Extracellular vesicles of Clonorchis sinensis promote the malignant phenotypes of cholangiocarcinoma via NF-κB/EMT axis.

Clonorchis sinensis infection is an important risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). It has been reported that extracellular vesicles (EVs) are involved in the parasite-host interaction, and EVs of C. sinensis (CsEVs) can contribute to biliary injuries and inflammation.
