     Abstract An invent Next-generation sequencing has been discovered the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) alterations as a key driver mutation contributing to cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Recently, many FGFR inhibitors have been approved to treat metastatic CCA. However, the drug resistance is remained a major obstacle to achieve a better overall survival in CCA patients. This study investigates the concurrent inhibition of FGFR and its main downstream PI3K/mTOR pathway, to suppress the oncogenic phenotypes in CCA model. The CCA cells were treated with a FGFR inhibitor (infigratinib) and a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor (PKI-402) for various concentrations and times. The cytotoxicity was determined by SRB assay. Effect of the treatments on antiproliferation, cell death, and cell cycle arrest were determined using AO/EB staining and flow cytometry. The results of antiproliferative assay showed combination treatment of infigratinib and PKI-402 exerted more cytotoxicity on CCA cells than either single agent treatment. In addition, PKI-402 significantly enhanced antiproliferative effect of infigratinib through G2/M cell cycle arrest in KKU-M213A cells. More importantly, a combined treatment showed more potent to promote apoptotic inducing effect in CCA cells while the single agent caused less effect on apoptosis (less than 3%). Our study revealed that combined inhibition of FGFR and PI3K/mTOR pathways could be a promising therapeutic strategy to improve the treatment outcomes especially for FGFR inhibitors.
