o Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
is a complex multistep
malignancy often arising on
underlying chronic liver disease,
requiring new therapeutic
options
o HCC is the main cause of death
in patients with non-alcoholic
steatohepatitis (NASH) and can
develop even in the absence of
cirrhosis
o There is an urgent need for
robust animal models fully
recapitulating the NASH-related
HCC carcinogenesis
Introduction
To further characterize and
develop our transgenic HCC
mouse model, focusing on
immune landscape and
specific diet-induced variants
Aim of the study
Transgenic mouse model: ASV-B is a
transgenic mouse model (C57BL/6J) that
spontaneously develops a reproducible stage-
defined HCC, with hyperplasia at week(W)8,
followed by nodular stage at W12, then diffuse
carcinoma stage at W16-20. Transgene consists
in the fusion between the antithrombin promotor
and the T oncogene of SV40, on the Y
chromosome
Immune landscape assessment: RNA was
extracted using Qiacube (Qiagen, France) from
frozen livers at W20 for immune markers
analysis using qRT-PCR (LightCycler, Roche).
Immune populations were also assessed using
automated immunohistochemistry (Bond Max,
Leica)
NASH model: ASV-B transgenic mice were
exposed to 5 different diet regimen: classic,
high-fat, containing 22% of vegetal oil and 0.2%
cholesterol, enriched in saturated fatty
acid+1.25% cholesterol, and containing 21%
milkfat + 1.25% cholesterol. All mice fed with
special diets also received 30% fructose in drink
water
Statistic: All data are mean ± standard
deviation (SD). Statistical significance was
calculated by two-sided unpaired Student's t test
(Prism)

Conclusions
o Our model pertains to the few genetic engineered mouse model for HCC, easy to use with a stage-defined tumor progression
o ASV-B recapitulates immune modifications observed in inflamed human HCC
o Using specific regimen in the ASV-B model, we have been able to develop a phenotype mimicking human NASH pattern, to be confirmed by
additional date analysis
o ASV-B model is a useful tool to test new treatments in HCC

angiogenesis increased in HCC livers
ASV-B model displays marked arterialization with intense arterial

dilated, surrounded by activated hepatic stellate cells (SMA

Study design
ASV-B transgenic mice were exposed to 5 different diet regimen. Liver
volume, angiogenesis and blood sugar were assessed every 4 weeks.
Sacrifice were performed at W12 (4/group) and W20 (6/group) for
blood and liver sampling
NASH pattern in ASV-B mice fed with specific diet-variants
Specific diet-variant induced different liver phenotype. The orange
regimen will be further investigated to confirm the features mimicking
the human NASH underlying disease
