Time-dependent effect of Haelan on the proliferation of pancreatic carcinoma cells and fibroblasts. CAPAN-1 cells, BxPC-3 cells, AR42J cells and fibroblasts were incubated with or without 8 % Haelan. After 24 h and 48 h, cell proliferation was measured using the WST-1 assay. Haelan induces a reduction in the proliferation of the pancreatic cancer cells, but not of the fibroblasts after 24 h. The proliferation of the cancer cells shows no reduction after 48 h with the exception of BxPC-3 cells. The results are expressed as mean + SEM (n = 6-12)
