Emodin is a commonly used traditional herbal treatment in China, including use for pancreatic malignancy. In this study, the potential for emodin to inhibit pancreatic cancer cell proliferation was examined using 4 human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines: Mia Paca-2, BxPC-3, Panc-1, and L3.6pl. WST-1 proliferation, propidium iodide flow cytometr...

The effects on histone acetylation of increased "endogenous" butyrate production produced by lactulose feeding, but not exogenous cecal infusion of butyrate, mirror those in vitro. Thus, bacterial production and exogenous infusion of butyrate have opposite effects on histone acetylation and cyclin D1 expression, suggesting that the composition of b...
