Background/aim: The aim of the study was to investigate whether E-cadherin and syndecan-1 are molecular markers of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Patients And Methods: The expression of E-cadherin and syndecan-1 (SDC1) was examined immunohistochemically on tissue specimens of 64 patients, with stage III disease at presentation. The obtained expression data were correlated with clinical parameters.
Results: Negative expression of SDC1 was correlated with squamous histology (p=0.002). E-cadherin positive expression was significantly associated with increased 2-year overall survival (OS) rate (p=0.032). In the multivariate Cox analysis, performance status 0-1 was an independent predictor of OS (p=0.001) and disease-free survival (DFS) (p=0.001). E-cadherin expression was an independent predictor of OS (p=0.007) and DFS (p=0.029).
Conclusion: E-cadherin might be a prognostic factor for OS and DFS in advanced stage NSCLC patients. Further investigations are needed for the establishment of E-cadherin and syndecan-1 as molecular markers, affecting treatment response and survival.

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) in dogs is a locally invasive tumor that typically occurs in areas of poorly pigmented skin due to sun exposure. Identifying new biomarkers, such as syndecan-1 (CD138) and E-cadherin, is fundamental for tumor diagnosis and prognosis. Dysregulation of syndecan-1, expressed in epithelial tissue, fibroblasts, and plasma cells, is associated with poor prognosis in several types of cancer.

Objective: To investigate the impact of overwork on vascular endothelial barrier function in mice.
Methods: Thirty KM mice were randomized equally into control, overwork for 2 weeks (W2) group and 4 weeks (W4) group. In the latter two groups, the mice were subjected to continuous standing in water for 8 h followed by restraint for 3 h to simulate overwork on a daily basis for 2 and 4 weeks.
Directed biomechanical compressive forces enhance fusion efficiency in model placental trophoblast cultures.

The syncytiotrophoblast is a multinucleated structure that arises from fusion of mononucleated cytotrophoblasts, to sheath the placental villi and regulate transport across the maternal-fetal interface. Here, we ask whether the dynamic mechanical forces that must arise during villous development might influence fusion, and explore this question using in vitro choriocarcinoma trophoblast models. We demonstrate that mechanical stress patterns arise around sites of localized fusion in cell monolayers, in patterns that match computational predictions of villous morphogenesis.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a prevalent form of oral cancer in humans and dogs. The altered expression of cell adhesion molecules, including E-cadherin (CDH1) and syndecan-1 (SDC1), is involved in cancer progression. This study aimed to investigate the protein expression of CDH1 and SDC1 in early and late clinical stages of human and canine OSCC (hOSCC and cOSCC, respectively), using immunohistochemistry.

Adherens junctions between tubular epithelial cells are disrupted in renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Syndecan-1 (SDC-1) is involved in maintaining cell morphology. We aimed to study the role of SDC-1 shedding induced by renal I/R in the destruction of intracellular adherens junctions.
