Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 5A Independently Predicts Poor Prognosis of Cholangiocarcinoma Patients and Regulates the Ferroptosis and Mitochondrial Apoptosis.

ABSTRACT: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a hepatobiliary carcinoma characterized by the differentiation of bile duct cells, and the patients with CCA often have a poor prognosis. Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) is reported to have multiple biological activities. Targeted activation of ferroptosis may be a therapeutic strategy for cancer. Nevertheless, the effects of eIF5A and ferroptosis on CCA are still elucidated. Our study explored the effects of eIF5A in CCA, and the mechanisms also are studied. In this paper, TCGA database analysis suggested that eIF5A was upregulated in CCA, and high expression of eIF5A might predict a poor prognosis. Moreover, FANCD2, SLC7A11, and HSPB1 were significantly overexpressed in CCA. The results indicated that eIF5A was overexpressed in CCA tissues
