Expression of podoplanin in glial brain tumors is grade dependent. While serving as a marker for tumor progression and modulating invasion in various neoplasms, little is known about podoplanin function in gliomas. Therefore we stably transfected two human glioma cell lines (U373MG and U87MG) with expression plasmids encoding podoplanin. The efficacy of transfection was confirmed by FACS analysis, PCR and immunocytochemistry. Cells were then sorted for highly podoplanin expressing cells (U373Phigh/U87Phigh). Transfection did not influence the production of pro-angiogenic factors including VEGF, VEGF-C and D. Also, expression of VEGF receptors (VEGFR) remained unchanged except for U87Phigh, where a VEGFR3 expression was induced. U373Phigh showed significantly reduced proliferation as compared to mock transfected group. By contrast, podoplanin significantly increased migration and invasion into collagen matrix. Furthermore, conditioned media from Phigh glioma cells strongly induced tube formation on matrigel. In conclusion, podoplanin increased migration of tumor cells and enhanced tube formation activity in endothelial cells independent from VEGF. Thus, podoplanin expression may be an important step in tumor progression.
