Quantitative proteomics analysis reveals possible anticancer mechanisms of 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine in cholangiocarcinoma cells.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive cancer originating from bile duct epithelium, particularly prevalent in Asian countries with liver fluke infections. Current chemotherapy for CCA often fails due to drug resistance, necessitating novel anticancer agents. This study investigates the potential of 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA), a naturally occurring nucleoside, against CCA.

Two Recombinant Bacteriocins, Rhamnosin and Lysostaphin, Show Synergistic Anticancer Activity Against Gemcitabine-Resistant Cholangiocarcinoma Cell Lines.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a bile duct cancer with a high mortality rate, has a poor prognosis due to its highly invasive and drug-resistant phenotypes. More effective and selective therapies are urgently needed. Bacteriocins are broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides/proteins produced by bacterial strains to compete with other bacteria.
