Email: yanglimei_ [214@163.com](214@163.com).  \nBackground: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) exhibits aggressive progression, dense stromal remodeling, and resistance to chemotherapy, resulting in extremely poor survival. Although bevacizumabmediated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibition can suppress angiogenesis, clinical efficacy is limited by compensatory activation of alternative signaling pathways. Meanwhile, PDAC-associated hypercoagulability supports tumor progression, and warfarin has been reported to exert anti-tumor effects partly through inhibition of the growth arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6)/Axl-phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) axis. Given that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) also converges on the PI3K-Akt pathway, combining warfarin with bevacizumab may enhance therapeutic efficacy by cotargeting angiogenic and oncogenic signaling. This study aimed to evaluate the synergistic effects of warfarin  \nand bevacizumab in PDAC and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.  \nMethods: An integrated approach combining network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro assays was used. Bioinformatics tools identified key targets and pathways, with docking simulations assessing warfarin-target binding. Functional assays, including the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), wound healing, flow cytometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and Western blot, evaluated cell  \nproliferation, migration, apoptosis, and gene/protein expression related to EGFR-PI3K-Akt pathway.  \nResults: Integrated bioinformatics identified 70 overlapping targets between warfarin and pancreatic cancer, with EGFR, PI3K isoforms, and AKT1 as core hubs in the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network.  \nMolecular docking demonstrated strong warfarin binding to EGFR, PI3K catalytic isoforms, and AKT1 (ΔG \u003C−7.0 kcal/mol), while exhibiting moderate interaction with the PI3K regulatory subunit phosphoinositide- 3-kinase regulatory subunit 1 (PIK3R1, −6.1 kcal/mol) . In vitro validation showed that 0.8 mmol/L warfarin combined with 500 mg/L bevacizumab exhibited optimal anti-proliferative synergy (24-h Bliss score:  \n0.335; 48-h inhibition: 50.5%), while reducing wound closure versus blank (P\u003C0.001) . The combination elevated apoptosis to 10.11%(P\u003C0.001 vs. 1.19% blank) with B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) suppression (0.41-fold), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax, 1.12-fold) and cysteine-aspartic acid protease-3 (caspase-3, 0.93-fold) upregulation. Combination therapy synergistically downregulated EGFR (0.41-vs. 0.74-fold warfarin, P\u003C0.001) and PI3K (0.32-vs. 0.57-fold, P\u003C0.001) at messenger RNA (mRNA)/protein levels, while  \n^ ORCID: 0000-0002-6486-9077.  \n© AME Publishing Company.
