Résumé

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Despite new treatment approvals, treatment response and prognosis of patients with advanced HCC remain poor. Claudin-1 (CLDN1) is a membrane protein expressed not only at tight junctions but also non-junctionally such as the basolateral membrane of the human hepatocyte. While CLDN1 within tight junctions is well characterized, the role of non-junctional CLDN1 and its role as a therapeutic target in HCC remains unexplored.
