Abstract
Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is an uncommon malignancy with generally poor prognosis. Surgery is the primary curative treatment; however, the perioperative mortality and morbidity rates are high, with a low 5-year survival rate. Use of preoperative prognostic biomarkers to predict survival outcomes after surgery for pCCA are not well-established currently. This systematic review aimed to identify and summarise preoperative biomarkers associated with survival in pCCA, thereby potentially improving treatment decision-making. The Embase, Medline, and Cochrane databases were searched, and a systematic review was performed using the PRISMA guidelines. English-language studies examining the association between serum and/or tissue-derived biomarkers in pCCA and overall and/or disease-free survival were included. Our systematic review identified 64 biomarkers across 48 relevant studies. Raised serum CA19-9, bilirubin, CEA, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and tumour MMP9, and low serum albumin were most associated with poorer survival; however, the cutoff values used widely varied. Several promising molecular markers with prognostic significance were also identified, including tumour HMGA2, MUC5AC/6, IDH1, PIWIL2, and DNA index. In conclusion, several biomarkers have been identified in serum and tumour specimens that prognosticate overall and disease-free survival after pCCA resection. These, however, require external validation in large cohort studies and/or in preoperatively obtained specimens, especially tissue biopsy, to recommend their use.

Expression of MUC16/CA125 Is Associated with Impaired Survival in Patients with Surgically Resected Cholangiocarcinoma. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14194703.

Abstract
MUC16/CA125 is associated with cancer proliferation in several tumor entities. The data on MUC16 expression in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) tissue are very limited. The aim of this study was to assess the MUC16 status and its impact on survival in CCA patients. All the patients with surgically resected CCA that were diagnosed between August 2005 and December 2021 at the University Hospital Frankfurt were retrospectively analyzed. A 7-Mucin biomarker panel was assessed by immunohistochemistry. For overall survival (OS), Kaplan−Meier curves and Cox-regression analyses were performed. Randomly selected intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) were further processed for differential expression profiling. A total of 168 patients with CCA were classified as MUC16 (−) (66%, n = 111) and MUC16 (+) (34%, n = 57). Subgroup analyses revealed a median OS of 56.1 months (95% CI = 42.4−69.9 months) and 27.4 months (95% CI = 15.8−39.1 months) for MUC16 (−) and MUC16 (+), respectively (p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, MUC16 (+) (HR = 1.6, 95% CI = 1−2.6, p = 0.032) was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis. Prominently deregulated pathways have been identified following MUC16 expression, overrepresented in cell cycle and immune system exhaustion processes. These findings suggest including MUC16 in clinical routine diagnostics as well as studying its molecular pathways to identify further mechanistic key players.

Abstract
Mesothelin (MSLN) is a cell surface protein associated with tumor invasion and metastasis. This study aims to explore the biological function of MSLN in gastric cancer and to evaluate the association of MSLN polymorphism (rs3764247, rs3764246, rs12597489, rs1057147, rs3765319) with the risk and prognosis of gastric cancer. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection and MSLN overexpression were performed in human gastric cancer cell lines, respectively. The proliferation of tumor cells was evaluated by Cell counting kit 8(CCK-8) and colony formation assay. Wound healing assay and transwell assay were used to elucidate gastric cancer cell migration and invasion rates. We conducted a case-control study involving 860 patients with gastric cancer and 870 controls. All mutation sites were genotyped by PCR-LDR sequencing. First, our study revealed the cancer-promoting role of MSLN in gastric cancer. Second, we also demonstrated that rs3764247 and rs3764246 were associated with a reduced risk of gastric cancer (OR = 0.83, p = 0.010; OR = 0.84, p = 0.011; respectively). The clinicopathological analysis further showed that rs3764247 was closely related to T stage, vascular infiltration, and HER2 expression. In addition, in the survival analysis of 392 patients with gastric cancer, patients with rs3764247 CC genotype had poorer survival than patients with AA + AC genotype after adjusting for age, sex, TNM stage, and Lauren classification (HR = 2.07, p = 0.029). Our findings indicated that MSLN could be an oncogene whose polymorphisms were closely related to the risk and prognosis of gastric cancer.
