Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is one of the oxidative stress-driven carcinogenesis through chronic inflammation. Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1), an adaptor protein of insulin signaling pathways, is associated with the progression of many inflammation-related cancers. This study hypothesized that oxidative stress regulates IRS1 expression and that up-regulation of IRS1 induces CCA progression. The localizations of IRS1 and an oxidative stress marker (8-oxodG) were detected in CCA tissues using immunohistochemistry (IHC). The presence of IRS1 in CCA tissues was confirmed using immortal cholangiocyte cells (MMNK1), a long-term oxidative-stress-induced cell line (ox-MMNK1-L), and five CCA cell lines as cell culture models. IRS1 was overexpressed in tumor cells and this was associated with a shorter patient survival time and an increase in 8-oxodG. IRS1 expression was higher in ox-MMNK1-L cells than in MMNK1 cells. Knockdown of IRS1 by siRNA in two CCA cell lines led to inhibition of proliferation, cell cycle progression, migration, invasion, stemness, and oxidative stress resistance properties. Moreover, a transcriptomics study demonstrated that suppressing IRS1 in the KKU-213B CCA cell line reduced the expression levels of several genes and pathways involved in the cellular functions. The findings indicate that IRS1 is a key molecule in the connection between oxidative stress and CCA progression. Therefore, IRS1 and its related genes can be used as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for CCA therapy.

Abstract
The analysis of cfDNA has been applied as a liquid biopsy in several malignancies. However, its value in the diagnosis and prognosis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) have not been well defined. We aimed to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic values of cfDNA level and tumor-specific mutation in circulating DNA (ctDNA) in CCA. The plasma cfDNA levels from 62 CCA patients, 33 benign biliary disease (BBD) patients and 30 normal controls were quantified by fluorescent assay. Targeted probe-based sequencing of 60 genes was applied for mutation profiling in 10 ctDNA samples and their corresponding treatment-naïve tissues. cfDNA levels in CCA were significantly higher than those in BBD and normal controls. We found that cfDNA levels at 0.2175 and 0.3388 ng/µL significantly discriminated CCA from healthy controls and BBD with 88.7 and 82.3% sensitivity and 96.7 and 57.6% specificity, respectively. cfDNA levels showed superior diagnostic efficacy in detecting CCA compared to CEA and CA19-9. ARID1A (30%), PBRM1 (30%), MTOR (30%), and FGFR3 (30%) mutations were the most common. Using nine frequently mutated genes in the ctDNA samples, the diagnostic accuracy of cfDNA sequencing was 90.8%, with 96.7% average sensitivity and 72.4% specificity. This study supports the use of cfDNA as a diagnosis and prognostic biomarker for CCA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignancy that originates from bile duct cells. The incidence and mortality of CCA are very high especially in Southeast Asian countries. Moreover, most CCA patients have a very poor outcome. Presently, there are still no effective treatment regimens for CCA. The resistance to several standard chemotherapy drugs occurs frequently; thus, searching for a novel effective treatment for CCA is urgently needed. METHODS In this study, comprehensive bioinformatics analyses for identification of novel target genes for CCA therapy based on three microarray gene expression profiles (GSE26566, GSE32225 and GSE76297) from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were performed. Based on differentially expressed genes (DEGs), gene ontology and pathway enrichment analyses were performed. Protein-protein interactions (PPI) and hub gene identifications were analyzed using STRING and Cytoscape software. Then, the expression of candidate genes from bioinformatics analysis was measured in CCA cell lines using real time PCR. Finally, the anti-tumor activity of specific inhibitor against candidate genes were investigated in CCA cell lines cultured under 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional cell culture models. RESULTS The three microarray datasets exhibited an intersection consisting of 226 DEGs (124 up-regulated and 102 down-regulated genes) in CCA. DEGs were significantly enriched in cell cycle, hemostasis and metabolism pathways according to Reactome pathway analysis. In addition, 20 potential hub genes in CCA were identified using the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and sub-PPI network analysis. Subsequently, CDC20 was identified as a potential novel targeted drug for CCA based on a drug prioritizing program. In addition, the anti-tumor activity of a potential CDC20 inhibitor, namely dinaciclib, was investigated in CCA cell lines. Dinaciclib demonstrated huge anti-tumor activity better than gemcitabine, the standard chemotherapeutic drug for CCA. CONCLUSION Using integrated bioinformatics analysis, CDC20 was identified as a novel candidate therapeutic target for CCA.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignancy of the bile duct epithelium. The major problems of this cancer are late diagnosis and a high rate of metastasis. CCA patients in advanced stages have poor survival and cannot be cured with surgery. Therefore, targeting molecules involved in the metastatic process may be an effective CCA treatment. Monopolar spindle 1 (MPS1) is a kinase protein that controls the spindle assemble checkpoint in mitosis. It is overexpressed in proliferating cells and various cancers. The functional roles of MPS1 in CCA progression have not been investigated. The aims of this study were to examine the roles and molecular mechanisms of MPS1 in CCA progression. Immunohistochemistry results showed that MPS1 was up-regulated in carcinogenesis of CCA in a hamster model, and positive expression of MPS1 in human CCA tissues was correlated to short survival of CCA patients (n = 185). Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-induced knockdown of MPS1 expression reduced cell proliferation via G2/M arrest, colony formation, migration, and invasion. Moreover, MPS1 controlled epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT)-mediated migration via AKT and STAT3 signaling transductions. MPS1 was also involved in MMPs-dependent invasion of CCA cell lines. The current research highlights for the first time that MPS1 has an essential role in promoting the progression of CCA via AKT and STAT3 signaling pathways and could be an attractive target for metastatic CCA treatment.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a malignancy of biliary epithelium, is related to liver stem cell deregulation. FoxAs are a group of transcription factors that play critical roles in liver stem cell differentiation. In this study, the expression levels of FoxAs (i.e., FoxA1, FoxA2 and FoxA3) were detected in intrahepatic CCA tissues and the functions of FoxAs were studied in CCA cell lines. FoxA1 and FoxA2 were mainly localized in the nuclei of normal bile duct (NBD) cells and some of the cancer cells. Low expression of FoxA1 in CCA tissues (72%) was significantly correlated with poor prognosis. FoxA3 expression of CCA cells was localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm, whereas it was slightly detected in NBDs. High expression of FoxA3 in cancer tissues (61%) was significantly related to high metastasis status. These findings suggest the opposing roles of FoxA1 and FoxA3 in CCA. Moreover, the FoxA1-over-expressing CCA cell line exhibited a significant reduction in proliferative and invasive activities compared to control cells. Knockdown of FoxA3 in CCA cells resulted in a significant decrease in proliferative and invasive activities compared with control cells. Taken together, in CCA, FoxA1 is down-regulated and has tumor suppressive roles, whereas FoxA3 is up-regulated and has oncogenic roles.

Abstract
Ethnic diversity has been long considered as one of the factors explaining why the severe forms of dengue are more prevalent in Southeast Asia than anywhere else. Here we take advantage of the admixed profile of Southeast Asians to perform coupled association-admixture analyses in Thai cohorts. For dengue shock syndrome (DSS), the significant haplotypes are located in genes coding for phospholipase C members (PLCB4 added to previously reported PLCE1), related to inflammation of blood vessels. For dengue fever (DF), we found evidence of significant association with CHST10, AHRR, PPP2R5E and GRIP1 genes, which participate in the xenobiotic metabolism signaling pathway. We conducted functional analyses for PPP2R5E, revealing by immunofluorescence imaging that the coded protein co-localizes with both DENV1 and DENV2 NS5 proteins. Interestingly, only DENV2-NS5 migrated to the nucleus, and a deletion of the predicted top-linking motif in NS5 abolished the nuclear transfer. These observations support the existence of differences between serotypes in their cellular dynamics, which may contribute to differential infection outcome risk. The contribution of the identified genes to the genetic risk render Southeast and Northeast Asian populations more susceptible to both phenotypes, while African populations are best protected against DSS and intermediately protected against DF, and Europeans the best protected against DF but the most susceptible against DSS.
