(A) Schematic representation of the animal experiment. (B–C) 7rh combined with a chemotherapy regimen (gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel) enhanced the overall median of survival in the KPC GEMM of PDA. (D–J) Immunohistological analyses of PDA tumors demonstrated that 7rh, chemotherapy, and the combination regimen significantly inhibited Ddr1-mediated signaling, the levels of the mesenchymal marker Vimentin and proliferation (Pcna) and induced apoptosis (Cleaved Caspase-3) and DNA damage (ΥH2ax). Error bars: (*, p < 0.05; **, p < 0.005; ***, p < 0.0005; ****, p < 0.00005) compared to the initial group; (^, p < 0.05; ^^, p < 0.005; ^^^, p < 0.0005; ^^^^, p < 0.00005) compared to the vehicle group, one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s MCT.
