CLDN4 palmitoylation promotes hepatic-to-biliary lineage transition and lenvatinib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma
1 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exhibits significant plasticity, enabling phenotypic switching that promotes a drug-tolerant state and circumvents drug-induced cytotoxicity. In this study, we identify the hepatic-to-biliary lineage transition (HBT), associated with Claudin 4 (CLDN4), a tight junction protein, as a potential target for mitigating lenvatinib resistance in HCC. CLDN4 expression is more prevalent in...
