Evaluation of glypican‑3 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Mol Clin Oncol)
Finally, positive staining of GPC3 was observed when the sAFP level of the patient was >20 ng/ml. In conclusion, the results from the present study have supported that GPC3 may be a promising marker for HCC, and can be used as a diagnostic marker alongside AFP.

SPP1+ macrophages and FAP+ fibroblasts promote the progression of pMMR gastric cancer. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
This study uncovered TiME heterogeneity among GC patients with different MMR states, highlighting that the pMMR TiME is distinguished by hypoxia, pro-angiogenesis, and ECM remodeling, driven by the presence of GC2 cells, SPP1 + macrophages, FAP + fibroblasts, and E2 endothelial cells. These findings are pivotal for developing targeted immunotherapies for GC patients with pMMR.

Glypican-3-targeted macrophages delivering drug-loaded exosomes offer efficient cytotherapy in mouse models of solid tumours. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
These macrophages carry a cargo of the TLR7/TLR8 agonist R848 and INCB024360, a selective indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitor, wrapped in C16-ceramide-fused outer membrane vesicles (OMV) of Escherichia coli origin (RILO)...RILO-loaded macrophages exert therapeutic efficacy in mice bearing H22 hepatocellular carcinomas, which express high levels of glypican-3. Overall, we lay down the proof of principle for a cytotherapeutic strategy to target solid tumours and could complement conventional treatment.

20(S)-Ginsenoside Rh2 inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma by suppressing angiogenesis and the GPC3-mediated Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway. (PubMed, Acta Biochim Biophys Sin (Shanghai))
Collectively, our findings shed light on the molecular mechanisms through which Rh2 modulates HCC growth, which involve the regulation of angiogenesis and the glypican-3/Wnt/β-catenin pathway. These insights may pave the way for the development of novel therapeutic strategies targeting these pathways for the treatment of HCC.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered quantification of glypican-3 (GPC3) expression facilitates patient selection for GPC3-targeted therapy in solid tumors (AACR 2024)
FFPE slides were stained for GPC3+ (GC33, Ventana), PD-L1+ (22C3, Dako) cells and then scanned at 20x using the Aperio Versa8 scanner... Here we profiled GPC3 expression across tumor types and showed high level of expression in HCC followed by SQ-NSCLC. We have established an AI-powered digital pathology platform that can provide a standardized, scalable, and reproducible method of characterizing GPC3 positivity to support further patient selection in clinical study.

The role and mechanism of HIF-1α-mediated glypican-3 secretion in hypoxia-induced tumor progression in hepatocellular carcinoma. (PubMed, Cell Signal)
Hypoxia promoted secretion of exosomal GPC3 through the activation of HIF-1α. GPC3-deficient exosomes inhibited the proliferation, migration and EMT of HCC cells via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and suppressed the angiogenic potential of HUVECs. This provided a novel understanding of the role of exosomal GPC3 in HCC progression.
