WP1 Identification of a CCA-Associated Microbiome Signature
This aim is to comprehensively identify characteristic alterations across the microbiome, metabolome, and host genome in patients with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
WP2 Functional Analysis of Candidate Bacteria using "Cholangiocyte organoid model"
This aim will validate the pathogenic potential of candidate bacteria identified in WP1 by assessing their direct impact on cholangiocytes in a sophisticated in vitro model.
Others
WP2 Functional Characterization of Candidate Bacteria in Advanced In Vitro Models:
Patient derived cholangiocyte organoids integrated into microfluidic devices, candidate bacteria will be functionally tested for their ability to induce epithelial dysfunction, inflammatory signaling, and oncogenic pathways. This two year project provides crucial mechanistic insights linking the biliary microbiome and CCA pathogenesis, establishing the foundation for future in vivo validation and microbiome based diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
Initiate multiomics analysis (WP1). Establish cholangiocyte organoid models and optimize coculture systems (WP2). Identify top candidate bacteria and prepare functional validation studies. Complete functional characterization of candidate pathobionts (WP2). Integrate data across both work packages, prepare manuscripts for publication in high impact journals.

Male and Female
Individuals aged 20 or older who are clinically suspected of having biliary tract cancer, present with a malignant stricture in any part of the biliary tract and suspected impaired bile outflow, and are undergoing ERCP.
Individuals aged 20 or older undergoing ERCP for impaired bile outflow due to common bile duct stones, or for biliary strictures associated with benign biliary stricture, chronic pancreatitis, or liver disease.
Individuals meeting the diagnostic criteria for cholangitis (Tokyo Guidelines 2018) [6].
Individuals with a history of sphincterotomy or biliary stent placement.
Individuals who received antibiotics within the one month prior to the ERCP procedure.
Individuals who received anticancer drugs within the one month prior to the ERCP procedure.
Individuals otherwise deemed unsuitable for study participation by the principal investigator.
