| Abstract | Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a tumor arising from cholangiocytes lining the bile ducts. Vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis are important prognostic factors for disease staging as well as clinical therapeutic decisions for CCA patients. In the present study, we applied CCA sera proteomic analysis to identify a potential biomarker for prognosis of CCA patients. Then, using bioinformatics tools, we identified angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) which expressed highest signal intensity among candidate proteins in proteomic analysis of CCA sera. Expression of ANGPTL4 in CCA tissues was determined using immunohistochemistry. The results showed that ANGPTL4 was stained at higher level in CCA cells when compared with normal cholangiocytes. The high expression of ANGPTL4 was associated with lymph node metastasis and advanced tumor stage (p = 0.013 and p = 0.031 respectively). Furthermore, serum ANGPTL4 levels in CCA and healthy control (HC) were analyzed using a dot blot assay. And it was found that ANGPTL4 level was significantly higher in CCA than HC group (p < 0.0001). ROC curve analysis revealed that serum ANGPTL4 level was effectively distinguished CCA from healthy patients (cutoff = 0.2697 arbitrary unit (AU), 80.0% sensitivity, 72.7% specificity, AUC = 0.825, p < 0.0001). Serum ANGPTL4 level was associated with vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis (p = 0.0004 and p = 0.006), so that it differentiated CCA with vascular invasion from CCA without vascular invasion (cutoff = 0.5526 AU, 64.9% sensitivity, 92.9% specificity, AUC = 0.751, p = 0.006) and it corresponded to CCA with/without lymph node metastasis (cutoff = 0.5399 AU, 71.4% sensitivity, 70.8% specificity, AUC = 0.691, p = 0.01) by ROC analysis. Serum ANGPTL4 levels showed superior predictive efficiency compared with CA 19-9 and CEA for vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis. In addition, serum ANGPTL4 level was an independent predictive indicator by multivariate regression analysis. In conclusion, serum ANGPTL4 could be a novel prognostic biomarker for prediction of vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis of CCA patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
