                    In-vitro Model PANC-1 CVCL_0480 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
BxPC-3 CVCL_0186 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
AsPC-1 CVCL_0152 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
                    In-vivo Model Tumors were established by subcutaneous injection of 5*106 BxPC-3 cells into the flanks of male nude BALB/c mice.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Shikonin can suppress the growth of human pancreatic tumors and potentiate the antitumor effects of gemcitabine through the suppression of NF-kappaB and NF-kappaB-regulated gene products.

                    In-vitro Model AsPC-1 CVCL_0152 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
SW1990 CVCL_1723 Pancreatic adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
PANC-1 CVCL_0480 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
Capan-2 CVCL_0026 Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens
                    In-vivo Model PANC-1 cells suspension (5*107 cells) was injected subcutaneously into the right anterior armpit of female nude mice.
                    Experimental
                    Result(s)
Shikonin induces apoptosis and necroptosis in pancreatic cancer via regulating the expression of RIP1/RIP3 and synergizes the activity of gemcitabine.
