                    In-vitro Model AsPC-1 CVCL_0152 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
MIA PaCa-2 CVCL_0428 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
MDA-Panc-28 CVCL_3917 Pancreatic adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
                    In-vivo Model A small incision was made in the left abdominal flank of male athymic nu/nu mice, and luciferase transfected Panc-28 cells (1*106) in 50L PBS were injected into the subcapsular region of the pancreas with a 27-gauge needle.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Ursolic acid inhibits the growth of human pancreatic cancer and enhances the antitumor potential of gemcitabine in an orthotopic mouse model through suppression of the inflammatory microenvironment.
