Supplementary Materials and Methods
Supplementary Figure 1. CD34 expression in Class A and Class B
carcinomas Immunofluorescence using an antibody against CD34 (bar =
100µm). Red indicates CD34; blue indicates nucleus (DAPI). Class A carcinomas
are depicted on the top row; Class B carcinomas are depicted on the bottom row.
Supplementary Figure 2. Class B carcinomas have a very similar molecular
profile to “claudin-low” breast cancers Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of
skin carcinoma gene expression levels using a published gene signature for
“claudin low” breast cancers (Prat et al., 2010). Red indicates higher expression;
green indicates lower expression.
Supplementary Figure 3. Validation of ErbB2 and Lrig1 array expression
results by immunostaining on mouse skin carcinoma sections (A, B) IHC
using an antibody against ErbB2 (bar = 100µm). (C, D) Immunofluorescence
using an antibody against Lrig1 (bar = 100µm). Red indicates Lrig1; blue
indicates nucleus (DAPI). Class A carcinomas are depicted on the left; Class B
carcinomas are depicted on the right.
Supplementary Figure 4. Gene expression of p15 and p19/Arf in skin
carcinomas (A) qRT-PCR for p15 in Class A and Class B carcinomas. (B) qRT-
PCR for p19/Arf in Class A and Class B carcinomas. Error bars represent
standard deviation from three replicate measurements.
Supplementary Figure 5. Expression of inflammatory markers in skin
carcinomas Heatmap of expression levels of inflammatory markers in Class A
and Class B carcinomas using data from our previously published study (Quigley
et al., 2011). Red indicates higher expression; blue indicates lower expression.

carcinomas from Hras WT and Hras -/- mice (A) Gene copy number analysis
of p16/p19 (top row) and p15 (bottom row) on SCCs and spindle cell carcinomas
from FVB Hras WT mice treated with TPA for 5 weeks, 10 weeks and 20 weeks.
(B) Gene copy number analysis of p16 (top row) and p15 (bottom row) on SCCs
and spindle cell carcinomas from FVB Hras -/- mice treated with TPA for 10
weeks and 20 weeks. Amplifications of the gene are marked with blue, deletions
with red, and two copies with white boxes.
Supplementary Figure 7. Histological and immunophenotypic features of
skin carcinomas from Hras null mice (A) Hras null mice developed both Class
A (squamous) and Class B (spindle) skin carcinomas. (B) IHC using antibodies
against E-cadherin and Vimentin. Class A carcinomas are depicted on the top
row; Class B carcinomas on the bottom row (bar = 200µm).
Supplementary Figure 8. Comparison of the p16 gene expression levels in
normal skin, papillomas, Class A and Class B carcinomas Box plots for p16
gene expression levels as determined by microarray. The Y-axis shows log2
expression. The horizontal line indicates estimated level of background
expression.
Supplementary Table 1. Snai1 is positively correlated with many genes
known to be involved in invasion and the EMT Table was generated by
calculating Spearman Rank Correlation between Log2 gene expression of Snai1
(Snail) and all other genes using the 60 carcinomas, reporting those where r ! +/-
0.8. Positive values of Fold change indicate higher expression in Class A than
Class B carcinomas. To calculate fold change, where DIFF = mean(values in
Class A)-mean(values in Class B), fold-change = 2^DIFF if DIFF>0 and -1*(2^(-
1*DIFF)) where DIFF<0.

Supplementary Table 5. Metastasis patterns of primary SCCs and spindle
cell carcinomas from FVB/N WT and Hras-/- mice Table representing the
histology and location of metastases found in FVB/N WT and Hras-/- mice
treated with TPA for 5, 10 or 20 weeks. Hras-/- mice treated with TPA for 5
weeks did not develop any carcinomas. IDs starting with 2 belong to WT mice,
IDs starting with 1 belong to Hras-/- mice. Histology of SCC tumors ranged from
poorly to well differentiated. Spindle/SCC describes a mostly spindle tumor with a
minor component of squamous cells, while SCC/spindle represents an SCC with
a minor spindle component. The number and histology of primary tumors per
individual mouse is shown in the second column from the left. The tumors
shaded in grey were surgically removed when they reached 1.0 to 1.5cm in
diameter.

Supplementary Materials and Methods Immunohistochemistry
Antigen retrieval was performed in 10mM sodium citrate solution (pH 6) and
endogenous peroxidase was quenched with a 3% H2O2 solution (Sigma) for 10
min at room temperature. Blocking was performed with 5% goat serum (Zymed)
diluted in PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20 for 1h at room temperature before
overnight incubation with the primary antibodies at 4 °C. After washing in PBS
containing 0.1% Tween-20 (PBS-T) for 3x 5min, sections were incubated with a
biotinylated secondary antibody anti rabbit (Vector) or anti mouse (Vector) at a
dilution of 1:400 for 1h at room temperature. Sections were washed with PBS-T,
incubated in ABC reagent (Vectastain Elite Kit, Vector) according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, and developed using DAB (Sigma). The following
primary antibodies were used for the immunostainings shown in the
supplementary figures: anti ErbB2 (rabbit, Cell Signaling Technology), anti Lrig1
(goat, R&D), anti CD34 (rat, eBiosciences). The following secondary antibodies
were used: biotinylated anti rabbit (Vector) and Alexa 555 donkey anti goat
(Invitrogen).
