Introduction: The purpose of this research was to settle the role of brucine in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and the mechanisms involved. Methods: The findings of this study suggest that brucine exerts inhibitory effects on cell growth, clonogenicity, and invasive potential of Panc02 and Mia Paca-2 cells. These effects may be linked to an increase in apoptotic-prone cell population. Results: Gene sequencing data suggests that these effects are mediated through the induction of apoptosis. Experimental evidence further supports the notion that brucine reduces mitochondrial membrane potential and upregulates Bax expression while downregulating Bcl-2 expression. These effects are believed to be a result of brucine-mediated suppression of PI3K/Akt activity, which serves as a regulatory factor of mTOR, Bax, and Bcl-2. Suppression of PI3K activity enhances the tumor-suppressing effects of brucine. Conclusion: Overall, these findings suggest that brucine has therapeutic potential as a remedy option for PDAC. result: brucine exerts inhibitory effects on cell growth, clonogenicity, and invasive potential of Panc02 and Mia Paca-2 cells.

Brucine effectively decreases the proliferation of PDAC cells, likely by reducing MMP levels and initiating caspase-dependent apoptosis. Furthermore, the susceptibility of PDAC cells to apoptosis induced by brucine appears to be related to the inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling and downregulation of Bax expression. Based on the results of this study, brucine may represent a promising and innovative therapeutic target for PDAC.
