Serrated lesions in the colorectum are currently predominantly classified as hyperplastic polyps (HPs), sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps), and traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs) according to their morphology. However, the histological morphology and the molecular changes in the serrated lesions are still unclear. We performed immunohistochemistry for Ki67, p16INK4a, and WNT5A in human HPs (n=22), SSA/Ps (n=41), and TSAs (n=19). The distribution of Ki67 and p16INK4a positive cells in TSAs was different from that in HPs and SSA/Ps. Co-expression of Ki67 and P16INK4a was infrequent in HPs and SSA/Ps; p16INK4a-positive cells were found in the crypt cleft and stromal WNT5A-positive stromal cells were localized near the cleft in SSA/Ps, while intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) in SSA/Ps were more abundant than HPs. In conclusion, our study provides evidence that HPs branch because of the increase in and patchy distribution of senescent and proliferative cells, with increased and misdistributed stromal and inflammatory cells, which might contribute to creation of L- and/or T-shaped crypts, which are of distinctive shapes in SSA/Ps. Our findings may facilitate better understanding and therapy in the serrated lesions.
