Objective To explore the role of DNA methylation in the pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma and its progress as a therapeutic target for cholangiocarcinoma.Method The relevant literatures at home and abroad in recent years about the DNA methylation and cholangiocarcinoma were reviewed.Results Methylation is a frequent event in cholangiocarcinoma and effect the occurrence and development of cholangiocarcinogenesis. DNA methylation inhibitors reactivate tumor suppressor genes.Conclusions DNA methylation is closely related to the cholangiocarcinogenesis. Despite there is no effective clinical therapeutics and diagnosis at present, with further study, DNA methylation is expected to be one of the new target to treatment and diagnosis this disease.
