Abstract: Podoplanin is a transmembrane sialate-like glycoprotein expressed on the surface of a variety of tumor cells.It is the endogenous ligand of platelet C-type lectin-like receptor(CLEC2).Podoplanin can induce powerful platelet aggregation through CLEC2,and participate in cancer-related thrombosis.Based on these findings,anti-podoplanin and anti-CLEC2 targeted drugs are expected to become new therapies for the treatment of tumors.This review will discuss deeply the role of podoplanin-CLEC2 activated platelets in tumorigenesis and development,and discuss how to develop podoplanin-CLEC2 as a therapeutic target.
