 expression is a novel adverse prognostic factor for patients with DLBCL, NOS.

Aberrant glycosylation as biomarker for cancer: focus on CD43. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:742831.

Abstract
Glycosylation is a posttranslational modification of proteins playing a major role in cell signalling, immune recognition, and cell-cell interaction because of their glycan branches conferring structure variability and binding specificity to lectin ligands. Aberrant expression of glycan structures as well as occurrence of truncated structures, precursors, or novel structures of glycan may affect ligand-receptor interactions and thus interfere with regulation of cell adhesion, migration, and proliferation. Indeed, aberrant glycosylation represents a hallmark of cancer, reflecting cancer-specific changes in glycan biosynthesis pathways such as the altered expression of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases. Most studies have been carried out to identify changes in serum glycan structures. In most cancers, fucosylation and sialylation are significantly modified. Thus, aberrations in glycan structures can be used as targets to improve existing serum cancer biomarkers. The ability to distinguish differences in the glycosylation of proteins between cancer and control patients emphasizes glycobiology as a promising field for potential biomarker identification. In this review, we discuss the aberrant protein glycosylation associated with human cancer and the identification of protein glycoforms as cancer biomarkers. In particular, we will focus on the aberrant CD43 glycosylation as cancer biomarker and the potential to exploit the UN1 monoclonal antibody (UN1 mAb) to identify aberrant CD43 glycoforms.

Abstract
In normal tissues, strict control of tissue size is achieved by regulating cell numbers. The mechanism that controls total cell number is known as contact inhibition of growth and it depends on the NF2/Merlin pathway. Negative regulation of this pathway by deleterious mutations or by oncogenes results in cell transformation and tumor progression. Here we provide evidence that the CD43 sialomucin cooperates with oncogenic signals to promote cell transformation by abrogating the contact inhibition of growth through a molecular mechanism that involves AKT-dependent Merlin phosphorylation and degradation. Accordingly, inhibition of endogenous CD43 expression by RNA interference in lung, cervix and colon human cancer cells impaired tumor growth in vivo. These data underscore a previously unidentified role for CD43 in non-hematopoietic tumor progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastasis occurs in up to 30% of patients with gastric cancer. The aim of this experimental study is to develop and validate a novel ex vivo model of the human peritoneum to better identify factors involved in the development of peritoneal metastasis in order to improve its management and prognosis. METHODS Peritoneal discs harvested from hernia sacs obtained at inguinal hernia surgery were suspended in media using Teflon rings. Viability of the tissue was investigated using MTS assay, light and scanning electron microscopy (LM and SEM) over 72 h. To assess validity of the model, phenotypic changes in tumor cells were investigated. Changes in matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 and -9 activities in HGC and AGS gastric adenocarcinoma cells after co-culture were investigated using zymography. Modulation of tumor cell adhesion to peritoneum after exposure to heparin was assessed using a fluorometric adhesion assay. Analysis was performed using Kruskal-Wallis for multiple comparisons and Mann-Witney U for comparisons between each group. RESULTS MTS assay showed reduced viability after 72 h (P = 0.047, compared with 24 h). Mesothelial cell loss at 48 h was demonstrated by LM and SEM, confirming peritoneal viability for at least 24 h after tissue harvesting. Zymography confirmed increased MMP2 and -9 activities in tumor cells and peritoneal tissue during co-culture compared with controls, and heparin significantly reduced tumor cell adherence (P = 0.04), as observed in published in vivo models. CONCLUSION A validated complete model of peritoneum was developed that has shown potential to determine realistic mechanisms of peritoneal metastasis.

Abstract
Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) has been implicated in adhesion of colorectal and pancreatic cancer cells (of the SW480 and PSN-1 line, respectively) to the peritoneal mesothelium. It has been demonstrated that ICAM-1 expression increases with senescence in some cell types, however, the significance of this phenomenon in the context of malignant dissemination remains elusive. In this report we show that the adherence of SW480 and PSN-1 cells to senescent human omentum-derived mesothelial cells (HOMCs) in vitro is greater than to early-passage cells and that the effect is mediated by ICAM-1. Senescent HOMCs display increased expression of ICAM-1 mRNA and cell surface protein. The development of this phenotype is related to increased oxidative stress in senescent cells. The augmented ICAM-1 expression in HOMCs can be reduced by culturing cells with antioxidants; in contrast, exposure of HOMCs to an oxidant, t-BHP, leads to cellular senescence and increased ICAM-1 expression. The effect is partly mediated by activation of p38 MAPK and AP-1 signaling pathways. Finally, culture of HOMCs in the presence of a strong antioxidant, PBN, significantly reduces the senescence-associated increase in SW480 and PSN-1 cancer cell binding. These results indicate that increased oxidative stress and increased expression of ICAM-1 in senescent HOMCs may facilitate peritoneal adhesion of selected colorectal and pancreatic cancers.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the salivary gland is characterized by a prolonged but inevitably unfavorable clinical course. Recent studies have suggested that the transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor, c-kit proto-oncogene is involved in ACC pathogenesis. CD43 is a sialoglycoprotein that is typically expressed by hematopoietic cells and their derivative neoplasms, although positivity in epithelial tumors has only been recognized recently. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate c-kit and CD43 immunoreactivity in ACCs and to compare the extent of their expression in various histologically defined subgroups of ACC, and their probable involvement in ACC pathogenesis. STUDY DESIGN Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections from 35 ACCs were immunostained for c-kit and CD43 using monoclonal antibodies. RESULTS Cytoplasmic and membranous c-kit immunoreactivity was detected in 25/35 ACCs (71.4%) with strong immunostaining observed in solid pattern of ACC. Cytoplasmic and membranous CD43 immunoreactivity was detected in 18/35 (51.4%) of ACCs with strong immunostaining seen in the cribriform pattern. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that c-kit could be used as a prognostic marker for ACC and specific c-kit tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib, might be used in future therapeutic approaches against subgroups of ACC. CD43 appears to be preferentially expressed in salivary gland ACCs. Its expression decreased with cellular dedifferentiation and there was an inverse relationship between immunoexpression of c-kit and CD43 among ACC of salivary gland.

Abstract
Extracellular galectin-3 participates in the control of B2 lymphocyte migration and adhesion and of their differentiation into plasma cells. Here, we analyzed the role of galectin-3 in B1-cell physiology and the balance between B1a and B1b lymphocytes in the peritoneal cavity. In galectin-3(-/-) mice, the total number of B1a lymphocytes was lower, while B1b lymphocyte number was higher as compared to wild-type mice. The differentiation of B1a cells into plasma cells was associated with their abnormal adhesion and location on the mesentery. The B220 and CD43, constitutively expressed by B1 lymphocytes, were respectively up- and downregulated in galectin-3(-/-) mice. Mononuclear cells were strongly adhered to the mesenteric membranes of both CD43(-/-) and galectin-3(-/-) mice, but in contrast to CD43(-/-) mice, the accumulation of B1 cells in peritoneal membranes in galectin-3(-/-) mice was accompanied by their functional differentiation into plasma cells. We have shown that in the absence of galectin-3, B1-cell differentiation into plasma cells is favored and the dynamic equilibrium of B1-cell populations in the peritoneum is maintained through a compensatory increase in B1b lymphocytes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CD43 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed in different hematopoietic cells, including some subsets of B lymphocytes. About a quarter of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) express CD43, but its prognostic significance is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the prognostic effect of immunohistochemically determined CD43 expression in 119 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL. All were treated with CHOP (cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/vincristine/prednisone)-like chemotherapy, 57 without and 62 with rituximab. RESULTS A total of 31 DLBCL cases (26%) expressed CD43. Patients with CD43+ and CD43- lymphomas did not differ regarding sex, International Prognostic Index (IPI) factors and score, rituximab treatment, presence of bulky disease, or germinal center subtype. Median follow-up was 45 months. Patients with CD43+ DLBCL had significantly lower complete response rates (59% vs. 80%; P = .019), 2-year event-free survival (EFS) rates (34% vs. 64%; P = .003), and overall survival (OS) rates (45% vs. 76%; P = .002). The prognostic significance of CD43 expression was retained in multivariate analysis (relative risk [RR] 2.04; P = .013 for EFS; RR 2.17; P = .016 for OS). In subgroup analysis, the effect of CD43 expression was significant in patients treated with rituximab and those with low IPI, whereas it was not reached in patients treated without rituximab. The effect was not observed in patients with high IPI. CONCLUSION These results indicate that CD43 expression is an important independent adverse prognostic factor in DLBCL.

Abstract
Roughly one in five patients with colorectal cancer develops peritoneal minimal residual disease after surgical resection, and about one in seven patients develops peritoneal carcinomatosis. By contrast with the vast body of research addressing haematogenous metastasis, little is known about the biology of peritoneal spread of colorectal cancer. The development of peritoneal carcinomatosis involves well-defined steps including cell shedding and transport, adhesion to the mesothelial layer, invasion of and proliferation into the submesothelial stroma, and potential access to the systemic circulation. In this Review, we summarise the molecular mechanisms and potential preventive measures associated with each step of the peritoneal metastatic cascade.

Abstract
To understand the mechanisms underlying bone marrow metastasis precisely, we established the highly metastatic 4T1E/M3 murine breast cancer cell line. 4T1 murine breast cancer cells were transfected with the neomycin resistance gene, selected in G418, intravenously injected into mice, and harvested from bone marrow. By repeating this protocol three times, we established the 4T1E/M3 cells. The clonality of 4T1E/M3 cells was markedly high confirmed by genomic southern analysis using neo-gene probe. When tissues harvested from mice after intravenous injection of 4T1E/M3 cells were examined histologically, markedly enhanced bone marrow metastasis was observed; 77% of spines from 4T1E/M3-injected mouse showed metastasis as compared to 14% metastasis seen with the parent cells. In vitro, 4T1E/M3 cells attached more strongly to the plastic plate and to bone marrow-derived endothelial cells. DNA micro arrays, real time RT-PCR and FACS analyses revealed that the expression of ICAM-1 and beta2 integrin was upregulated in 4T1E/M3 cells at both the mRNA and cell surface protein levels. 4T1E/M3 cells also showed greater anchorage-independent proliferation in soft agar, and migrated markedly faster than the parent cells in wound healing assays. Anti-ICAM-1 antibodies strongly inhibited both the colony formation and the migration activity of 4T1E/M3 suggesting the importance of the role of ICAM-1. Our newly established highly metastatic 4T1E/M3 cells may provide a potentially powerful tool to study the molecular mechanisms of bone marrow metastasis and to identify new molecular targets for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
CD43 is a highly glycosylated transmembrane protein expressed on the surface of most hematopoietic cells. Expression of CD43 has also been demonstrated in many human tumor tissues, including colon adenomas and carcinomas, but not in normal colon epithelium. The potential contribution of CD43 to tumor development is still not understood. Here, we show that overexpression of CD43 increases cell growth and colony formation in mouse and human cells lacking expression of either p53 or ARF (alternative reading frame) tumor-suppressor proteins. In addition, CD43 overexpression also lowers the detection of the FAS death receptor on the cell surface of human cancer cells, and thereby helps to evade FAS-mediated apoptosis. However, when both p53 and ARF proteins are present, CD43 overexpression activates p53 and suppresses colony formation due to induction of apoptosis. These observations suggest CD43 as a potential contributor to tumor development and the functional ARF-p53 pathway is required for the elimination of cells with aberrant CD43 expression.

Abstract
Postoperative peritoneal carcinomatosis is a significant clinical problem after "curative" resection of pancreatic carcinoma. Preoperative surgical trauma activates a cascade of peritoneal defense mechanisms responsible for postoperative intra-abdominal tumor recurrence. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a pivotal role in this postoperative inflammatory reaction. This study explores the influence of ROS on adhesion of human pancreatic carcinoma cells to human mesothelial cells. Furthermore this study explores the influence of ROS on the presentation of adhesion molecules on Panc-1 and mesothelial cells. ROS were produced using the enzymatic reaction of xanthine with xanthine oxidase (X/XO). A reproducible in vitro assay to study adhesion of human Panc-1 carcinoma tumor cells to a mesothelial cell monolayer of primary human mesothelial cells was used. Mesothelial monolayers were incubated with ROS produced prior to adhesion of the tumor cells. Incubation of the mesothelial cells with X/XO resulted in a significant increase (69.5%) in adhesion of Panc-1 in all patients. SOD/catalase, anti-oxidants, could reduce this increase by 56.7%. ROS significantly influenced the expression of the adhesion molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and CD44h on mesothelial cells, but did not influence adhesion molecule expression on Panc-1. The ROS released during the post-operative inflammatory reaction may play an important role in the adhesion of pancreatic tumor cells to the mesothelium-possibly by influencing adhesion molecule expression on mesothelial cells. Therefore ROS can partly be responsible for the enhanced post-operative intra-abdominal tumor recurrence.

Abstract
This study was designed to identify the cell surface protein markers that can differentiate between chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and acute promyelocytic leukemia cells (APL). The differentially expressed plasma membrane proteins were analyzed between CML cell line (K562) and APL cell line (NB4) using the comparative proteomic approach. The cell membrane proteins were enriched by labeling with a membrane-impermeable biotinylation reagent, sulfo-NHS-SS-Biotin, and subjected to liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). By comparative proteomic analysis of K562 and NB4 cells, we identified 25 membrane and 14 membrane-associated proteins. The result of LC-MS/MS combined with chemical tagging method was validated by confirming the expression and localization of one of the differentially expressed plasma membrane proteins, CD43, by FACS and confocal microscopy. Our results indicate that CD43 could be a potential candidate for differentiating CML from APL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Distinguishing between adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA), and monomorphic adenoma (MA) can occasionally pose a diagnostic challenge. It is of interest to identify a marker that can differentiate between these tumors. CD43 is a sialoglycoprotein that is typically expressed by hematopoietic cells and their derivative neoplasms, although positivity in epithelial tumors has been recently recognized. Our aim was to investigate CD43 immunoreactivity in ACCs, PLGAs, and MAs. STUDY DESIGN Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections from 40 salivary gland tumors (12 ACCs, 14 PLGAs, and 14 MAs) accessioned from 1989 to 2002 were retrieved from the files at the Department of Pathology, Long Island Jewish Medical Center. Immunohistochemical staining with anti-CD43 monoclonal antibody was performed. RESULTS Cytoplasmic and membranous immunoreactivity was detected in 12/12 ACCs (100%), 1/14 PLGAs (7.1%), and 3/14 MAs (21.4%). CONCLUSIONS CD43 appears to be preferentially expressed in salivary gland ACCs compared to PLGAs and MAs. Although the mechanism of this overexpression remains obscure at this time, our results suggest that the use of CD43 immunostaining as an adjunct to histological examination may be helpful in differentiating ACC from its mimics.

Abstract
CD43 is a sialylated glycoprotein expressed on the surface of most haemopoietic cells and has been implicated in cell adhesion and signaling. It has previously been shown that CD43 expression is altered in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This raised the question of whether the alteration is associated with transfusions in these patients. We studied the expression of this antigen on peripheral blood leucocytes in two groups of patients with refractory anaemia, 22 transfused and 20 non-transfused. We found decreased expression of CD43 on the monocytes and neutrophils of patients receiving transfusions. Other activation molecules were studied (CD11b, CD18) and were found up-regulated suggesting the existence of activated leucocytes in these patients. The increased levels of soluble vascular cellular endothelial molecule after transfusions in these patients suggested vascular endothelial activation in the absence of infection. Given together, these results show that decreased CD43 in the transfused group of MDS patients is associated with an activated endothelial phenotype.

Abstract
Development of peritoneal metastasis is a significant issue in the treatment of abdominal cancers. Primary interaction between tumour cells and the mesothelium is a vital step in initiating this process. Our aim was to determine the role of the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in mesothelial-tumour adhesion and the effectiveness of therapeutic intervention. Mesothelial cells were derived from omental tissue. ICAM-1 expression in resting state, in the presence of TNF-alpha or after the application of heparin or hyaluronan was determined by flow cytometry. Functional effects on tumour adhesion to a mesothelial monolayer were determined via a Calcein-AM in vitro adhesion assay. In vivo studies were performed utilising 30 WAG/rij rats, which underwent mini-laparotomy with the injection of 1 x 10(5 )CC 513 tumour cells intraperitoneally. Tumour growth was assessed macroscopically and microscopically by two independent examiners. Mesothelial cells expressed high level of ICAM-1, which was up-regulated by the presence of TNF-alpha. The introduction of heparin caused a decrease in ICAM-1 expression, however hyaluronan did not affect the expression. A significant decrease in tumour-mesothelial cell adhesion in vitro and complete aberration of tumour growth in vivo was observed with heparin application. In vitro studies showed utilisation of high molecular weight hyaluronan, which was more limited in vivo. These data imply that heparin may be used as a potential therapeutic through a defined molecular mechanism both in vitro and in vivo. Hyaluronan appears to function as a barrier and hence may be unreliable in blocking peritoneal recurrence.

Abstract
The recruitment of memory T cells from blood into tissues is a central element of immune surveillance and adaptive immune responses and a key feature of chronic cutaneous inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Human memory T cells that infiltrate skin express the carbohydrate epitope cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA). Expression of the CLA epitope on T cells has been described on P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and associated with the acquisition of both E-selectin and P-selectin ligand functions. In this report, we show that CD43, a sialomucin expressed constitutively on T cells, can also be decorated with the CLA epitope and serve as an E-selectin ligand. CLA expressed on CD43 was found exclusively on the high-molecular-weight (125 kDa) glycoform bearing core-2-branched O-linked glycans. CLA+ CD43 purified from human T cells supported tethering and rolling in shear flow via E-selectin but did not support binding of P-selectin. The identification and characterization of CD43 as a T-cell E-selectin ligand distinct from PSGL-1 expands the role of CD43 in the regulation of T-cell trafficking and provides new targets for the modulation of immune functions in skin.
