Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells that initiate and modulate immune responses, including tumor immunity. In this study we examined, immunohistochemically, the distribution of DC subsets in the primary tumor, adjacent tissue and regional lymph nodes (RLNs) of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The numbers of S100+ and CD1a+ DCs in tissue adjacent to the primary tumor were greater in patients without metastasis to RLNs (PN- cases), compared with those with metastasis (PN+ cases), while greater numbers of CD83+ DCs in the primary tumors were found in PN+ cases. In the RLNs, the numbers of S100+ and CD1a+ DCs were less in PN+ cases than in PN- cases, while the numbers of CD83+ DCs were greater in PN+ cases compared with those in PN- cases. These results suggest that the distribution of DC subsets in OSCC may reflect the degree of tumor immunity induced in the host bearing OSCC.

D009418 S100 Proteins A family of highly acidic calcium-binding proteins found in large concentration in the brain and believed to be glial in origin. They are also found in other organs in the body. They have in common the EF-hand motif (EF HAND MOTIFS) found on a number of calcium binding proteins. The name of this family derives from the property of being soluble in a 100% saturated ammonium sulfate solution.

D002294 Carcinoma, Squamous Cell A carcinoma derived from stratified SQUAMOUS EPITHELIAL CELLS. It may also occur in sites where glandular or columnar epithelium is normally present.

D003713 Dendritic Cells Specialized cells of the hematopoietic system that have branch-like extensions. They are found throughout the lymphatic system, and in non-lymphoid tissues such as SKIN and the epithelia of the intestinal, respiratory, and reproductive tracts. They trap and process ANTIGENS, and present them to T-CELLS, thereby stimulating CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY. They are different from the non-hematopoietic FOLLICULAR DENDRITIC CELLS, which have a similar morphology and immune system function, but with respect to humoral immunity (ANTIBODY PRODUCTION).
