Genome-Wide Molecular Signature of Cholangiocarcinoma and Its Trandifferentation-Related Genes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is an aggressive tumor that shows a poor survival rate even after resection. The present study aimed at identification of the genome-wide expressed genes related to CC oncogenesis and its sarcomatous transdifferentiation using DNA microarray technology. The differentially expressed genes in 9 cholangiocarcinoma cell lines (Choi.CK, Cho.CK, J.CK, S.CK, CK.L1, CK.L2, CK.P1, CK.P2 and CK.Y1) were analyzed in comparison with 4 kinds of cultured biliary epithelial cells (ND.1, ND.2, ND.3 and ND.4) using the Illumina Human-6 v2 BeadChip (48 K). Unsupervised hierachical clustering analysis perfectively classified the 13 cell samples into two groups, normal biliary epithelial (N) and immortalized biliary epithelial cells and CC (T) cells. We identified 120 commonly upregulated ( > 2.5 fold) genes and 340 commonly downregulated ( < 0.4-fold) genes in the two groups. Hierachical clustering analysis of sarcomatoid CC cells (S.CK) revealed 316 differentially upregulated genes (> 4-fold) and 335 downregulated genes (< 0.25-fold).) compared with 3 CC cell lines (Choi.CK, Cho.CK, and J.CK). In conclusion, these data will contribute to better understand the molecular mechanisms of oncogenesis and transdifferentiation in CC and provide the molecular targets for CC diagnosis and therapy.
