Elevated gene expression levels of inflammatory factors in PDAC tissue. RNA was extracted from PDAC (𝑛=30) and normal pancreatic tissue samples (𝑛=10) and assessed for relative gene expression levels of the inflammatory factors, IL-6 (a), COX-2 (b), CCL2 (c), CCL20 (d) TGFβ (e), and IDO (f). *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.05, ***𝑃<0.001.
