Epidemiological studies indicate diabetes mellitus and hyperglycemia as risk factors of cancers including cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). How high glucose promotes cancer development and progression, however, is still unrevealed. In this study, insight into the molecular pathway of high glucose promoting progression of CCA cells was investigated. Human CCA cell lines, KKU-213A and KKU-213B were cultured in normal glucose (NG; 5.56 mM) or high glucose (HG; 25 mM) and used as NG and HG cells. Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) expression was transiently suppressed using siFOXM1. Western blotting and image analysis were employed to semi-quantitatively determine the expression levels of the specified proteins. The migration and invasion of CCA cells were revealed using Boyden chamber assays. All HG cells exhibited higher expression of FOXM1 than the corresponding NG cells in a dose dependent manner. Suppression of FOXM1 expression by siFOXM1 significantly reduced migration and invasion abilities of CCA cells by suppression of Slug and MMP2 expression. Inhibition of STAT3 activation using Stattic, significantly suppressed expression of FOXM1 and Slug and decreased migration and invasion abilities of HG cells. In addition, EGFR expression was significantly higher in HG cells than NG cells and increased dependently with glucose concentration. Inhibition of EGFR activation by cetuximab significantly suppressed STAT3 activation and FOXM1 expression. The mechanism of high glucose promoting progression of CCA cells was revealed to be via in part by upregulation of FOXM1 expression under EGF/EGFR and STAT3 dependent activation.
