The incidence of lung cancer (LC) is markedly increased among patients with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), and tobacco smoking is its superimposed risk factor. AKRIB10 (aldo-keto reductase IB10) is frequently overexpressed in pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma in smokers. To investigate the role of AKRIB10 in the pulmonary carcinogenesis in UIP with correlation to tobacco smoking, we examined 13 UIP cases with LC, 13 UIP cases without LC, and 30 cases of non-UIP LC using AKRIB10 immunohistochemistry. AKRIB10 immunoreactivity was confined to squamous metaplasia in honeycomb lesions of UIP and neoplastic cells of LC. Squamous metaplastic foci showed AKR1B10 immunoreactivity more frequently in UIP with LC (24/36 foci, 67%) than in UIP without LC (16/44 foci, 37%) (P
