This study demonstrates that Netrin-1 (Ntn1) is essential for the survival of SHH-subtype medulloblastomas. Inhibiting Netrin-1 induces tumor cell apoptosis and improves survival in vivo.
Netrin-1 is required for tumor cell survival and represents a viable therapeutic target in SHH-subtype medulloblastoma.
Netrin-1 IRES-tdTomato Knockin reporter mouse model developed by genOway; used to track and study Ntn1-expressing cells in SHH-driven medulloblastoma.
