Cancer&Entry Information
| Cancer Name | cholangiocarcinoma |
| ICD-0-3 | NA |
| Methods | qPCR, Western blot etc. |
| Sample | CCA tissues |
| Expression Pattern | up-regulated |
| Function Description | For the part of functional assays, knockdown of UCA1 could attenuate CCA cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. Besides, UCA1 facilitates apoptosis via Bcl-2/caspase-3 pathway. In addition, UCA1 regulates migration and invasion potential of CCA cells by affecting EMT. Furthermore, AKT/GSK-3B axis was activated to upregulate CCND1 expression due to overexpression of UCA1 in CCA. To summary, UCA1 might be a potentially useful prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for CCA. |
