Immunohistochemical Expression of E - Cadherin and CD44 Adhesion Molecules in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

E‐cadherin‐mediated impairment increases anti‐apoptotic mechanism through upregulation of Bcl‐2: An immunohistochemical study in various patterns of invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma

“…Similar pattern was observed in the present study, where the immunoexpression of E‐cadherin was more strong toward the center of tumor islands. Our pattern of staining of E‐ cadherin ranged from cytoplasmic to membranous which was in accordance with Kaur et al, Janabi et al, Ahmad et al, and Jamal et al. This cytoplasmic staining is accounted to the increase due to cytoplasmic endocytosis and shift to cytoplasmic component of the cell (Figure a‐c).…”
