CD138 Information for Pathologists

Summary:

CD138, Aka heparan sulfate proteoglycan, syndecan-1, mediates cell adhesion, and growth factors activity. It is acquired during late stage of B cell differentiation. Loss of CD138 expression is associated with tumor aggressiveness in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of head and neck and larynx. CD138 levels also reduced in invasive SCC but not in SCC in situ.

Common Uses By Pathologists:

CD138 staining is typically observed in B cell precursors, plasma cells, stratified squamous epithelium, keratoacanthoma, myeloma, plasmablastic lymphoma (strong), primary effusion lymphoma, pyothorax associated lymphoma, and other CD138+ carcinomas. Mature B cells, and other lymphomas (even plasmacytoid lymphomas) are usually negative for CD138. Altered syndecan-1 (CD138) expression has been detected in several different tumor types. Loss of CD138 expression is associated with tumor aggressiveness in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of head and neck and larynx; levels also reduced in invasive SCC but not in SCC-in situ.
