Background: XPO1 mediates the nuclear export of several proteins, mainly tumor suppressors. KPT-330 (Selinexor) is a selective inhibitor of XPO1 that has demonstrated good therapeutic effects in hematologic cancers. Methods: We used TCGA and GTEx pan-cancer database to evaluate XPO1 mRNA expression in various tumors. Cell proliferation assay and colony formation assay were used to analyze the in vitro antitumor effects of XPO1 inhibitor KPT-330. Western blot was performed to explore the specific mechanisms. Results: We found that XPO1 was highly expressed across a range of cancers and associated with poor prognosis in hepatobiliary and pancreatic tumors. We revealed that the XPO1 inhibitor KPT-330 triggered the nuclear accumulation of the p53 protein and significantly disrupted the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells. Mechanistically, the XPO1 inhibitor, KPT-330, reduced BIRC6 expression by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT pathway to decrease p53 degradation and improve its stability. Conclusion: Therefore, XPO1 may be a potential therapeutic target in cholangiocarcinoma, mediated by its effects on KPT-330.
