Netrin-1 & Hepatocellular Carcinoma HCC (HCC-Net)

Netrin-1 in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Pathology, Preclinical Targeting, and Definition of Eligibility Criteria for Phase 1 Trials

Netrin-1 is a dependence receptor ligand participating in the pathology of several cancer types. It is up-regulated in chronic liver diseases, cirrhosis and HCC. We hypothesize that netrin-1 may play a detrimental role in HCC. The goal of this project is to characterize netrin-1 signals in HCC samples with ad hoc controls, to investigate the benefit of capturing netrin-1 in preclinical models of HCC and to try to define patients groups the most likely to benefit from this targeting approach in the clinic.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Tumors (T) samples of various etiologies (HBV, HCV, NASH, alcool)
The combination of the Tumors status of the sample combined with its etiology ((HBV, HCV, NASH, alcool)
Samples have been obtained upon curative surgery without any other therapy administered and subsequently characterized by pathologists after FFPE inclusion.
Non Tumors (NT) samples of various etiologies (HBV, HCV, NASH, alcool)
The combination of the Non Tumors status of the sample combined with its etiology ((HBV, HCV, NASH, alcool)
Samples have been obtained upon curative surgery without any other therapy administered and subsequently characterized by pathologists after FFPE inclusion.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Netrin-1 expression patterns in HCC samples
Time Frame: Outcome measure is to be performed after surgery of the tumors (at least 1 year later). It has no impact on the patient's care.
Netrin-1 expression levels will be quantified by immunoblotting with ad hoc internal standards. Positivity threshold by IHC will be evaluated using ad hoc positive and negative control tissues. The densitometry approach will be used.
Outcome measure is to be performed after surgery of the tumors (at least 1 year later). It has no impact on the patient's care.
