Different signaling pathways of cholangiocarcinoma

HGF/Met activation induces a accumulation of cellular processes, together with cell scattering, advance and proliferation. Although a series of studies have been reported per the association in between Met countenance and CCA, the molecular mechanisms by that HGF induces CCA advance are not utterly understood.

A investigate essay published on Feb 14, 2010 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology addresses this question. The investigate group led by Dr. Suthiphongchai T from Mahidol University used dual CCA cell lines overexpressing Met, KKU-M213 and HuCCA-1, to investigate the purpose of Met in CCA advance by activating the Met pathway with HGF. HGF strongly prompted advance and motility of the dual CCA cell lines and concomitantly changed E-cadherin localization from surface to cytosol, but did not affect the levels of secreted MMP-2, MMP-9 or uPA.

Signaling pathways obliged for HGF-induced advance were serve investigated. HGF prompted ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways of both CCA cell lines but with opposite kinetic profiles. HGF prompted postulated ERK activation in the KKU-M213 cell line, but transitory ERK activation in HuCCA-1 cells. Using specific inhibitors of PI3K and ERK pathways, it was shown that HGF-induced advance of KKU-M213 was strongly indifferent by both inhibitors, whilst that of HuCCA-1 was strongly indifferent by PI3K inhibitor but usually wrongly indifferent by ERK inhibitor. Thus, the signaling pathways obliged for HGF-induced invasiveness of the dual CCA cell lines were different, in that PI3K pathway was usual for both cell lines, since the purpose of ERK1/2 was expected to be contingent on the generation of ERK1/2 activation.

These formula supposing some-more report on the bargain of the signaling mechanisms obliged for HGF-induced CCA invasiveness, that might be beneficial for identifying improved targets for CCA care and for conceptualizing suitable healing plan to fit each particular patient.
