In this study, we accessed the expression and correlation of p-STAT3 with Survivin, Cyclin D1, CD147, Slug and Ki67 by immunohistochemical staining of human tissue microarray which contains 72 adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC), 12 pleomorphic adenoma (PMA) and 18 normal salivary gland (NSG) using digital pathological scanner and scoring system. We found that the expression of p-STAT3, Survivin, Slug, Cyclin D1 and CD147 was significantly increased in AdCC as compared with PMA and (or) NSG (p<0.05). While, the level of p-STAT3 and expression of Cyclin D1 and CD147 was not associated with pathological type of human AdCC (p>0.05). Correlation analysis of these proteins revealed that p-STAT3 up-regulates the expression of Survivin, Slug, Cyclin D1 and CD147 (p<0.05). Moreover, the activation of STAT3 was associated with proliferation marker Ki-67 (p<0.05). Selective inhibition of STAT3 by a small molecule S3I-201 significantly reduced human SACC-83 and SACC-LM cells proliferation, migration and invasion with the corresponding decrease in expression of Survivin, Slug, Cyclin D1 and CD147. These findings indicate that high phosphorylation level of STAT3 in AdCC is related to Survivin, Slug, Cyclin D1 and CD147. We suggest that the inhibition of STAT3 may be a novel strategy for neoadjuvant chemotherapeutic treatment of AdCC.

Comparative cancer studies help us determine if discoveries in one species apply to another. Feline and human oral squamous cell carcinoma (FOSCC and HOSCC) are invasive tumours in which inflammation and abnormal p16 expression are reported. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of p16 and microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase 1 (mPGES1) in 42 HOSCC and 45 FOSCC samples with known expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) and cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147).

Curcumin is a natural polyphenol extracted from the rhizome of Curcuma that has an important antitumour effect, but its effect on adverse psychological stress-induced tumour proliferation and invasion has not been reported to date. Here, we found that curcumin not only inhibited the growth of xenografts in chronically stressed nude mice, but also decreased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/9 and CD147 in tumour tissues. Exogenous norepinephrine (NE) was used to stimulate glioma cells to simulate the stress environment in vitro, and it was found that curcumin inhibited the NE-induced proliferation and invasion of glioma cells in a dose-dependent manner.

Dexamethasone (Dex) exhibits broad-spectrum anti-inflammatory effects in chronic destructive rheumatoid arthritis. We present in vivo and in vitro evidence supporting the preventive effects and underlying mechanisms of Dex on collagen-induced arthritis (CIA)-induced synovial injuries. After successful induction of CIA, Wistar rats were administered Dex intraperitoneally (1 mg/kg) three times a week for more than 2 weeks.

PIN7 is a protein-protein interaction network of seven pleiotropic proteins (TPPII, CDK2, MYBBP1A, p53, SIRT6, SIRT7, and CD147) with proposed multiple functions in the aging and age-related diseases including cancer and neurodegeneration. Since the animal and cellular models with downregulated or knockout TPPII, p53, SIRT6, SIRT7, and MYBBP1A expression levels demonstrate similar age-related phenotype features, the interaction network was subjected to further investigation. For the identification of the main molecular mechanisms enabling the functions of the interaction network, PIN7 was subjected to the pathway enrichment, protein function prediction, and the protein node prioritization analysis using Cytoscape software and its applications GeneMania, ClusterOne, and Cyto-hubba.

The γ-secretase complex is a presenilin-dependent aspartyl protease involved in the intramembranous cleavage of various type I transmembrane proteins. As a type I transmembrane protein, CD147 is highly expressed in hepatoma cells and promotes cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. However, the direct underlying mechanism of how CD147 promotes cancer cell proliferation is unknown.
