Abstract

Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5 (Lgr5) is well-characterized as a marker of intestinal stem cells and certain types of tumor stem cells, where positive cells may develop into intestinal epithelial cells or intestinal adenomas. However, the roles of Lgr5 in the lung and in lung tumors remain unclear. An immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis was performed to detect the expression of Lgr5 in the lung from a normal mouse. Histopathological sections of the lungs from Lgr5 heterozygous knockout mice (Lgr5+/‑) were observed following with hematoxylin and eosin. Furthermore, tissue microarrays containing tumor cores from lung cancer patients were also analyzed by IHC. Lgr5‑positive cells were present in the pulmonary alveoli and bronchi of normal mice, whereas the lungs of Lgr5+/‑ mice lost their normal morphological structure compared with the lungs of the normal mice. Lgr5 was expressed in lung adenocarcinoma, however, not in squamous carcinoma, and Lgr5 expression was positively associated with tumor, node, metastasis stage. Lgr5 is expressed in normal murine lung and is associated with TNM stage in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.
