Differential expression of the nuclear receptors farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and pregnane X receptor (PXR) for grading dysplasia in patients with Barrett’s oesophagus
Aims: To investigate expression of nuclear receptors farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and pregnane X receptor (PXR) as a diagnostic tool to improve grading of dysplasia in Barrett’s oesophagus patients.
Methods and results: Immunostaining was analysed on a total of 192 biopsy samples of 22 Barrett’s patients with no dysplasia (ND), 17 with low‐grade dysplasia (LGD), 20 high‐grade dysplasia (HGD) and 24 with adenocarcinoma (AC). Nuclear FXR expression was observed in 15 of 22 (68%) ND cases versus none of 19 HGD; 3 of 17 (18%); LGD; 5 of 60 (8%) patients with AC (P |
