Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the biliary tract originating from biliary epithelial cells. Although many therapeutic strategies have been developed to treat CCA, the survival rate for CCA patients is still quite low. Thus it is urgent to elucidate the pathogenesis of CCA and to explore novel therapeutic targets. miR-191 has been shown to be associated with many human solid cancers, but the function of miR-191 in CCA is still poorly understood.
