3 Fig. 1 Frequent concomitant activation of AKT and Yap pathways along human cholangiocarcinogenesis. Immunohistochemical pattern of cytokeratin 19 (CK19), HEP PAR1, phosphorylated/activated (p-) AKT, and Yap in a human intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (ICC). The ICC case depicted in two magnifications (40× and 100×) shows an upregulation of p-AKT in the tumor part (T) and activation of the Yap cascade (as indicated by Yap nuclear accumulation) when compared with non-tumorous surrounding liver (SL). (Scale bar: 500μm for 40×; 200μm for 100×). H&E, haematoxylin and eosin staining. CK19 and HEP PAR1 were used as biliary and hepatocellular markers, respectively.

(Scale bar: 200μm for 100×; 50μm for 400×). (B) Representative immunoblotting in wild-type (WT) and AKT/YapS127A liver tissues. GAPDH and β-actin were used as loading controls.

7 Fig. 5 MLN0128 inhibits ICC cell growth in vitro. (A) The expression of key components in both mTORC1/2 cascades was detected in 8 CCA cell lines by Western blot for screening. (B) Six cell lines were selected with high mTORC1/2 cascades and were treated with escalating concentrations of MLN0128, and IC50 was determined after 48h treatment. (C) Representative immunoblotting in HuCCT1 and KMCH cells treated with vehicle or IC50 concentration of MLN0128 for different time points. GAPDH and β-actin were used as loading controls.

(B) Phenotype of AKT/YapS127A ICC mice 6.5w.p.i. after 3weeks treatment with either vehicle or MLN0128. (C) Gross images and H&E staining of livers from vehicle- and MLN0128-treated AKT/YapS127A mice. (Magnification: 100×, Scale bar: 200μm).

(F) CK19, Ki-67 and TUNEL staining in livers from AKT/YapS127A mice with either vehicle or MLN0128 treatment. Representative staining images were shown in the upper panel. CK19 IHC staining was quantified and demonstrated as the percentage of positive staining area of the whole area. Ki-67 and TUNEL positive cells were counted and quantified as proliferation and apoptosis index. Quantified data are presented as mean±SE in lower panel. *p<0.05; ***p<0.001 by ​t test.

9 Fig. 7 MLN0128 suppresses both mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling, leading to apoptosis in AKT/YapS127A ICC. Western blot was performed to analyze mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling (A), proliferation (B) and apoptosis (C) in ICC tissues from control AKT/YapS127A mice 3.5w.p.i and AKT/YapS127A mice 6.5w.p.i after threeweeks of MLN0128 treatment.
