    Abstract:
    The microRNA miR-205-5p has diverse effects in different malignancies, including cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), but its effects on CCA progression is unclear. Here we investigated the role and function of miR-205-5p in CCA. Three CCA cell lines and human serum samples were found to have much higher expression levels of miR-205-5p than seen in typical cholangiocyte cell lines and healthy controls. Inhibition of miR-205-5p suppressed CCA cell motility, invasion and proliferation of KKU-213B whereby overexpression of miR-205-5p promoted cell proliferation and motility of KKU-100 cells. Bioinformatics tools (miRDB, TargetScan, miRWalk, and GEPIA) all predicted various miR-205-5p targets. Experiments using miR-205-5p inhibitor and mimic indicated that homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 3 (HIPK3) was a potential direct target of miR-205-5p. Overexpression of HIPK3 using HIPK3 plasmid cloning DNA suppressed migration and proliferation of KKU-100 cells. Notably, HIPK3 expression was lower in human CCA tissues than in normal adjacent tissues. High HIPK3 expression was significantly associated with longer survival time of CCA patients. Multivariate regression analysis indicated tissue HIPK3 levels as an independent prognostic factor for CCA patients. These findings indicate that overexpression of miR-205-5p promotes CCA cells proliferation and migration partly via HIPK3-dependent way. Therefore, targeting miR-205-5p may be a potential treatment approach for CCA.
