Adenosine Induces Autophagy in Cholangiocarcinoma Cells

Background/Aim: Cholangiocarcinoma is a lethal disease with increasing incidence worldwide. New therapeutic compounds are urgently needed for this disease. Here, the inhibitory effect of adenosine on cholangiocarcinoma cells was studied. Materials and Methods: Western blot analysis was used to study autophagy and flow cytometry to analyze cell death and the cell cycle. Results: Cholangiocarcinoma and immortalized cholangiocytes responded to...
