Abstract
While glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH1) enzymes mostly catalyze hydrolysis reactions, rice Os9BGlu31 preferentially catalyzes transglycosylation to transfer a glucosyl moiety to another aglycone moiety to form a new glycosylated compound through a retaining mechanism. In this study, Os9BGlu31 was used to synthesize eight phenolic acid glucosyl esters, which were evaluated for activities in cholangiocarcinoma cells. The transglycosylation products of Os9BGlu31 wild type and its mutant variants were detected, produced on a milligram scale, and purified, and their structures were characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The transglycosylation products were evaluated by antioxidant and anti-proliferative assays, followed by an anti-migration assay for the selected phenolic acid glucosyl ester. Os9BGlu31 mutants produced higher yield and activity than wild-type enzymes on phenolic acids to produce phenolic acid glucosyl esters. Among these, gallic acid glucosyl ester (β-glucogallin) had the highest antioxidant activity and anti-proliferative activity in cholangiocarcinoma cells. It also inhibited the migration of cholangiocarcinoma cells. Our study demonstrated that rice Os9BGlu31 transglucosidase is a promising enzyme for glycosylation of bioactive compounds in one-step reactions and provides evidence that β-glucogallin inhibits cell proliferation and migration of cholangiocarcinoma cells. KEY POINTS: • Os9BGlu31 transglucosidases produced phenolic acid glucosyl esters for bioactivity testing. • Phenolic acid glucosyl esters were tested for cytotoxicity in cholangiocarcinoma cells. • β-Glucogallin displayed the highest inhibition of cholangiocarcinoma cell growth.

Abstract
Background Changes in protein glycosylation have been reported in various diseases, including cancer; however, the consequences of altered glycosylation in meningiomas remains undefined. We established two benign meningioma cell lines-SUT-MG12 and SUT-MG14, WHO grade I-and demonstrated the glycan and glycosyltransferase profiles of the mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in the primary benign meningioma cells compared with two malignant meningioma cell lines-HKBMM and IOMM-Lee, WHO grade III. Changes in O-linked glycosylation profiles in malignant meningiomas were proposed. Methods Primary culture technique, morphological analysis, and immunocytochemistry were used to establish and characterize two benign meningioma cell lines. The glycan profiles of the primary benign and malignant meningiomas cell lines were then analyzed using lectin cytochemistry. The gene expression of O-linked glycosyltransferases, mucins, sialyltransferases, and fucosyltransferases were analyzed in benign and malignant meningioma using the GEO database (GEO series GSE16581) and quantitative-PCR (qPCR). Results Lectin cytochemistry revealed that the terminal galactose (Gal) and N-acetyl galactosamine (GalNAc) were highly expressed in primary benign meningioma cells (WHO grade I) compared to malignant meningioma cell lines (WHO grade III). The expression profile of mucin types O-glycosyltransferases in meningiomas were observed through the GEO database and gene expression experiment in meningioma cell lines. In the GEO database, C1GALT1-specific chaperone (COSMC) and mucin 1 (MUC1) were significantly increased in malignant meningiomas (Grade II and III) compared with benign meningiomas (Grade I). Meanwhile, in the cell lines, Core 2 β1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase-2 (C2GNT2) was highly expressed in malignant meningiomas. We then investigated the complex mucin-type O-glycans structures by determination of sialyltransferases and fucosyltransferases. We found ST3 β-galactoside α-2,3-sialyltransferase 4 (ST3GAL4) was significantly decreased in the GEO database, while ST3GAL1, ST3GAL3, α1,3 fucosyltransferases 1 and 8 (FUT1 and FUT8) were highly expressed in malignant meningioma cell lines-(HKBMM)-compared to primary benign meningioma cells-(SUT-MG12 and SUT-MG14). Conclusion Our findings are the first to demonstrate the potential glycosylation changes in the O-linked glycans of malignant meningiomas compared with benign meningiomas, which may play an essential role in the progression, tumorigenesis, and malignancy of meningiomas.

Abstract
PURPOSE In this study, we performed biological verification measurements of cell survival of a 12C ion irradiation plan employing a high-resolution 3D culture setup. This allowed, in particular, to access the cell inactivation in the low-dose regions close to the target area. MATERIALS AND METHODS We established the protocol for a 3D culture setup where xrs-5 cells were grown inside a layered matrigel structure in 384-well plates. Their radiosensitivity to conventional and 12C ion radiation was evaluated by irradiating them either with 250 kV X-rays at GSI or with monoenergetic 12C beams of 110 MeV/u at MIT, and compared with those of monolayers. A treatment plan for a rectangular target was prepared using the GSI research treatment planning system TRiP98. xrs-5 cells were seeded in the matrigel-based setup and irradiated in dose fall-off regions using active scanning 12C ion beams. In addition, film dosimetry utilizing radiochromic EBT3 film has been performed to assess the field homogeneity downstream of 384-well V-bottom plates with or without additional agarose coating of the well plate bottom. RESULTS Dose response curves following X-ray and 12C ion irradiation had linear shape and showed a significant decrease in survival fraction at even moderate doses. Survival measurements in the low-dose regions of the plan for the extended target showed good agreement to the predicted survival fraction. The irradiated film profiles yielded a flat dose distribution without apparent artifacts or inhomogeneities for well plates both with and without agarose coating, confirming the suitability of the experimental setup. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the V-bottom 384-well plates in combination with the radiation-sensitive xrs-5 cell line constitute a suitable radiobiological verification tool which can be used especially for low doses. Furthermore, the measured survival of xrs-5 cells show a good agreement with the expected survival in the low-dose out-of-field regions, both laterally and downstream of the target.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive tumor of the biliary epithelium with poor survival that shows limited response to conventional chemotherapy. Increased expression of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) contributes to drug resistance and the progression of various cancers; the expression profiles of GCS (UGCG) and the genes for glucocerebrosidases 1, 2, and 3 (GBA1, GBA2, and GBA3) were therefore studied in CCA. The biological functions of GCS for cell proliferation and cisplatin sensitivity in CCA were explored. GCS expression was higher in CCA tumor tissues than that of GBA1, GBA2, and GBA3. Verification of GCS expression in 29 paired frozen CCA tissues showed that 8 of 29 cases (27.6%) had high GCS expression. The expression of GCS and GBA2 was induced in CCA cell lines following low-dose cisplatin treatment. Suppression of GCS by either palmitoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (PPMP), GCS knockdown or a combination of the two resulted in reduced cell proliferation. These treatments enhanced the effect of cisplatin-induced CCA cell death, increased the expression of apoptotic proteins and reduced phosphorylation of ERK upon cisplatin treatment. Taken together, inhibition of the GCS increased cisplatin-induced CCA apoptosis via the inhibition of the ERK signaling pathway. Thus, targeting GCS might be a strategy for CCA treatment.

Abstract
Alteration of mucin-type O-glycosylation is implicated in tumor progression and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Core 1 β1-3 Galactosyltransferase (C1GALT1) is a primary enzyme that regulates the elongation of core 1-derived mucin-type O-glycans. Dysregulation of C1GALT1 has been documented in multiple cancers and is associated with aberrant core 1 O-glycosylation and cancer aggressiveness; however, the expression of C1GALT1 and its role in CCA progression remains unknown. Our study demonstrated that C1GALT1 was downregulated in CCA tissues at both the mRNA and protein levels. The biological function of C1GALT1 using siRNA demonstrated that suppression of C1GALT1 in the CCA cell lines (KKU-055 and KKU-100) increased CCA progression, evidenced by: (i) Induction of CCA cell proliferation and 5-fluorouracil resistance in a dose-dependent manner; (ii) up-regulation of growth-related genes, ABC transporter genes, and anti-apoptotic proteins; and (iii) an increase in the activation/phosphorylation of AKT and ERK in silencing C1GALT1 cells. We demonstrated that silencing C1GALT1 in CCA cell lines was associated with immature core 1 O-glycosylation, demonstrated by high expression of VVL-binding glycans and down-regulation of other main O-linked glycosyltransferases β1,3-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase 6 (B3GNT6) and ST6 N-Acetylgalactosaminide Alpha-2,6-Sialyltransferase 1 (ST6GALNAC1) in C1GALT1 knockdown. Our findings demonstrate that down-regulation of C1GALT1 in CCA increases the expression of immature core 1 O-glycan, enhancing CCA progression, including growth and 5-fluorouracil resistance via the activation of the AKT/ERK signaling pathway.

Abstract
RING finger protein 43 (RNF43) is a ubiquitin E3 ligase that negatively regulates Wnt/β-catenin signalling. Mutation, inactivation and downregulation of RNF43 in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) are associated with a less favourable prognosis. Since the functional role of RNF43 in CCA has not yet been demonstrated, the present study aimed to assess the effect of its overexpression in mediating CCA suppression via Wnt/β-catenin signalling pathway inhibition. Accordingly, RNF43 was overexpressed, and various malignant phenotypic changes studied, including cell proliferation, cell migration, chemotherapeutic sensitivity and the expression of several Wnt/β-catenin target genes. Overexpression of RNF43 in the CCA cell-line KKU-213B hindered activation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling, evidenced by: i) Accumulation of β-catenin in the cytoplasmic fraction and downregulation of several known Wnt target genes at the mRNA level [AXIN2, survivin (BIRC5), CCND1, MMP-7, c-MYC and ABCB1 (MDR1)]; ii) a reduction of cell proliferation; iii) a significant decrease in KKU-213B cell migration with RNF43 overexpression via upregulation of E-cadherin (CDH1); and iv) a reduction in N-cadherin (CDH2), MMP-2, MMP-7 and MMP-9. In addition, overexpression of RNF43 increased 5-fluorouracil sensitivity and downregulation of ABC transporter genes [including ABCB1 and ABCC1 (MRP1)]. The current results demonstrate a functional role for RNF43 in CCA by: i) Blocking β-catenin nuclear translocation; and ii) the subsequent downregulation of Wnt/β-catenin target genes (the latter being involved in the progression of CCA and chemotherapeutic drug susceptibility). Therefore, the present findings suggest that RNF43 could serve a tumour suppressive role in CCA.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to investigate the expression of O-linked
glycoprotein glycans in tissue of patients with cholangiocarcinoma compared
with adjacent normal tissue. Methods Sixty patients with cholangiocarcinoma were included in the study.
Permethylated O-linked glycans from intrahepatic
cholangiocarcinoma tissue and adjacent normal tissue were analyzed using
nano-spray ionization-linear ion trap mass spectrometry. Histochemistry of
peanut agglutinin lectin was used for detection and localization of
galactose (Gal) 1, N-acetyl-galactosamine (GalNAc) 1. Results O-linked glycans from patients with cholangiocarcinoma were
composed of di- to hexa-saccharides with a terminal galactose and sialic
acids (N-acetylneuraminic acid [NeuAc]). A total of eight
O-linked glycan structures were detected. Gal1GalNAc1 and
Gal2 N-acetyl-glucosamine 1 GalNAc1 expression was significantly higher in
tissue from patients with cholangiocarcinoma compared with adjacent normal
tissue, while NeuAc1Gal1GalNAc1 expression was significantly lower. High
Gal1GalNAc1 expression was significantly associated with the late stage of
cholangiocarcinoma (stages II–IV), lymphatic invasion, and vascular
invasion. Conclusion Our study shows expression of O-linked glycans in
progression of cholangiocarcinoma and highlights the association of
Gal1GalNAc1 with lymphatic and vascular invasion of cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of glycosphingolipids in serum and tissue from patients with cholangiocarcinoma compared with healthy controls. METHODS Nanospray ionization-linear ion trap mass spectrometry (NSI-MSn) was used to demonstrate the comparative structural glycomics of glycosphingolipids in serum from patients with cholangiocarcinoma (n=15), compared with healthy controls (n = 15). GM2 expression in cholangiocarcinoma tissues (n = 60) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Eleven glycosphingolipids were detected by NSI-MSn: CMH (ceramide monohexose), Lac-Cer (galactose (Gal)β1-4 glucose (Glc)β1-1'-ceramide), Gb3 (Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glcβ1-1'-ceramide), Gb4/Lc4 (N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)β1-3Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glcβ1-1'-ceramide/Galβ1-4 N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)β1-3Galβ1-4Glcβ1-1'-ceramide), GM3 (N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc)2-3Galβ1-4Glcβ1-1'-ceramide), GM2 (GalNAcβ1-4[NeuAc2-3]Galβ1-4Glcβ1-1'-ceramide), GM1 (Galβ1-3GalNAcβ1-4[NeuAc2-3]Galβ1-4Glcβ1-1'-ceramide), hFA (hydroxylated fatty acid)-CMH, hFA-Lac-Cer, hFA-Gb3, and hFA-GM3. Lac-Cer was the most abundant structure among the lactosides and globosides (normal, 24.40% ± 0.11%; tumor, 24.61% ± 2.10%), while GM3 predominated among the gangliosides (normal, 29.14% ± 1.31%; tumor, 30.53% ± 4.04%). The two glycosphingolipids that significantly differed between healthy controls and patients with cholangiocarcinoma were Gb3 and GM2. High expression of GM2 was associated with vascular invasion in tissue from patients with cholangiocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS Altered expression of glycosphingolipids in tissue and serum from patients with cholangiocarcinoma may contribute to tumor growth and progression. The ganglioside GM2, which significantly increased in the serum of patients with cholangiocarcinoma, represents a promising target as a biomarker for cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract
Gymnema inodorum (Lour.) Decne. (G. inodorum) is widely used in Northern Thai cuisine as local vegetables and commercial herb tea products. In the present study, G. inodorum extract (GIE) was evaluated for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in LPS plus IFN-γ-induced RAW264.7 cells. Major compounds in GIE were evaluated using GC-MS and found 16 volatile compounds presenting in the extract. GIE exhibited antioxidant activity by scavenging the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and increasing superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) mRNA expression in LPS plus IFN-γ-induced RAW264.7 cells. GIE showed anti-inflammatory activity through suppressing nitric oxide (NO), proinflammatory cytokine production interleukin 6 (IL-6) and also downregulation of the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and IL-6 mRNA levels in LPS plus IFN-γ-induced RAW264.7 cells. Mechanism studies showed that GIE suppressed the NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation and slightly decreased the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65) protein. Our studies applied the synchrotron radiation-based FTIR microspectroscopy (SR-FTIR), supported by multivariate analysis, to identify the FTIR spectral changes based on macromolecule alterations occurring in RAW264.7 cells. SR-FTIR results demonstrated that the presence of LPS plus IFN-γ in RAW264.7 cells associated with the increase of amide I/amide II ratio (contributing to the alteration of secondary protein structure) and lipid content, whereas glycogen and other carbohydrate content were decreased. These findings lead us to believe that GIE may prevent oxidative damage by scavenging intracellular ROS production and activating the antioxidant gene, SOD2, expression. Therefore, it is possible that the antioxidant properties of GIE could modulate the inflammation process by regulating the ROS levels, which lead to the suppression of proinflammatory cytokines and genes. Therefore, GIE could be developed into a novel antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent to treat and prevent diseases related to oxidative stress and inflammation.

Abstract
Performing realistic and reliable in vitro biological dose verification with good resolution for a complex treatment plan remains a challenge in particle beam therapy. Here, a new 3D bio-phantom consisting of 96-well plates containing cells embedded into Matrigel matrix was investigated as an alternative tool for biological dose verification. Feasibility tests include cell growth in the Matrigel as well as film dosimetric experiments that rule out the appearance of field inhomogeneities due to the presence of the well plate irregular structure. The response of CHO-K1 cells in Matrigel to radiation was studied by obtaining survival curves following x-ray and monoenergetic 12C ion irradiation, which showed increased radioresistance of 3D cell cultures in Matrigel as compared to a monolayer. Finally, as a proof of concept, a 12C treatment plan was optimized using in-house treatment planning system TRiP98 for uniform cell survival in a rectangular volume and employed to irradiate the 3D phantom. Cell survival distribution in the Matrigel-based phantom was analyzed and compared to cell survival in a reference setup using cell monolayers. Results of both methods were in good agreement and followed the TRiP98 calculation. Therefore, we conclude that this 3D bio-phantom can be a suitable, accurate alternative tool for verifying the biological effect calculated by treatment planning systems, which could be applied to test novel treatment planning approaches involving multiple fields, multiple ion modalities, complex geometries, or unconventional optimization strategies.

Abstract
Piperlongumine (PL) produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induces G2/M-phase arrest in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cells via the JNK/ERK pathway. A differential response to PL was observed among all CCA cell lines However, the underlying mechanisms have remained to be fully elucidated. The aim of the present study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of PL-induced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression in CCA cell lines. The anti-proliferative action of PL in the CCA cell lines KKU-100 and KKU-213A was analyzed using sulforhodamine B assays. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blot analyses were used to examine mRNA and protein expression. HO-1 inhibition was achieved using the chemical inhibitor zinc protophoryn or specific small interfering RNA to HO-1. Intracellular ROS was detected using a 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate fluorescence assay. High expression of phase-II detoxification enzymes, including NADPH quinone oxidoreductase-1, heme oxygenase-1, superoxide dismutases and aldo-keto reductase 1 subunits C-1 and 3, were detected in the KKU-100 cell line. Of the CCA cell lines tested, KKU-100 was the least sensitive to PL. Dose-dependent upregulation of HO-1 expression via PI3K/Akt activation was detected in PL-treated CCA cells. Inhibition of HO-1 eliminated the antioxidant defense mechanisms, leading to increased anti-cancer activity of PL in the CCA cell lines via an increase in intracellular ROS levels and apoptotic protein expression. These observations indicated that HO-1 inhibition had a chemosensitizing effect on CCA to PL.

Abstract
Changes in protein glycosylation have been reported in various types of cancer, including cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Nanospray ionization-linear ion trap mass spectrometry (NSI-MSn) was used in the present study to determine the comparative structural glycomics of the N-linked glycans in the serum of patients with CCA compared with healthy controls. A total of 5 high-mannose and 4 complex N-linked glycans were detected. Mannose7-N-acetyl-glucosamine2 was the most abundant structure among the high-mannose types (control 12.12±2.54 vs. CCA 9.27±2.66%), whereas NeuAc2H2N2M3N2 predominated the complex types (control 61.17±2.55 vs. CCA 64.68±4.23%). The expression of 3 different N-glycans differed significantly between the CCA cases and controls. These included mannose6-N-acetyl-glucosamine2 (P=0.044), mannose9-N-acetyl-glucosamine2 (Ρ=0.030) and NeuAc3H3N3M3N2F (Ρ=0.002). These three glycan structures may therefore be associated with tumor progression in CCA and may be useful for its diagnosis.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive, metastatic bile duct cancer. CCA is difficult to diagnose, and responds poorly to current radio- and chemo-therapy. Piperlongumine (PL) is a naturally-occurring small molecule selectively toxic to cancer cells by targeting reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we demonstrated the potential anticancer activity of PL in CCA. PL markedly induced death in CCA cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner through the activation of caspase-3 and PARP. PL also stimulated ROS accumulation in CCA. Co-exposure of PL with the ROS scavenger N-acetyl-L-cysteine or GSH completely blocked PL-induced apoptosis in CCA cell lines. Increased p21 via the p53-independent pathway in PL-treated CCA cells led to G2/M phase arrest and cell apoptosis. In addition, the study showed that PL trigger CCA cell lines death through JNK-ERK activation. Furthermore, the different antioxidant capacity of CCA cell lines also indicates the susceptibility of the cells to PL treatment. Our findings reveal that PL exhibits anti-tumor activity and has potential to be used as a chemotherapeutic agent against CCA.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly metastatic tumor, and the majority of patients with CCA have a short survival time because there are no available effective treatments. Hence, a better understanding regarding CCA metastasis may provide an opportunity to improve the strategies for treatment. A comparison study between the highly metastatic cells and their parental cells is an approach to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying the metastatic process. In the present study, a lung metastatic CCA cell line, KKU-214L5, was established by the in vivo selection of the tail vein-injected mouse model. KKU-214L5 cells possessed mesenchymal spindle-like morphology with higher migration and invasion abilities in vitro than the parental cells (KKU-214). KKU-214L5 also exhibited extremely aggressive lung colonization in the tail vein-injected metastatic model. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) was clearly observed in KKU-214L5 cells. Significant downregulation of epithelial markers (ZO-1 and claudin-1), with unique upregulation of E-cadherin and mesenchymal markers (vimentin, β-catenin, and slug), was observed in KKU-214L5. Increasing MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities and CD147 expression reflected the high invasion activity in KKU-214L5 cells. Suppression of vimentin using siRNA significantly decreased the migration and invasion capabilities of KKU-214L5 to almost the basal levels of the parental cells without any change on the expression levels of other EMT markers and the activities of MMPs. These results suggest that vimentin activation is essential to potentiate the metastatic characters of CCA cells, and suppression of vimentin expression could be a potential strategy to improve the treatment of CCA, a highly metastatic cancer.

Abstract
In this study, the binding of a glycosylated serine protease (EuP-82) with human fibrinogen was investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). ITC analysis indicated that the binding of EuP-82 to fibrinogen in the conditions with or without the activator (Ca2+ ) was an exothermic reaction (dominant negative enthalpy), which tended to be driven by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions. In contrast, the binding of fibrinogen-EuP-82 in the condition with the inhibitor (Zn2+ ) was an unfavorable endothermic reaction. EuP-82 could not inhibit the platelet activity in citrated whole blood via the ADP-receptor pathways (mainly, P2Y1 and P2Y12), but it could enhance the platelet aggregation. The ITC together with whole blood platelet aggregation suggested that EuP-82 provided multiple fibrinogen-binding sites that were not related to the arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) and the dodecapeptide sequences of fibrinogen. In addition, EuP-82 had neither thrombin-like activity nor anticoagulant activity. The SR-FTIR spectra revealed that EuP-82 was a glycoprotein. Deglycosylation of EuP-82 did not affect its proteolytic activity. Moreover, EuP-82 did not exhibit any toxicity to the living cells (NIH-3T3). This study supports that EuP-82 may be useful for wound-healing material through stabilizing the clot via the platelet induction for the first process.

Abstract
Protein glycosylation is the most common posttranslational modification in mammalian cells. Aberrant protein glycosylation has been reported in various diseases, including cancer. We identified and quantified the glycan structures of O-linked glycoprotein from cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cell lines from different histological types and compared their profiles by nanospray ionization-linear ion trap mass spectrometry (NSI-MSn). Five human CCA cell lines, K100, M055, M139, M213 and M214 were characterized. The results showed that the O-linked glycans of the CCA cell lines comprised tri- to hexa-saccharides with terminal galactose and sialic acids: NeuAc1Gal1GalNAc1, Gal2GlcNAc1GalNAc1, NeuAc2Gal1GalNAc1 NeuAc1Gal2GlcNAc1GalNAc1 and NeuAc2Gal2GlcNAc1GalNAc1 All five CCA cell lines showed a similar glycan pattern, but with differences in their quantities. NeuAc1Gal1GalNAc1 proved to be the most abundant structure in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (K100; 57.1%), moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma (M055; 42.6%) and squamous cell carcinoma (M139; 43.0%), while moderately to poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (M214; 40.1%) and adenosquamous cell carcinoma (M213; 34.7%) appeared dominated by NeuAc2Gal1GalNAc1. These results demonstrate differential expression of the O-linked glycans in the different histological types of CCA. All five CCA cell lines have abundant terminal sialic acid (NeuAc) O-linked glycans, suggesting an important role for sialic acid in cancer cells. Our structural analyses of glycans may provide important information regarding physiology of disease-related glycoproteins in CCA.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly metastatic tumor, and the lung is a common site of metastasis. A greater understanding of the biology of metastases is needed to improve treatment outcomes. Herein, a highly metastatic human CCA subline, KKU-213L5 from an original cell line, KKU-213 that has marginally metastatic ability, was established and characterized. KKU-213L5 was selected in vivo through the fifth serial passage of pulmonary metastasized tissues via tail-vein injection in NOD/scid/Jak3 mice. The metastatic abilities of the KKU-213L5 cells were compared with the parental line in vitro and in vivo. The expression profile of this metastatic cell line was determined using real-time PCR. KKU-213L5 cells were found to possess higher metastatic phenotypes, i.e., growth rates, stem cell surface markers (CD133), migration and invasion characteristics when compared with the parental cells. Compared to the KKU-213 cells, KKU-213L5 cells formed larger tumors in subcutaneous xenografted mice and had a >10-fold increase in lung metastases in the tail-vein injected metastatic mouse model. Mice injected intravenously with KKU-213L5 cells had a significantly shorter survival. Analysis of the expressed genes related to progression of cancer revealed significant upregulation of anterior gradient protein-2 (AGR2) and suppression of KiSS-1 in the KKU-213L5 cells. The association of these two genes with metastasis was affirmed in CCA patient tissues since increased AGR2 expression and decreased KiSS-1 expression were found in higher stage patient tumors. In conclusion, a highly metastatic human CCA cell line was established and characterized. It is plausible that the differential expression between the parental KKU-213 and highly metastatic KKU-213L5 cells may be beneficial to classify novel genes associated with metastasis. The KKU-213L5 cell line should serve as a valued device for discovering the molecular mechanisms of CCA metastasis and enabling the search for an effective therapy for the unmet clinical need in CCA.

Abstract
Ring finger E3 ligases have roles in processes central to maintenance of genomic integrity and cellular homeostasis. Many ring finger E3 ligases are implicated in malignancy. Ring finger protein 43 (RNF43) is a ring finger E3 ligase that negatively regulates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. RNF43 is frequently mutated in several types of malignancy, including intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). The significance of its expression in ICC has not, however, been reported. We determined RNF43 expression and identified RNF43 polymorphisms in ICC tissues. We also investigated the correlation between RNF43 expression and RNF43 mutation status, RNF43 polymorphisms, clinicopathological features, and prognosis of ICC patients. RNF43 reduced expression in ICC, and the reduction of RNF43 messenger RNA expression was significantly correlated with the presence of rs2257205 and RNF43 somatic mutations, confirming that all RNF43 somatic mutations in ICC are inactivating. Overall survival was worst in patients with down-regulation of RNF43. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that RNF43 expression was an independent prognostic factor. There was no statistically significant association between RNF43 messenger RNA and protein expression nor any clinicopathological features or RNF43 polymorphisms. The results imply that RNF43 is down-regulated in ICC and may play a crucial role during development of ICC.

Abstract
YKL-40, a chitinase-like glycoprotein, is expressed at a high level in cancer patients. Its exact function is unknown and is the subject of current investigation. Here, we report the correlation of plasma YKL-40 levels with clinicopathological features of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a lethal bile duct cancer, particularly prevalent in Northeastern Thailand. Statistical analysis of plasma YKL-40 concentrations in 57 CCA patients and 41 normal healthy subjects gave a median value of 169.5 ng/mL for CCA patients compared with 46.9 ng/mL for the control subjects (P < 0.0001). There was no significant association of plasma YKL-40 levels with patient age, tumor grade, or histology type. However, Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested that the elevated plasma YKL-40 level was particularly associated with short survival in CCA patients (P = 0.038). Immunohistochemical examination of 34 CCA tissues revealed low expression of YKL-40 in CCA cells, but high expression in adjacent intratumoral stroma, liver, and connective tissues. Univariate analysis showed significant association of the intratumoral YKL-40 expression in CCA tissues with the non-papillary type CCA. Addition of rYKL-40 in the culture medium and transient expression of YKL-40 in CCA cell lines were shown to promote the growth and migration of the tumor cells, and that YKL-40 interacted with a cell-surface receptor involved in the Akt/Erk-mediated pathway. In conclusion, our results support the proposal of YKL-40 as a new candidate prognostic biomarker for cancer diseases.

Abstract
MicroRNA, an endogenous noncoding RNA modulating gene expression, is a key molecule that by its dysregulation plays roles in inflammatory-driven carcinogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the role of oncomiR miR-21 and its target, the programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) in tumor growth and metastasis of the liver fluke Opisthorchis viverrini-associated cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The expression levels of miR-21 and PDCD4 were analyzed using the TaqMan miRNA expression assay and immunohistochemistry in liver tissues of both O. viverrini plus N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA)-treated hamsters and human CCA samples (n=23 cases). The functional assay for miR-21 was performed in CCA cell lines by the anti-miR-21 and pre-miR-21 transfection procedures. The peak of miR-21 levels were reached at 2 (hyperplastic lesions) and 6 (CCA) months of the O. viverrini plus NDMA-induced group and had a reverse response with its target PDCD4 proteins. In human CCA, miR-21 was overexpressed in tumor tissues when compared with nontumor tissues (P=0.0034) and had a negative correlation with PDCD4 protein (P=0.026). It was also found that high expression of miR-21 was significantly correlated with shorter survival (P<0.05) and lymph node metastasis (P=0.037) of CCA patients. Transient transfection of pre-miR-21 reduced the PDCD4 level and resulted in an increase of M213 CCA cell growth and wound-induced migration ability. These results indicated that miR-21 plays a role in the carcinogenesis and metastasis of O. viverrini-associated CCA by suppressing the function of PDCD4. Modulation of aberrantly expressed miR-21 may be a useful strategy to inhibit tumor cell phenotypes or improve response to chemotherapy.

Abstract
Surgical resection is the gold standard treatment and is considered the only potential cure for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). However, most of the patients present at a late stage of disease and positive margins are frequently encountered. Therefore, adjuvant therapeutic modalities, such as chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy are needed to improve the survival time of CCA patients. In this study, we analyzed retrospectively the clinical features, overall survival and efficacy with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for 171 intrahepatic CCA patients. All those with histologically proved intrahepatic CCA diagnosed during 1998-2002, at Srinagarind Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Khon Kean University, Thailand, were included in this study. All patients were considered to have resectable tumors with curative intent, 114 patients received postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil/mitomycin C, of which only 54 patients were given the full 6 cycle treatment. Mass forming type CCA was the major type found in our series. The predictive clinicopathological factors which influenced an unfavorable outcome were tumor size >4 cm, multiple masses, mass forming and periductal gross type, histology with poor differentiation, involvement of serosa, vasculature or diaphragm, advanced tumor stage and positive surgical margin. On the other hand, R0 resection, skeletonization of hepatoduodenal ligaments and complete postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were predictive of a favorable outcome. Multivariate analysis Cox proportional hazards models revealed that sex, tumor size, serosa involvement, surgical margin status, skeletonization and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were independently associated with long term survival post-surgery. Regardless of the surgical margin status, patients who received complete postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy had a significant survival advantage.
