Core Tip	Pretreatment of cells with propofol for 24 h followed by gemcitabine resulted in significant growth inhibition compared with gemcitabine alone. Overall growth inhibition correlated directly with apoptotic cell death. Propofol potentiated gemcitabine-induced killing by downregulation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). In contrast, NF-κB was upregulated when pancreatic cancer cells were exposed to gemcitabine alone. These results suggested that inactivation of the NF-κB signaling pathway by propofol abrogated gemcitabine-induced activation of NF-κB resulting in the chemosensitization of pancreatic tumors to gemcitabine.
