The podoplanin-CLEC-2 interaction promotes platelet-mediated melanoma pulmonary metastasis.
Article in BMC cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPodoplanin (PDPN) expressed on tumour cells interacts with platelet C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2). This study aimed to investigate the role of the PDPN-platelet CLEC-2 interaction in melanoma pulmonary metastasis.
methodsMurine melanoma B16-F0 cells, which have two populations that express podoplanin, were sorted by FACS with anti-podoplanin staining to obtain purified PDPN + and PDPN- B16-F0 cells. C57BL/6J mice transplanted with CLEC-2-deficient bone marrow cells were used for in vivo experiments.
resultsThe in vivo data showed that the number of metastatic lung nodules in WT mice injected with PDPN + cells was significantly higher than that in WT mice injected with PDPN- cells and in WT or CLEC-2 KO mice injected with PDPN- cells. In addition, our results revealed that the platelet Syk-dependent signalling pathway contributed to platelet aggregation and melanoma metastasis.
conclusionsOur study indicates that the PDPN-CLEC-2 interaction promotes experimental pulmonary metastasis in a mouse melanoma model. Tumour cell-induced platelet aggregation mediated by the interaction between PDPN and CLEC-2 is a key factor in melanoma pulmonary metastasis.
