Abstract | BACKGROUND: STUDY DESIGN: In vitro, we assessed that FUT175 inhibited both TNF-α- and gemcitabine-induced NF-κB activation and enhanced apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer cell lines (MIAPaCa-2 and AsPC-1). In vivo, we established a xenograft pancreatic cancer model in mice by subcutaneous injection of MIAPaCa-2 and AsPC-1. The animals were treated with AxCAhTNF-α intratumorally and gemcitabine intraperitoneally once a week (combination group) or AxCAhTNF-α intratumorally and gemcitabine intraperitoneally once a week as well as FUT175 intraperitoneally 3 times a week (triple combination group). RESULTS: In vitro, FUT175 inhibited both TNF-α- and gemcitabine-induced NF-κB activation and enhanced induction of apoptosis. In the triple combination group, tumor growth in vivo was significantly slower and there were more apoptotic cells than in the combination group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:
