Cancer metastasis is one of the hallmarks of aggressive cancer which correlates with the poor prognosis of patients. Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Metformin (Met), a first-line antidiabetic drug, has been suggested to reduce risk of some cancers. The present study, we found that Met inhibited migration in CCA cells, KKU-100 and KKU-M156, as assessed by wound healing assay. Met also suppressed cell invasion of KKU-452 and KKU-M156 cells by transwell chamber assay. Cisplatin, a standard drug treatment in CCA, used alone or in combination with Met exhibited antiproliferation, but Cis showed modest effects on migration and invasion. The antimigration and antiinvasion effects of Met may be related to the suppression of mTOR and FAK signalings. The role of FAK in migration was affirmed by using PF573228, a selective FAK inhibitor. PF573228 markedly inhibited cell migration in CCA cells similar to Met. These results provide an evidence that Met may be an effective agent for suppression of cancer metastasis. Acknowledgement.
