Podoplanin (PDPN) is a prognostic factor and is involved in several mechanisms of tumor progression in human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Canine non-tonsillar SCC (NTSCC) is a common oral tumor in dogs and has a highly invasive characteristic. In this study, we investigated the function of PDPN in canine NTSCC. In canine NTSCC clinical samples, PDPN overexpression was observed in 80% of dogs with NTSCC, and PDPN expression was related to ki67 expression. In PDPN knocked-out canine NTSCC cells, cell proliferation, cancer stemness, and migration were suppressed. As the mechanism of PDPN-mediated cell proliferation, PDPN knocked-out induced apoptosis and G2/M cell cycle arrest in canine NTSCC cells. These findings suggest that PDPN promotes tumor malignancies and may be a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for canine NTSCC.

Objective: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) occurring in the tonsils (TSCC) has a poorer prognosis than SCC occurring in other regions of the oral cavity (non-tonsillar SCC [NTSCC]) because it easily metastasizes to distant organs. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the migration and invasion of TSCC cells .
Materials And Methods: This study focused on differential microRNA (miRNA) expression using microRNA microarrays and quantitative polymerase chain reaction in canine TSCC and NTSCC tissues and cell lines.

Article Synopsis
- Canine tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) has a higher rate of metastasis compared to non-tonsillar oral squamous cell carcinoma (NTSCC), but the mechanisms behind this have been less researched due to a lack of cell lines.
- In this study, researchers established six TSCC cell lines from a metastatic lymph node and two NTSCC cell lines from primary lesions, analyzing their characteristics both in the lab and in living organisms.
- Results revealed that higher levels of the protein Vimentin in TSCC correlates with more aggressive cancer traits, while differences in certain cellular markers were not linked to tumor growth in animal models, suggesting a complex relationship in cancer behavior that needs further study.

Non-tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma (ntSCC) is a common and locally aggressive oral tumour in dogs. The treatments of choice are currently surgery and radiotherapy. Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a local ablative anti-tumour technique using electric pulses to enhance the intracellular diffusion of cytotoxic drugs.
