Oridonin overcomes PANC-1/Gem cell gemcitabine resistance by inducing cell death. (A and B) PANC-1/Gem cells treated with gemcitabine, oridonin or both for 24 h were analyzed using flow cytometry. Data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. **P<0.01. (C) Western blot analysis of Caspase 3, Caspase 9, Bax or Bcl-2 protein expression in PANC-1/Gem cells treated with gemcitabine, oridonin or both for 24 h. β-actin was used as a loading control. (D) Expression of Caspase 3, Caspase 9, Bax or Bcl-2 protein in PANC-1/Gem cells was detected. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01.

Abbreviations: Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma-2; Bax, Bcl-2-associated x protein.
