Enhanced LAD1 expression is associated with metastatic colorectal cancer tissues. a, b LAD1 expression was enriched in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues compared with normal tissues. Staining intensities of anti-LAD1 antibody in colorectal cancer tissues were stratified into 4 categories (negative, weak, moderate, and strong; A). Strongly stained tissues were detected only in CRC (n = 35) and not in normal controls (n = 9; b). c, d Strong LAD1 staining was observed only in CRC tissues and not in the matched normal tissues (n = 7). Representative images of LAD1 immunohistochemistry and the proportion of differentially stained LAD1 tissues are shown in (c) and (d), respectively. e, f Comparison of matched primary and metastatic CRC tissues (e) showed a higher proportion of strong LAD1 staining intensities in metastatic tissues (n = 9; f)
