Objectives: Podoplanin, a transmembrane sialomucin-like glycoprotein, is known to express at high frequency in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) and possess metastasis-promoting activity such as increased invasion and platelet-aggregating activity. However, the regulatory mechanism of podoplanin expression in OSCC remains unknown. Materials and Methods: In the present study, we investigated the podoplanin expression in both clinical specimens from total 80 patients (50 OSCC and 30 pharyngeal SCC) and in 4 OSCC cell lines in vitro. Results: Immunohistochemical analysis of surgically resected specimens of OSCC revealed podoplanin expression in 70% of OSCC cases with localization primarily in the basal layer of squamous cancer nest and the expression was inversely correlated with squamous cell differentiation. In vitro analysis of OSCC cell lines revealed 36 that podoplanin expression was decreased in response to the squamous cell differentiation (Cytokeratin 10 expression as a marker) induced by treatment with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors such as sodium butyrate and trichostatin. Furthermore, transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) significantly enhanced podoplanin expression in OSCC cell lines in line with increased phosphorylation of Smad2. A TGF-beta type I receptor inhibitor (SB431542) significantly inhibited such induction of podoplanin expression by TGF-beta at both the protein and mRNA level. However, in a subset of OSCC cell line, its expression was only weakly dependent on TGF-beta and squamous differentiation. Conclusion: These results suggest that regulation of podoplanin is not simple, but in the majority of OSCC cell lines, its expression is positively and negatively regulated by TGF-beta receptor/Smad signaling pathway and epigenetic mechanism leading to squamous differentiation, respectively.
