SAGE process1. Isolate the mRNA of an input sample.2. Extract a small chunk of sequence from a defined

position of each mRNA molecule.3. Link these small pieces of sequence together to form

a long chain4. Clone these chains into a vector which can be taken

up by bacteria.5. Sequence these chains using modern high-

throughput DNA sequencers6. Process this data with a computer to count the small

sequence tags

37

Conclusion CCA is a malignant cancer, its early state for diagnosis and very poor

prognosis because its low response to treatments.

The need of targeted molecules with novel chemopreventive and adjuvant

therapeutic strategies for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of CCA

patients have been increasing in nowadays.

Overexpression of MetAP2 play a crucial role in several cancers especially

in CCA development .

Inhibition of MetAP2 activity by its inhibitors is lethal for cancers

No studies regarding effects of TNP-470 adjuvant with chemotherapeutic

drugs in CCA has been reported, therefore, this effects are of our interest.

Diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma

Diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma Require histopathology and is a diagnosis of exclusion; a pathologic staging system

The diagnosis of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is often made clinically, and is aided by cytologic fluorescent in situ hybridization studies; staging systems for this subtype of cholangiocarcinoma are still evolving

Diagnosis of distal extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma can usually be confirmed by cytology; stage is highly dependent upon depth of invasion of surrounding structures

phosphorylated and incorporated into RNA where it causes

miscoding and halts protein synthesis.

Side effectsVomitingPoor appetite sores in mouth, lips, or throat hair loss or thinning (may include face and body hair) diarrhea dry, flaky, cracking skin

GemcitabineGemcitabine diphosphate effectively inhibits

ribonucleotide reductase inducing a depletion of cellular deoxynucleotides (dNTP). On the one hand this will inhibit DNA synthesis by lack of sufficient DNA precursors.

weakness, loss of appetite, headache, cough, chills, and muscle aches); hair loss; infection (fever, chills, sore throat);

Side effects

Irinotecan

prevents DNA from unwinding by inhibition of topoisomerase 1

55

Side-effectsThe most significant adverse effects of irinotecan are severe diarrhea and

extreme suppression of the immune system.Diarrhea

Irinotecan-associated diarrhea is severe and clinically significant, sometimes leading to severe dehydration requiring hospitalization or intensive care unit admission. This side-effect is managed with the aggressive use of antidiarrheals such as loperamide or Lomotil with the first loose bowel movement.

ImmunosuppressionThe immune system is adversely impacted by irinotecan. This is reflected

in dramatically lowered white blood cell counts in the blood, in particular the neutrophils. The patient may experience a period of neutropenia (a clinically significant decrease of neutrophils in the blood) while the bone marrow increases white cell production to compensate.

cisplatinthese platinum complexes react in vivo, binding to

and causing crosslinking of DNA which ultimately triggers apoptosis (programmed cell death)

Nephrotoxicity (kidney damage)

Neurotoxicity (nerve damage)

Ototoxicity (hearing loss)

Side effects

Folinic acidFolinic acid, therefore, allows for some purine/pyrimidine

synthesis to occur in the presence of dihydrofolate reductase inhibition, so that some normal DNA replication and RNA transcription processes can proceed.
