Aim: To analyze the clinicopathologic and prognostic significance of Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5), a cancer stem cell marker expression in a cohort of colorectal cancer patients (CRC). Patients & methods: A total of 76 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks of primary or metastatic tumors from 49 CRC patients were collected for duration 2009–2015. LGR5 expression was assessed through immunohistochemical staining of a tissue microarray. Results: LGR5 was significantly over expressed in CRC tissue samples and found to be a statistically significant independent prognostic marker for an improved overall survival. Conclusion: LGR5 expression was higher in colorectal cancer than in normal tissue. LGR5 was an independent prognostic marker for better clinical outcomes and might be used as a potential therapeutic target in CRCs.

Abstract Background: B3GNT6 encodes the core 3 synthase in O-glycan biosynthesis. It is commonly expressed in the GI tract, while its clinical significance in colorectal cancer remains largely unknown.Methods: We gathered mRNA transcriptomic sequencing data from 3 Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets (GSE37182, GSE39582, GSE103512) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to compare the B3GNT6 mRNA level between colorectal cancer tissues and normal tissues and to evaluate its value as a prognostic marker. We further validated this in protein level using online database Human Protein Atlas and with immunohistochemical staining of B3GNT6 with our own cohort. Results: B3GNT6 expression was downregulated in colorectal cancer tissue compared with that in normal tissue in both mRNA and in protein level. Downregulation of B3GNT6 was associated with poor overall survival of colorectal cancer in GSE39582 and in TCGA database. Low B3GNT6 mRNA level was significantly associated with chromosome stable (CIN negative) and KRAS mutated group colorectal cancer patient. GSEA revealed that low B3GNT6 level in colorectal cancer is associated with upregulated proteasome activity.Conclusions: Downregulated B3GNT6 was correlated with poor overall survival of colorectal cancer patients. B3GNT6 could be used as a good prognostic marker in colorectal cancer.
