Aim-To investigate an extent of smooth muscle differentiation of pericryptal fibroblasts.Methods-Expression of high molecular weight caldesmon (h-CD) and a smooth muscle actin was investigated in alpha invasive colorectal adenocarcinomas and their surrounding non-neoplastic tissues.Results-The monoclonal antibody to h-CD, which showed predominantly positive immunostaining in well differentiated smooth muscle cells, recognised pericryptal fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and pericytes, but was not reactive to myofibroblasts. Antibody to a smooth muscle actin recognised not only pericryptal fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and pericytes but also myofibroblasts.Conclusions-Pericryptsal fibroblasts show greater smooth muscle differentiation than myofibroblasts and there is a possibility that they are well differentiated smooth muscle cells; h-CD is an excellent marker to discriminate pericryptal fibro blasts from myofibroblasts.
