摘要: One of the theories regarding oral carcinogenesis is that tumor growth dependent on cancer stem cells (CSCs) have capacity self-renewal and giving rise to more differentiated cells, like do in normal tissues. The most used methods CSCs isolation are based their identification expression different cell surface markers. markers qualified for this purpose been described originally studies involving hematopoietic or embryonic cells. Thus, we were interested study formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue samples from squamous carcinoma (OSCC). We investigated by immunohistochemistry thirty OSCCs with degrees differentiation locations. establish tissular localization pattern expressing CD44, CD133 CD117 tumoral samples. results indicated exception other two expressed only stromal When looked at origin (by double cytokeratins AE1-AE3, vimentin CD34) concluded they mesenchymal nature. Also, proved some these also co-expressed CD44 but negative CK5÷6. Moreover, positive especially had reactivity tryptase showing mast In conclusion, our has limited utility identifying CSCs, while appears be
