Abstract

The mortality rate of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is high since there is a lack of a non-invasive technique to accurately detect tumors at the early stage. CCA biomarkers are consistently needed for various purposes including screening, early diagnosis, prognosis and follow-up. Herein, using bioinformatic analysis of our mitochondrial proteome database of CCA tissues, we identified cytokine-induced apoptosis inhibitor 1 (CIAPIN1) as a potential prognostic biomarker for CCA. CIAPIN1 levels in the sera of 159 CCA patients and 93 healthy controls (HC) were measured using a dot blot assay. The median level ± quartile deviation of CIAPIN1 level in the sera of CCA patient group was 0.5144 ± 0.34 µg/µL, which was significantly higher than 0.2427 ± 0.09 µg/µL of the HC group (p < 0.0001). In CCA patients, higher serum CIAPIN1 level was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis (p = 0.024) and shorter overall survival time (p = 0.001, Kaplan–Meier test). Cox regression analysis showed that the serum CIAPIN1 level can be an independent prognostic indicator for the survival of CCA patients. Moreover, for the prediction of CCA prognosis, CIAPIN1 is superior to CEA, CA19-9 and ALP. In conclusion, CIAPIN1 can be a serum biomarker candidate for the poor prognosis of CCA.
