Our results showed that LGR5 mRNA and protein expression was significantly over-expressed in 193/366 patients and 24/40mice model with primary colon cancer contrasted with matched normal tissues; significantly higher LGR5 gene expression was detected in pT4 cases than that in pT3 cases; PCNA and Ki67 expression was much more increase in colon cancer cells with positive LGR5 expression than those with negative LGR5 expression;LGR5 positive cancer not only in mice model but also in patients have shorter survival rate compared with LGR5 negative cancer.
