BUB1B promotes extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma progression via JNK/c-Jun pathways.

ABSTRACT: Currently, the controversy regarding the expression profile and function of BUB1B in different malignancies still exist. In this project, we aimed to explore the role and molecular mechanism of BUB1B in the progression of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC). The expression levels of BUB1B in human ECC were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, western blot, and real-time PCR. The role and mechanism of BUB1B in CCA cell proliferation and invasion were investigated in both in vitro and in vivo functional studies. To indicate the clinical significance, a tissue microarray was performed on 113 ECC patients, followed by univariate and multivariate analyses. The expression of BUB1B was increased in both human CCA tissues and CCA cells. Results from loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiment
