RESUMEN

PURPOSE: G-protein receptors belong to a large family of receptors which includes more than 800 kinds. An interest for these receptors arose upon noticing their expression on skin, intestine and breast stem cells. METHODS: We examined the tissues of 53 patients who had been diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the colon. There were no exclusion criteria. We measured the expression levels of LGR5 by immunohistochemistry and we correlated those and the location of the colon primary tumor with the age, sex and the metastatic potential. RESULTS: The median values of the two groups- the orthosigmoid and the other colon location- were 1 and 3.5 respectively with no statistical significance and with p=0.132. Spearman Rho indicated no statistical significance between the expression of LGR5 and age with p=0.219. Moreover, the Mann-Whitney U test showed no statistical significance between LGR5 and sex with p=0.778. Fisher's test, however, showed a statistically significant result between metastasis and expression of LGR5 with p=0.025. CONCLUSION: It becomes apparent that patients with increased expression of these two markers are characterized by a more aggressive form of the disease with an increased rate of metastasis. Also, interactions on both paths lead to a simultaneous overexpression, thus proving the diversity of carcinogenic pathways. Racial and other factors are not affected, and ultimately the need to target these indicators in treatment protocols is imperative.
