Outline of Final Research Achievements

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCC) is a strongly aggressive malignancy for which surgical resection is the only curative therapy. We had identified Cop35, (CCA-binding oligopeptide 35), by bacteriophage biopanning. Cop35 binds to specifically CCC cells and internalizes mediated by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and interact with endoplasmic reticulum chaperone GRP78. Everolimus inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells via the mTORC1 pathway while at the same time increasing autophagy. In CCC, everolimus suppressed cell proliferation and co-administered Cop35 enhanced the suppression via the inhibition of autophagy associated with suppressed GRP78 activity. Being a different measure from chemicals like chloroquine, cell growth inhibition enhanced by combined therapy of Cop35 with evelorimus in lesser concentration than that with 5FU may lead to a promising new approache in CCC therapy.
