OBJECTIVES: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), with a high rate of amputation and mortality, is a serious complication of diabetes. However, the therapeutic effect of diabetic foot is poor. This study aimed to investigate the effect of CD147 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process in DFU and molecular mechanisms.METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to reveal the expression of several proteins, such as CD147, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Slug, and Phospho-RSK2 in DFU, non-diabetic refractory tissues, and wound margin tissues (normal blood glucose). Western blotting was used to analyze the expression of CD147 and Slug in HaCaT cells in the high-glucose environment. HaCaT cells with CD147 or RSK2 knockdown was constructed. Wound healing assay was used to test the migration capability of HaCaT cells with knockdown of CD147. Western blotting was used to detect the protein level of Slug in HaCaT cells with CD147 or RSK2 knockdown to investigate the effects of CD147 or RSK2 on EMT. Immunoprecipitation (IP) assay was used to detect the interaction between CD147 and RSK2.RESULTS: The expression levels of CD147 and Slug in the epithelial cells of marginal DFU tissues were significantly lower than those in non-diabetic refractory tissues and wound margin tissues (all P
