Abstract:Cancer cells within individual tumors often exist in distinct phenotypic states contributing to intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH). However, studies on cell state dynamics among oral cancer cells are largely missing. Here, we have multiplexed phenotypic markers of putative oral-stem-like cancer cells (SLCCs) and characterized diversity among CD44-positive oral cancer cell subpopulations with respect to distinct expression of CD24 and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)-activity. Our in vitro experimental observations … Show more
