In the absence of Netrin-1, its dependence receptors DCC and UNC5H trigger caspase-mediated apoptosis; autocrine or paracrine Netrin-1 suppresses this pathway, conferring a survival advantage exploited by multiple tumor types including colorectal, breast, and lung cancers [PMID:15343335, PMID:18353983, PMID:19211441]. In immune and vascular contexts, Netrin-1—transcriptionally induced by HIF-1α under hypoxia—dampens neutrophil transmigration via A2BAR and retains macrophages in inflamed tissues via UNC5b-mediated inhibition of chemotaxis and Rac1 activation, contributing to atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, and barrier protection [PMID:19122655, PMID:22231519, PMID:24584118, PMID:25903786].
