| Abstract: Podoplanin (D2-40) was shown to be expressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) of various malignancies. The study aimed at examining its impact on angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis markers in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast (IDC). The studies were performed on 104 archival cases of IDC using immunohistochemical technique. Podoplanin expression in CAFs correlated positively with cancer cell VEGF-C expression (r=0.19, p=0.0495) and intratumoral microvessel count (MVC) of CD31 positive vessels (r=0.30, p=0.0018), whereas negative correlations were observed with peritumoral MVC of D2-40 and Lyve-1 positive lymphatic vessels (r=-0.26, p=0.008 and r=-0.27, p=0.0058, respectively). Podoplanin expression in CAFs did not correlate with VEGF-A and VEGF-D expression in cancer cells, nor exerted any prognostic significance. Podoplanin expression in CAFs may have impact on angio- and lymphangiogenesis processes in IDC. |
