Suppression of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cell growth by SKI via upregulation of the CDK inhibitor p21

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 12, Issue 12, Page 2122-2135, December 2022., 2022
We analyzed clinical intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CC) samples, focusing on the microRNA‐3648 and its target mRNA, the tumor suppressor Sloan Kettering Institute (SKI). We found that SKI was involved in the transcription of the cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor p21. SKI–p21 signaling may act as a brake, preventing cell cycle progression in G1 phase,

Efficiency of the Stool‐PCR Test Targeting NADH Dehydrogenase (Nad) Subunits for Detection of Opisthorchis viverrini Eggs

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Opisthorchis viverrini infection is the major parasitic infection problem in Southeast Asian countries, and long‐term infection will lead to cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), the bile duct cancer. The early diagnosis of O. viverrini infection may interrupt the progression of the opisthorchiasis and other related illnesses, especially CCA.
