Clinical treatment options for human cholangiocarcinoma (CC) are limited. c-MET, a high-affinity receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), is deregulated in many cancers. Its role in cholangiocarcinogenesis remains unclear. In current study, 23 corresponding tumor- and non-tumor tissues, taken from patients with intrahepatic (iCC) and perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCC), who underwent liver resection, were analyzed. The relationship of clinicopathological features and c-MET, as well as c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) was evaluated. The anti-tumor effects of Tivantinib, a small-molecule inhibitor with potent activity against the c-MET kinase, was investigated in three human CC cell lines, namely HUCC-T1, TFK-1, and EGI-1. In comparison with the results obtained in non-tumor tissue samples, c-MET was overexpressed in 91.3 % of tumor tissues (p < 0.01). The JNK expression was higher in tumor tissue compared with the corresponding non-tumor tissue sample in 17.4% patients (p < 0.01). The inhibition of aberrant c-MET expression in human CC cell lines was achieved by blocking the phosphorylation of c-MET with Tivantinib. Notable losses in cell viability and colony-forming capability were detected (p < 0.01). Synergistic activation of the JNK/c-jun pathway was demonstrated after Tivantinib treatment. Knockdown of the JNK by siRNA or competitive binding of c-MET receptor by stimulation with HGF-antagonized anti-tumor effects of Tivantinib was observed. Our data suggest that inhibition of c-MET could be a possible alternative approach for the treatment of human CC, for which Tivantinib may an effective inhibitor. The synergistic activation of the JNK/c-jun pathway contributed to the elevated apoptosis in CC cells via treatment with Tivantinib.

Tivantinib通过协同激活胆管癌中JNK / c-jun途径靶向c-MET。

人类胆管癌(CC)的临床治疗选择有限。c-MET是肝细胞生长因子(HGF)的高亲和力受体,在许多癌症中均被放松调节。其在胆管癌发生中的作用尚不清楚。在当前的研究中,分析了23例相应的肿瘤组织和非肿瘤组织,这些组织取自接受肝切除的肝内(iCC)和肝门周围胆管癌(pCC)患者。评价了临床病理特征与c-MET以及c-jun N末端激酶(JNK)的关系。在三种人CC细胞系HUCC-T1,TFK-1和EGI-1中研究了具有抗c-MET激酶活性的小分子抑制剂Tivantinib的抗肿瘤作用。与在非肿瘤组织样品中获得的结果相比,c-MET在91.3%的肿瘤组织中过表达(p < 0.01)。在17.4%的患者中,肿瘤组织中的JNK表达高于相应的非肿瘤组织样品(p <0.01)。抑制人CC细胞系中c-MET异常表达的方法是用Tivantinib阻断c-MET的磷酸化。检测到细胞活力和集落形成能力显着下降(p <0.01)。Tivantinib治疗后证明了JNK / c-jun途径的协同激活。观察到通过siRNA抑制JNK或通过刺激HGF拮抗Tivantinib产生的c-MET受体竞争性结合。我们的数据表明,抑制c-MET可能是治疗人CC的一种可能的替代方法,替万替尼可能是一种有效的抑制剂。
