Figure Lengend Snippet: Strong LAMP and autophagy markers expression in tumor buds within the front of tumor invasion in CRC. Tissue sections. Normal colon distal to the CRC area a- e: (A) Glandular parenchyma 0; stroma 2+ in the upper 1/3 of the mucosal chorion. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), anti-LAMP1 , x 200 (original magnification) ; (B) Glands 1 +. IHC, anti- LAMP2 , x200 (original magnification) ; (C) Expression 1 +. IHC, anti- LAMP2A , x200 (original magnification) ; (D) Left side of the microphotograph, tumor parenchyma 1+, stroma 3+ IHC, anti- LC3B , x50 (original magnification) ; (E) Expression 2 +. IHC, anti- BECLIN1, x200 (original magnification) ; Tumor parenchyma in well-differentiated adenocarcinoma (G1) f-j: (F) Tumor parenchyma predominantly apical cytoplasmic signal 2+; (IHC), anti-LAMP1 , x 400 (original magnification) ; (G) Tumor parenchyma 2+, stroma 2 +. IHC, anti- LAMP2 , x100 (original magnification) ; (H) In the tumor cells of tumor parenchyma 2 +. IHC, anti- LAMP2A , x200 (original magnification) ; (I) Right side of the microphotograph, tumor parenchyma 2+, stroma 3+ IHC, anti- LC3B , x200 (original magnification) ; (J) In the tumor cells of tumor parenchyma 2+ with expression enhanced (accentuated) around the lumen of the tumor glands. IHC, anti- BECLIN1, x200 (original magnification) Tumor parenchyma in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (G3) (K–O) : (K) Tumor parenchyma with marked diffuse cytoplasmic expression 3 +. (IHC), anti-LAMP1 , x 200 (original magnification) ; (l) Tumor parenchyma (top) and tumor front (bottom) with clearly visible expression gradient, with more pronounced expression; expression also in the stroma around the tumor front zone in the form of vacuoles and diffusely. IHC, anti- LAMP2 , x100 (original magnification) ; (M) In the tumor cells of the tumor parenchyma 2 +. IHC, anti- LAMP2A , x200 (original magnification) ; (N) Tumor parenchyma and stroma 3+ & internal positive normal colon with a nerve fiber 3+ (arrow). IHC, anti- LC3B , x400 (original magnification) ; (O) 3+ expression in tumor cells from the tumor parenchyma, with expression enhanced (accentuated) around the nucleus but diffuse in nature. IHC, anti- BECLIN1, x200 (original magnification) . Tumor front and budding p-u: (P) Tumor front (middle) with marked diffuse cytoplasmic 3+ expression and surrounding stroma with 3 +. (IHC), anti-LAMP1 , x 200 (original magnification) ; (Q) Tumor front (Budd 3) with more pronounced expression in tumor cells. IHC, anti- LAMP2 , x200 (original magnification) ; (R) Pronounced expression 3+ in tumor embolus (arrow). IHC, anti- LAMP2 , x400 (original magnification) ; (S) 3+ expression in the tumor cells of the tumor front. IHC, anti- LAMP2A , x400 (original magnification) ; (T) Tumor front 3 +. IHC, anti- LC3B , x200 (original magnification) ; (U) In the tumor front area of the above case (O) , the expression decreases; expression 1+ in the tumor front area. IHC, anti- BECLIN1, x200 (original magnification) ; LAMP1, LAMP2, LAMP2A, LC3B and BECLIN1 expression levels in tumor parenchyma, stroma and front are assessed on adenocarcinomatous cells (cytokeratin 20+/cytokeratin 7-/CDX2+ markers).
