BACKGROUND: We have demonstrated the induction of perlecan-rich stroma of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on and after its start of invasion. However, it remains unknown how such a neoplastic stroma is actually arranged in tumor tissues.

METHODS: To this end, tissue microarray samples, in which keratin and perlecan were contrastively labeled by immunohistochemistry, were three-dimensionally analyzed using digital images and image analysis software to demonstrate the relationship between SCC foci and the perlecan-positive stromal space or that between carcinoma in situ (CIS) and invasive SCC foci.

RESULTS: The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction demonstrated three kinds of perlecan profiles for inside (I) and outside (O) areas of the carcinoma cell focus: mode 1, I(+)/O(-) ; mode 2, I(+)/O(+) ; and mode 3, I(-)/O(+). Mode 1 was seen in CIS as well as SCC tumor massifs in the surface part. Mode 2 was seen in small SCC foci, which seemed isolated in 2D sections but were mostly continuous with the tumor massif in 3D reconstructions. Mode 3 was limited to small SCC foci, which were truly segregated from the tumor massif.

CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that the 2D SCC focus isolation could not be regarded as invasion but that the SCC foci surrounded by perlecan-positive stroma (modes 2 and 3) could be regarded as a more objective measure for invasion of SCC. This is the first 3D tissue-level demonstration of the neoplastic stroma space induced with oral SCC invasion, the presence of which we have predicted based on our previous 2D and tissue culture evidence.
