| Disease Name: | Cholangiocarcinoma |
| Sample: | CCA tissues and cells |
| Dysfunction Pattern: | regulation[YY1/PCAT1/miR-216a-3p/BCL3 axis] |
| Validated Method: | Western Blot//Wound Healing Assay//CCK8//qRT-PCR//Colony Formation Assay//EdU Staining//Transwell Assay |
| Description: | In this study, we found that PCAT1 was up-regulated in CCA tissues and cells, and the PCAT1 overexpression was associated with poor prognosis.This study revealed that PCAT1 acted as an oncogene in CCA, and the YY1/PCAT1/miR-216a-3p/BCL3 axis exhibited critical functions in CCA progression. |
| Causality: | Yes |
| Causal Description: | Amplified PCAT1 was found to promote tumor proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT process, whereas PCAT1 knockdown inhibited these malignant phenotypes. |
| Clinical-realted Application: | In this study, we found that PCAT1 was up-regulated in CCA tissues and cells, and the PCAT1 overexpression was associated with poor prognosis.Moreover, PCAT1 was assessed as an independent risk factor of prognosis for CCA patients. |
