Abstract

The precise identity of cancer cells of origin and the molecular events of tumor initiation in epidermal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are unknown. Here we show that malignancy potential is related to the developmental capacity of the initiating cancer cell in a genetically defined, intact, and inducible in vivo model. Specifically, these data demonstrate that SCCs can originate from inside the hair follicle stem cell (SC) niche or from immediate progenitors, whereas more developmentally restricted progeny, the transit amplifying (TA) cells, are unable to generate even benign tumors in the same genetic context. Using a temporal model of tumorigenesis in situ, we highlight the phenotypes of cancer progression from the hair follicle SC niche, including hyperplasia, epithelial to mesenchymal transition, and SCC formation. Furthermore, we provide insights into the inability of hair follicle TA cells to respond to tumorigenic stimuli.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
