Propofol induces apoptosis and increases gemcitabine sensitivity in pancreatic cancer cells in vitro by inhibition of nuclear factor-κB activity

Figure 2 Evaluation of apoptosis of pancreatic cancer MIA-PaCa-2 cells after propofol treatment using terminal transferase dUTP nick-end labeling, DNA ladder and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. A: Propofol-induced apoptotic cell death by terminal transferase dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) after 72 h of 10-100 μmol/L propofol; B: DNA ladder indicative of apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells treated with 10-100 μmol/mL propofol for 72 h. C: Propofol-induced apoptosis measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after 72 h of 10-100 μmol/L propofol. ^aP < 0.05 vs control group.
