Abstract Pancreatic cancer frequently causes extrahepatic cholestasis. To identify the direct effects of bile acids in jaundiced serum on pancreatic cancer, the proliferation of PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2 cells as well as the ultrastructural alteration of PANC-1 cells cultured in crude bile modified media were studied. The growth of these cells in the RPMI-1640 media with or without 1%, 2%, and 4% of the refined crude bile was assessed after 48 and 96 h of incubation. The ultrastructure of PANC-1 cells was investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy after 24 and 48 h of incubation. The proliferation of both cell lines in the bile-treated media was greatly inhibited. The inhibitory rates of bile on PANC-1 ranged from 24.1% ± 3.3% to 66.9% ± 6.6% (P 〈 0.01) and those on MIA PaCa-2 ranged from 16.7% ± 3.8% to 50.7% ± 5.5%. (P 〈 0.01). When the bile-added media were replaced, the cells were able to restore their proliferating ability. The PANC-1 cells incubated in the bile-supplied media indicated that the mirovilli, mitochondria, and other organelles had thus been injured. These results suggest that bile acids appear to inhibit the proliferation of PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2 cells, and the probable inhibitory mechanism is mainly considered to be due to the cytotoxicity of such bile acids.
