LRP-1 is a multifunctional endocytic receptor that belongs to the family of LDL receptors. It is involved in the clearance of matrix proteases. A loss of expression or a decrease of the LRP-1 activity is correlated with an increase of aggressiveness of cancer cells. This effect was demonstrated in vitro in vesicular thyroid carcinomas after LRP-1 blocking. The decrease in the immunohistochemical expression and LRP-1 genomic in hepatocellular carcinomas and lung adenocarcinomas was correlated with a decrease in the overall survival. In CRC, only one immunohistochemical expression study of LRP-1 in colonic adenocarcinoma has been published to date. This study shows that tumor cells express LRP-1, but in nearly half the cases, weaker than in normal colonic cells. The clinical and prognostic impact of LRP-1 expression in colon cancer and its association with a particular molecular or morphological profile has not been studied to date.
