The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of CD97 isoforms in gastric carcinoma. Out of four gastric cancer cell lines investigated, BGC-823 cells demonstrating low CD97 protein expression were stably transfected with pcDNA3.1 vector containing CD97/EGF1,2,5 or CD97/EGF1,2,3,4,5 inserts. Behavior of transfected cells was systematically investigated by employing proliferation, motility and invasive assays. As a result, we found that over-expression of CD97/EGF1,2,5 isoform correlated with increased motile and invasive ability of the clones. Furthermore, CD97/EGF1,2,5 isoform over-expression (3.8 times higher) was followed by significant decrease of CD97/EGF1,2,3,4,5 isoform (10.3 times lower). In contrast, CD97/EGF1,2,3,4,5 clones revealed significantly reduced invasive properties as compared with corresponding controls. The changes in acetylation status were one of the possible mechanisms affecting behavior of transfected cells. We concluded from the study that CD97 is closely related with advanced stages and higher invasiveness of gastric carcinoma. The study further lightened the tumor promoting role of CD97 small isoform in cancer progression and indicated the possible suppressive properties of the full length isoform of CD97.

Acceleration of tooth movement during orthodontic treatment is challenging, with osteoclast-mediated bone resorption on the compressive side being the rate-limiting step. Recent studies have demonstrated that mechanoreceptors on the surface of monocytes/macrophages, especially adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs), play important roles in force sensing. However, its role in the regulation of osteoclast differentiation remains unclear.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare but highly aggressive malignant tumor arising within the liver, with a 5-year survival rate of only 20-40% after surgery. The role of interleukin-8 (IL-8) in ICC progression remains elusive. A transcriptomic approach based on IL-8 stimulation first revealed significant upregulation of the prometastatic gene CD97 and key epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) factors E-cadherin and vimentin.

CD97, an adhesion G-protein coupled receptor highly expressed in glioblastoma (GBM), consists of two noncovalently bound domains: the N-terminal fragment (NTF) and C-terminal fragment. The C-terminal fragment contains a GPCR domain that couples to Gα, while the NTF interacts with extracellular matrix components and other receptors. We investigated the effects of changing CD97 levels and its function on primary patient-derived GBM stem cells (pdGSCs) in vitro and in vivo.

Objectives: Cellular interactions and cell adhesion underlie preeclampsia (PE). The aim of the current study is to investigate the role of cell adhesion molecules such as CD97, neural (N)-cadherin, epithelial (E) -cadherin and integrin beta-4 in PE.
Methods: This prospective study included 20 pregnant women with PE and a control group of 16 healthy pregnant women who were matched for age, gestational age, gravida and parity.
