Abstract: Objective: To explore the expression of E-cad and CD44s in the rat tongue carcinogensis. Methods: The water drinking method of 4NQO was used in a barrier system to induce tongue carcinogensis of SD rats. Immunohistochemical technique was used to study the expression of E-cad and CD44s in 82 tissue specimens of rat tongue carcinogensis. Results: In the process of rat tongue carcinogensis, the expression of E-cad decreased while that of CD44s increased, and the differences in the expression of E-cad and CD44s were statistically significant for each group (P<0.05). The expression of E-cad had a significantly negative correlation with CD44s expression (rs=-0.675, P<0.001). Conclusion: E-cad and CD44s were involved in the occurrence and development of tongue squamous cell carcinoma, and combined detection of CD44s and E-cad may provide a new method for early clinical diagnosis.

Key words: Tongue squamous cell carcinoma, E-cad , CD44s
