The Expression of CD24 "do-not-eat-me" Signal in Cholangiocarcinoma
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
The investigators found an inverse relationship between CD24 and MiR-122 levels. Then the investigators found that CD24 that goes up with MiR-122 down makes macrophages unable to engulf the tumor cells. All this in mice. the investigators are interested in confirming this result in humans. Details of the preliminary results are attached to the submission of the research documents. the investigators will compare Cholangiocarcinoma tumors with other solid tumors, including liver tissue. The need to deepen understanding the investigators will also make a comparison between cancerous tissue and "normal" tissue adjacent to the tumor.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- the investigators will analyze ductular reaction and cancer stem cells markers including CD24, CD44 — All along the study, from the first recruitment to the last recruitment. average of 1 year
