BMI1-expressing cancer stem cells (CSCs) play a key role in the development, progression,
therapy resistance, recurrence, and metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
(HNSCC). Here, we present a chemically-induced HNSCC mouse model, genetically and
pathologically similar to human HNSCC. This protocol describes how to use genetic lineage
tracing based on the Cre-loxP recombination strategy, which allows us to study the
regulation and targeting of BMI1+ CSCs in primary tumors and lymph node metastases. For …
