title: Neutrophil elastase inhibitor (ONO-5046.Na) suppresses the proliferation, motility and chemotaxis of a pancreatic carcinoma cell line, Capan-1.
abstract: ONO-5046. Na is a specific neutrophil elastase inhibitor. We investigated the in vitro effect of ONO-5046. Na on the proliferation, motility and chemotaxis of a pancreatic carcinoma cell line (Capan-1, well differentiated adenocarcinoma). ONO-5046. Na significantly suppressed the proliferation, motility and chemotaxis at a concentration of more than 100, 10 and 1 microgram/ml of ONO-5040. Na, respectively (p < 0.005, p < 0.05 and p < 0.05, respectively). These results indicate that ONO-5046. Na may have a role in preventing the progression and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma cells, suggesting that ONO-5046. Na may serve as an anti-cancer agent.
