Induction of cell death by gemcitabine. a Quantification of cell death of 6606PDA, 6606l, and 7265PDA cells grown in unsupplemented medium (Sham) or medium supplemented with 625 nM gemcitabine (Gem) using a trypan blue exclusion assay. Significant differences between indicated cohorts (*P ≤ 0.005); and significant differences between cells of the identical cell line (^#P ≤ 0.001) grown in gemcitabine versus control medium are shown in the box plot (number of independent experiments: n = 10 for 6606PDA; n = 8 for 6606l, n = 7 for 7265PDA)
