Here, we demonstrate the possible involvement of oxidative stress in altered CD13/aminopeptidase N (APN) expression during myeloid cell differentiation induced by TPA. In flow cytometrical analysis, CD13/APN protein was constitutively expressed in HL-60 cells. When the cells were treated with TPA, CD13/APN expression was up-regulated with increased intracellular peroxides and a morphological change into macrophage-like cells. This increase in CD13/APN expression was suppressed by treatment with N-acetylcysteine. Transfection of Mn-superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) gene to the cells also suppressed the up-regulated CD13/APN expression. Furthermore, a neutralizing antibody to TNFalpha partially blocked this up-regulation. These results indicate that the change in intracellular redox state could be involved in the up-regulation of CD13/APN expression during TPA-induced differentiation of HL-60 cells, suggesting that TNFalpha may serve as, at least, one of the signals stimulated by TPA.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) has caused significant economic losses to the pig farming industry in various countries for a long time. Currently, there are no highly effective preventive or control measures available. Research into the pathogenic mechanism of PEDV has shown that it primarily causes infection by binding the S protein to the CD13 (APN) receptor on the membrane of porcine intestinal epithelial cells.

Classically, ATM is known for its role in sensing double-strand DNA breaks, and subsequently signaling for their repair. Non-canonical roles of ATM include transcriptional silencing, ferroptosis, autophagy and angiogenesis. Angiogenesis mediated by ATM signaling has been shown to be VEGF-independent via p38 signaling.

Article Synopsis
- CD13 is a protein that seems to have important roles in glioma, a type of brain cancer, but its exact function is still unclear.
- Researchers looked at data from glioma patients to see how the levels of CD13 affected their survival, finding that higher CD13 levels were linked to worse outcomes.
- Experiments on glioma cells showed that blocking CD13 with a drug called bestatin made the cancer cells grow less and die more, suggesting CD13 is important for glioma growth and patient survival.
Aims: To determine the significance of CD13/aminopeptidase N (APN) in systemic Lupus Erythromatus (SLE), we examined its catalytic activity and mRNA expression level in sera and peripheral whole blood cells of patients with SLE.
Methods: In this study, 47 SLE patients and 44 age, sex matched healthy controls were included. The SLE disease activity index score and clinical finding including renal involvement and blood pressure were recorded.

CD13/APN (aminopeptidase N) was first identified as a selective angiogenic marker expressed in tumor vasculature and is considered a target for anti-cancer therapy. CD13 was also reported to express in non-diabetic, hypoxia-induced retinal neovascularization. Whether diabetes induces upregulation of CD13 expression in the retina is unknown.
