Objective To investigate the expressions of Patched-1 (Ptch1) and glioma-associated oncogene homologl (Gli1) protein of sonic hedgehog signaling pathway in cholangiocarcinoma tissues, and explore their correlations to the occurrence and development of cholangiocarcinoma. Methods The expressions of Ptch1 and Gli1 protein in 62 specimens of cholangiocarcinoma and its bile duct tissues adjacent to cancer were detected by immunohistochemistry, and their positive rate correlated with patients, age, tumor size, differentiation grade, tumor location, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, operation mode, and postoperative survival time were investigated by statistical analysis. Results The positive rates of Ptch1 and Gli1 protein were significantly higher in cholangiocarcinoma than in tissues adjacent to cancer (74.2% vs. 14.5%, 88.7% vs. 9.7%, P < 0.05). The expressions of Ptch1 and Gli1 protein in cholangiocarcinoma had no correlation to patients age, tumor size, and tumor location (P > 0.05), but were correlated to the operation mode, differentiation grade, lymph node metastasis, TNM stage, and postoperative survival time of patients (P < 0.05). Conclusions The elevated expressions of Ptch1 and Gli1 protein of Hh signaling pathway participated in the occurrence and development of cholangiocarcinoma. They may be ideal targets for therapy against cholangiocarcinoma.
