Chronic Clonorchis sinensis (CS) infection is etiologically related to cholangiocarcinoma (CHCA) in human and animals. This study was carried out to clarify the role of CS infection on dimethylnitrosamine (DMN)-induced cholangiocarcinogenesis. Fifteen hamsters were administered with 15 ppm DMN for 4 weeks and one week later, the hamsters were infected with 15 metacercariae of CS (DMN-->CS group). The other 15 hamsters were infected with CS and after 5 weeks they were treated with the drug, praziquantel. Again one week later, the hamsters were administered with DMN (CS-->DMN group). The other 15 hamsters were administered with DMN and CS simultaneously (CS+DMN group). Histopathological examination of the livers showed CHCA with papillary or adenomatous hyperplasia of bile ductules in 3 of 15 hamsters of DMN-->CS group and in 11 of 15 hamsters of DMN+CS group. These results suggest that CS infection to hamsters may have a promoting effect on the development of CHCA.
