• GPC3 Glypican 3
• Glypican 3 (GPC3, also known as SGB, DGSX, MXR7, SDYS, SGBS, OCI-5, SGBS1, GTR2-2) is a cell surface protein that is overexpressed in multiple cancer types, including many solid tumors, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), melanoma (Nakatsura T et al, Clin Cancer Res. 2004), lung squamous cell carcinoma (Yu X et al., Genet Mol Res. 2015), ovarian carcinoma (Stadlmann S et al., Int J Gynecol Pathol. 2007), yolk sac tumor,

• the GPC3 gene is located on the X chromosome and encodes a 70 kDa precursor protein of 580 amino acids (aa). This precursor protein can be cleaved by Furin between Arg 358 and Cys 359 and generate a 40 kDa N-terminal subunit and a 30 kDa C-terminal subunit linked by disulfide bonds.

• GPC3 is an oncofetal protein that is widely expressed in human embryos, and regulates morphogenesis or growth through interaction with signaling factors, such as Wnt, hedgehog signaling, etc. GPC3 is not expressed in normal adult livers; however, during hepatic
• GPC3 has been reported to be reactivated in HCC patients.
• Yamauchi N et al. examined GPC3 expression in normal, non-neoplastic, and neoplastic liver tissues, and found that GPC3 was present in 84% (47/56) of HCC patients, but absent in normal adult liver, liver cirrhosis or hepatitis (Yamauchi N et al, Modern Pathology 2005). Similar results were reported by other groups (Nakatsura T et al, Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2003; Baumhoer D et al, Am J Clin Pathol. 2008; Shirakawa H et al, Cancer Sci. 2009; Wang L et al, Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int.
• GPC3 could be released from cell surface to extracellular environment in different forms in HCC patients, but not in healthy donors. Therefore, GPC3 is currently used as a serum diagnostic marker for HCC (Hippo Y et al, Cancer Res. 2004; Capurro M et al, Gastroenterology 2003;
• Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of liver cancer, accounting for approximately 75% of all liver cancers. Liver cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the second most common cause of death from cancer in the world. Liver cancer incidence has more than tripled since 1980, and liver cancer death rates have increased by almost 3% per year since 2000 (https://www.cancer.org/cancer/liver-cancer/about/what-is-key-statistics.html). Prognosis for liver cancer is very poor with an overall ratio of mortality to incidence of 0.95.
• liver cancer treatment is mainly limited to chemotherapy or surgery. However, the effect of chemotherapy is often limited because liver cells express ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters which can export a large range of commonly used chemotherapeutic agents.
