It was concluded that omega-3 fatty acid could inhibit the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 cells and promote their apoptosis. The down-regulation of the cyclin E expression by omega-3 fatty acid might be one of the mechanisms for its anti-tumor effect on pancreatic cancer. \n\nModulatory effects of EPA and DHA on proliferation and apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells.\nZhang W, Long Y, Zhang J, Wang C.\nJ Huazhong Univ Sci Technolog Med Sci. 2007 Oct;27(5):547-50.\nPMID: 18060632
