The effect of electrocumulation of 5-fluorouracil with the aid of electric field of constant current was studied in rats with experimental acute pancreatitis. 5-Fluorouracil was injected intraperitoneally in a dose of 4.5 mg per 100 g bw. Serum alpha-amylase, trypsin, trypsin inhibitor, lipase and total protease activity in the pancreatic tissue was studied as indicator of the treatment efficacy with 5-fluorouracil electro-cumulation. The levels of serum enzymes as well as the total proteolytic activity in the pancreatic tissue were far more decreased starting from the 3d-6th hour after induction of acute pancreatitis in rats treated by 5-fluorouracil with the aid of electric field of constant current as compared with other groups of rats. 相似文献

Cells respond to stress by upregulating the synthesis of cytoprotective heat shock proteins (HSPs) and antioxidant enzymes. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of cold (CWI) or hot water immersion (HWI) stress on three different acute pancreatitis models (cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK), sodium taurocholate (TC), and L-arginine (Arg)). We examined the levels of pancreatic HSP60, HSP72, and antioxidants after the water immersion stress. Male Wistar rats were injected with CCK, TC, or Arg at the peak level of pancreatic HSP synthesis, as determined by Western blot analysis. HWI significantly elevated HSP72 expression and CWI significantly increased HSP60 expression in the pancreas. Water immersion stress decreased the levels of pancreatic antioxidants. CWI and-HWI pretreatment ameliorated most of the examined laboratory and morphological parameters of CCK-induced pancreatitis. CWI pretreatment decreased pancreatic edema and the serum amylase level; however, the morphological damage was more severe in TC-induced acute pancreatitis. Overall, CWI and HWI pretreatment only decreased the serum cytokine concentrations in Arg-induced pancreatitis. CWI and HWI resulted in differential induction of pancreatic HSP60 and HSP72 and the depletion of antioxidants. The findings suggest the possible roles of HSP60 and (or) HSP72 (but not that of the antioxidant enzymes) in the protection against CCK- and TC-induced acute pancreatitis. Unexpectedly, CWI pretreatment was detrimental to the morphological parameters of TC-induced pancreatitis. It was demonstrated that CWI and HWI pretreatment only influenced cytokine synthesis in Arg-induced pancreatitis. 相似文献

Little is known about the changes in pancreatic enzyme storage in acute pancreatitis. We have performed flow cytometric studies of zymogen granules from rats with acute pancreatitis induced by hyperstimulation with caerulein. A comparison was made with rats treated with hydrocortisone (10 mg/kg/day) over 7 days before inducing pancreatitis in order to find out whether the amount of enzymes stored in the pancreas plays a key role in the development of pancreatitis. The potentially therapeutic effect of L-364,718 (0.1 mg/kg/day, for 7 days), a CCK receptor antagonist, was assayed in the rats with caerulein-induced pancreatitis which had previously received the hydrocortisone treatment. A significant increase in the intragranular enzyme content was observed 5 h after hyperstimulation with caerulein. The highest values were reached in the rats previously treated with hydrocortisone. The greatest pancreatic enzyme load was parallel to the highest values in plasma amylase, edema and haematocrit observed. Acute pancreatitis was reversed seven days later. At this stage smaller granules appeared in the pancreas whose enzyme content was similar to that of controls when no treatment was applied after pancreatitis. In contrast, L-364,718 administration prevented the favourable evolution of pancreatitis since the antagonism exerted on CCK receptors induced a blockade of secretion of the large amounts of enzymes stored in the pancreas. Moreover, the enzyme content in zymogen granules was below normal values since the stimulatory CCK action on enzyme synthesis can be inhibited by L-364,718. Our results suggest that the efficiency of CCK antagonists, as potential therapy, would also depend on the load of enzymes in the pancreas when acute pancreatitis is produced. 相似文献

The influence of regulatory peptides (somatostatin, calcitonin, and dalargin) on xanthine oxidase activity and lipid peroxidation level in pancreatic tissues as well as on the release of pancreatic enzymes (alpha-amylase, trypsin, lipase, and transamidinase) into blood was studied in 205 rats with experimental acute pancreatitis. Somatostatin and dalargin were shown to have obvious antioxidant effect seen by reduced xanthine oxidase activity and MDA level. All studied peptides stimulate reduced release of pancreatic enzymes. Particularly, reduction of dalargin and somatostatin is caused by inhibition of their synthesis as well as by pancreas protective effect of the peptides. Release of enzymes reduced by calcitonin is probably associated only with inhibition of secretory activity of the pancreas. 相似文献

Stimulation of capsaicin sensitive nerves or administration of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) before induction of acute pancreatitis (AP) attenuates pancreatic damage, whereas CGRP administration after development of AP aggravates lesion of pancreatic tissue. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of prolonged activity of sensory nerves or CGRP administration on the pancreatic repair after repeated episodes of AP. Five episodes of acute caerulein-induced pancreatitis (10 microg/kg/h for 5 h s.c.) were performed at weekly intervals in rats receiving either vehicle or capsaicin at the sensory nerve stimulatory dose (0.5 mg/kg, 3 times daily), or CGRP (10 microg/kg, 3 times daily). Two weeks after the last induction of AP morphological signs of pancreatic damage, pancreatic blood flow (PBF), serum and pancreatic amylase activity, fecal chymotrypsin activity, pancreatic weight, pancreatic RNA and DNA content, as well as, serum interleukin-1beta (Il-1beta ) were assessed. Pancreata of animals receiving vehicle alone showed almost full recovery within two weeks after last episode of pancreatitis induction. In capsaicin-treated group of rats, we observed the increase in PBF by 44% and in serum Il-1beta concentration by 91%. The pancreatic amylase activity, fecal activity of chymotrypsin, pancreatic nucleic acids content and DNA synthesis were decreased. In rats treated with CGRP the alterations in PBF, serum Il-1beta concentration, as well as, in pancreatic and fecal activity of enzymes were similar to capsaicin treated group but less pronounced. We conclude that prolonged activity of capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves and the presence of their main mediator-CGRP during pancreatic regeneration after AP leads to pancreatic functional insufficiency typical for chronic pancreatitis. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to assess the biochemical and histological signs of pancreatic damage development and pancreatic recovery in the course of ischemia-reperfusion induced pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis was induced in rats by limitation of pancreatic blood flow (PBF) in inferior splenic artery for 30 min using microvascular clips, followed by reperfusion. Rats were sacrificed at the time: 1 h, 12 h, 24 h, and 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21 and 28 days after ischemia. PBF was measured using laser Doppler flowmeter. Plasma amylase, interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) concentration, pancreatic DNA synthesis, as well as, morphological features of pancreatic damage were examined. Ischemia with reperfusion caused acute necrotizing pancreatitis followed by pancreatic regeneration. After removal of microvascular clips, PBF was reduced and the maximal fall of PBF was observed 24 h after ischemia, then PBF grew reaching the control value at 28th day. Plasma amylase activity was increased between 12th h and 3rd day with maximum at 24 h after ischemia. Also plasma IL-1beta and IL-10 were elevated with maximal value at the first and second day after ischemia, respectively. DNA synthesis was maximally reduced at the first day (by 70%) and from second day the reversion of this tendency was observed with full restoration of pancreatic DNA synthesis within four weeks. Morphological features of pancreatic tissue showed necrosis, strongly pronounced edema and leukocyte infiltration. Maximal intensity of morphological signs of pancreatic damage was observed between first and second day of reperfusion. During pancreatic regeneration between second and tenth day after ischemia the temporary appearance of chronic pancreatitis-like features such as fibrosis, acinar cell loss, formation of tubular complexes and dilatation of ducts was observed. The regeneration was completed within four weeks after pancreatitis development. We conclude that partial and temporary pancreatic ischemia followed by reperfusion causes acute necrotizing pancreatitis with subsequent regeneration within four weeks. Pancreatic repair after necrotizing pancreatitis is connected with the increase in plasma IL-10 concentration and transitory formation of tubular complexes. 相似文献

IGF-1 stimulates production of interleukin-10 and inhibits development of caerulein-induced pancreatitis. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

BACKGROUND/AIM: Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and other growth factors overexpression was reported in acute pancreatitis. Previous studies have shown the protective effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF), Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) and Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) in the course of experimental acute pancreatitis. The aim of our studies was to determine the effect of IGF-1 administration on the development of caerulein-induced pancreatitis. METHODS: Acute pancreatitis was induced by infusion of caerulein (10 micro/kg/h) for 5 h. IGF-1 was administrated twice at the doses: 2, 10, 50, or 100 micro/kg s.c. RESULTS: Administration of IGF-1 without induction of pancreatitis increased plasma interleukin-10 (IL-10). Infusion of caerulein led to development of acute edematous pancreatitis. Histological examination showed pancreatic edema, leukocyte infiltration and vacuolization of acinar cells. Also, acute pancreatitis led to an increase in plasma lipase and interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) level, whereas pancreatic DNA synthesis and pancreatic blood flow were decreased. Treatment with IGF-1, during induction of pancreatitis, increased plasma IL-10 and attenuated the pancreatic damage, what was manifested by histological improvement of pancreatic integrity, the partial reversion of the drop in pancreatic DNA synthesis and pancreatic blood flow, and the reduction in pancreatitis-evoked increase in plasma amylase, lipase and IL-1beta level. Protective effect of IGF-1 administration was dose-dependent. Similar strong protective effect was observed after IGF-1 at the dose 2 x 50 and 2 x 100 microg/kg. CONCLUSIONS: (1) Administration of IGF-1 attenuates pancreatic damage in caerulein-induced pancreatitis; (2) This effect is related, at least in part, to the increase in IL-10 production, the reduction in liberation of IL-1beta and the improvement of pancreatic blood flow. 相似文献

Acinar cell injury early in acute pancreatitis leads to a local inflammatory reaction and to the subsequent systemic inflammatory response, which may result in multiple organ dysfunction and death. Inflammatory mediators, including chemokines and substance P (SP), are known to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. It has been shown that pancreatic acinar cells produce the chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in response to caerulein hyperstimulation, demonstrating that acinar-derived MCP-1 is an early mediator of inflammation in acute pancreatitis. Similarly, SP levels in the pancreas and pancreatic acinar cell expression of neurokinin-1 receptor, the primary receptor for SP, are both increased during secretagogue-induced experimental pancreatitis. This study aims to examine the functional consequences of exposing mouse pancreatic acinar cells to SP and to determine whether it leads to proinflammatory signaling, such as production of chemokines. Exposure of mouse pancreatic acini to SP significantly increased synthesis of MCP-1, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha), as well as MIP-2. Furthermore, SP also increased NF-kappaB activation. The stimulatory effect of SP was specific to chemokine synthesis through the NF-kappaB pathway, since the increase in chemokine production was completely attenuated when pancreatic acini were pretreated with the selective NF-kappaB inhibitor NF-kappaB essential modulator-binding domain peptide. This study shows that SP-induced chemokine synthesis in mouse pancreatic acinar cells is NF-kappaB dependent. 相似文献

A case of acute Weber-Christian disease is reported, in which pancreatitis was accompanied by evidence of dissemination of pancreatic enzymes causing necrosis of fat and vessels. There is clinical and experimental evidence in the literature to suggest that widespread vascular dissemination of lipase occurs in cases of pancreatitis or pancreatic carcinoma. Review of the autopsy literature of cases of Weber-Christian disease shows that a majority had pancreatitis and systemic involvement of fat. A minority showed lesions confined to the panniculus, which tended to ulcerate; these lesions were in other ways not typical of Weber-Christian disease. In this group none had autopsy evidence of pancreatitis.The opinion is expressed that Weber-Christian disease results from disruption of pancreatic tissue and subsequent vascular dissemination of pancreatic enzymes. 相似文献

Studies in humans have shown that pancreatic enzyme secretion is reduced during acute pancreatitis. It is not known, however, whether the reduction is due to impaired synthesis or disruption of the secretory pathway. The rate of secretion and turnover of trypsin was measured in 12 patients with acute pancreatitis of variable etiology and severity (median Ranson's score 2.5, range 0-5, 4 with severe necrotizing disease) and eight healthy volunteers by 4-h primed/continuous intravenous infusions of 1-(13)C-labeled l-leucine, and collection of pancreatic secretions by duodenal perfusion and sampling. Trypsin secretion was reduced from 476 +/- 73 to 153 +/- 60 U/h (means +/- SE, P = 0.005) in acute pancreatitis, with the greatest reductions being observed in patients with necrotizing disease (32 +/- 7 U/h, P = 0.003). The time for newly labeled trypsin to first appear in digestive juice was not, however, delayed in pancreatitis patients (87.2 +/- 11.1 vs. 94.7 +/- 4.9 min); on the contrary, there was an early appearance of newly labeled trypsin at 30 min in patients with severe necrotizing pancreatitis (P < 0.05). Calculated zymogen pool turnover was unchanged, but pool size was decreased (P = 0.01). Despite low rates of luminal secretion, trypsin continues to be synthesized in patients with acute pancreatitis. Our findings could be explained by post-Golgi leakage of enzymes from acinar cells or by loss of synthetic function in some cells with preservation in others. 相似文献

Acute pancreatitis is accompanied by the enhanced expression of EGF in the pancreas and the administration of EGF was found to exhibit the beneficial effect on edematous cerulein-induced pancreatitis. Therefore, we decided to determine the influence of EGF on necro-hemorrhagic pancreatitis induced by ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Acute pancreatitis was induced in rats by restricting the pancreatic blood flow (PBF) in the inferior splenic artery for 30 min using microvascular clips. EGF was administered three times daily (10 microg/kg per dose s.c.) starting immediately after the clips removal. Rats were sacrificed on day 1, 3, 5, 10 and 21 following ischemia. PBF was measured using a laser Doppler flowmeter. Morphological signs of pancreatitis, as well as the levels of plasma amylase, lipase, interleukin-1beta and interleukin-10 concentration and pancreatic cell proliferation were examined. Results: Ischemia with reperfusion caused acute necro-hemorrhagic pancreatitis with a histological and biochemical manifestation of pancreatic damage, followed by a spontaneous regeneration. The administration of EGF caused the reduction in the histological signs of pancreatic damage, such as necrosis, edema and leukocyte infiltration, and accelerated the pancreatic repair. Also, EGF treatment significantly attenuated the reduction in pancreatic blood flow and DNA synthesis. The activity of plasma amylase and lipase, as well as plasma interleukin-1beta and interleukin-10 concentrations were decreased in EGF treated animals. CONCLUSIONS: EGF exerts beneficial influence on the course of I/R induced pancreatitis and this effect seems to be related to the reduction in the activation of pro-inflammatory interleukin cascade, the improvement of PBF, and the increase in pancreatic cell growth. 相似文献

Autodigestion of the pancreas by its own prematurely activated digestive proteases is thought to be an important event in the onset of acute pancreatitis. Although lysosomal hydrolases, such as cathepsin B, play a key role in intrapancreatic trypsinogen activation, it remains unclear where and how trypsinogen meets these lysosomal enzymes. Autophagy is an intracellular bulk degradation system in which cytoplasmic components are directed to the lysosome/vacuole by a membrane-mediated process. To analyze the role of autophagy in acute pancreatitis, we produced a conditional knockout mouse that lacks the autophagy-related (Atg) gene Atg5 in the pancreatic acinar cells. The severity of acute pancreatitis induced by cerulein is greatly reduced in these mice. In addition, Atg5-deficient acinar cells show a significantly decreased level of trypsinogen activation. These data suggest that autophagy exerts a detrimental effect in pancreatic acinar cells by activation of trypsinogen to trypsin. We propose a theory in which autophagy accelerates trypsinogen activation by lysosomal hydrolases under acidic conditions, thus triggering acute pancreatitis in its early stage. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that ischemic preconditioning protects several organs, including the pancreas, from ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury. The aim of the investigation was to determine whether ischemic preconditioning affects the course edematous pancreatitis. METHODS: In rats, ischemic preconditioning was performed by short-term clamping the celiac artery. Acute pancreatitis was induced by caerulein. The severity of acute pancreatitis was evaluated between the first and tenth day of inflammation. RESULTS: Ischemic preconditioning applied alone caused a mild pancreatic damage. Combination of ischemic preconditioning with caerulein attenuated the severity of pancreatitis in histological examination and reduced the pancreatitis-evoked increase in plasma lipase and pro-inflammatory interleukin-1beta. This effect was associated with an increase in plasma level of anti-inflammatory interleukin-10 and partial reversion of the pancreatitis-evoked drop in pancreatic DNA synthesis and pancreatic blood flow. In secretory studies, ischemic preconditioning in combination with induction of acute pancreatitis attenuated the pancreatitis-evoked decrease in secretory reactivity of isolated pancreatic acini to stimulation by caerulein. In the initial period of acute pancreatitis, ischemic preconditioning alone and in combination with caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis prolonged the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), increased plasma level of D-dimer and shortened the euglobulin clot lysis time. The protective effect of ischemic preconditioning was observed during entire time of experiment and led to acceleration of pancreatic regeneration. CONCLUSIONS: Ischemic preconditioning reduces the severity of caerulein-induced pancreatitis and accelerates pancreatic repair; and this effect is related to the activation of fibrinolysis and reduction of inflammatory process. 相似文献

This study was planned to observe the effects of nitric oxide synthesis on the antioxidative defense enzymes and pancreatic tissue histology in caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis was induced by intraperitoneal injections of 50 microg/kg caerulein, L-arginine used for NO induction and N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) used for NO inhibition. In the caerulein group acinar cell degeneration, interstitial inflammation, oedema and haemorrhage were detected. Pancreatic damage scores were decreased with both NO induction and inhibition (p<0.05). MDA, GSH-Px, CAT, GSH and SOD activities were significantly changed in the caerulein group and indicated increased oxidative stress. Both NO induction and inhibition decreased this oxidative stress. It is concluded that both nitric oxide induction and inhibition ameliorated caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. The findings indicate that a certain amount of NO production has beneficial effects in experimental acute pancreatitis, but uncontrolled over-production of NO may be detrimental. 相似文献

Ghrelin attenuates the development of acute pancreatitis in rat. 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

BACKGROUND: Ghrelin, a circulating growth hormone-releasing peptide isolated from human and rat stomach, stimulates growth hormone secretion, food intake and exhibits gastroprotective properties. Ghrelin is predominantly produced by a population of endocrine cells in the gastric mucosa, but its presence in bowel, pancreas, pituitary and hypothalamus has been reported. In human fetal pancreas, ghrelin is expressed in a prominent endocrine cell population. In adult pancreatic islets the population of these cell is reduced. The aim of present study was to investigate the influence of ghrelin administration on the development of acute pancreatitis. METHODS: Acute pancreatitis was induced in rat by caerulein injection. Ghrelin was administrated twice (30 min prior to the first caerulein or saline injection and 3 h later) at the doses: 2, 10 or 20 nmol/kg. Immediately after cessation of caerulein or saline injections the following parameters were measured: pancreatic blood flow, plasma lipase activity, plasma interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) concentration, pancreatic DNA synthesis, and morphological signs of pancreatitis. RESULTS: Administration of ghrelin without induction of pancreatitis did not affect significantly any parameter tested. Caerulein led to the development of acute edematous pancreatitis. Treatment with ghrelin at the dose 2 nmol/kg, during induction of pancreatitis, was without effect on pancreatic histology or biochemical and functional parameters. Treatment with ghrelin at the dose 10 and 20 nmol/kg attenuated the development of pancreatitis and the effects of both doses were similar. Administration of ghrelin (10 or 20 nmol/kg) reduced inflammatory infiltration of pancreatic tissue and vacuolization of acinar cells. Also, plasma lipase activity and plasma IL-1beta concentration were reduced, and caerulein-induced fall in pancreatic DNA synthesis was reversed. Administration of ghrelin at the dose 10 and 20 nmol/kg was without effect on caerulein-induced pancreatic edema and pancreatitis-related fall in pancreatic blood flow. CONCLUSIONS: (1) Administration of ghrelin attenuates pancreatic damage in caerulein-induced pancreatitis; (2) Protective effect of ghrelin administration seems Background: Ghrelin, a circulating growth hormone-releasing peptide isolated from human and rat stomach, stimulates growth hormone secretion, food intake and exhibits gastroprotective properties.

The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on oxidative stress in experimental acute necrotizing pancreatitis 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Yasar M Yildiz S Mas R Dundar K Yildirim A Korkmaz A Akay C Kaymakcioglu N Ozisik T Sen D 《Physiological research / Academia Scientiarum Bohemoslovaca》2003,52(1):111-116
Various protocols may be used for acute pancreatitis treatment. Recently, the benefit of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been demonstrated. To clarify the mechanism of HBO on the process of the acute pancreatitis, we determined the levels of antioxidant enzymes in an acute pancreatitis model. Forty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: Group I: sham group (n=15), Group II: pancreatitis group (n=15), Group III: pancreatitis group undergoing HBO therapy (n=15). HBO was applied postoperatively for 5 days, two sessions per day at 2.5 fold absolute atmospheric pressure (ATA) for 90 min. Superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH Px) activity were measured in pancreatic tissue and erythrocyte lysate. MDA and GSH Px were also determined in plasma. In addition, amylase levels were measured in the serum. While serum amylase levels and MDA values in erythrocyte, plasma and pancreatic tissue were decreased, the levels of GSH Px and SOD were found to be significantly increased in the Group III as compared to those of the Group II. The findings of our study suggest that HBO has beneficial effects on the course of acute pancreatitis and this effect may occur through the antioxidant systems. 相似文献

Caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis was studied in rats. Consistent with this type of acute pancreatitis morphological (edema, leukocytic infiltration and acinar cell vaculization) and biochemical (increase in pancreatic protein content. PAF release and serum amylase) changes developed 5 hours after caerulein administration. In addition increase in pancreatic weight and decrease in pancreatic blood flow were noticed. PAF administration caused pancreatic damage similar in some parameters to caerulein-induced pancreatitis, along with reduction of pancreatic blood flow, increase in pancreatic protein content, and serum amylase. TCV-309, a selective PAF antagonist, administered prior to caerulein and/or PAF, reduced caerulein-induced pancreatitis and prevented PAF-induced pancreatitis. Results of our present studies indicate the crucial role of PAF in pathogenesis of experimental acute pancreatitis. 相似文献

Acute pancreatitis leads to pancreatic damage followed by subsequent regeneration. The aim of our study was to evaluate the presence of growth factors in the course of spontaneous pancreatic regeneration after ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced pancreatitis. METHODS: In rats, I/R was evoked by clamping of splenic artery for 30 min followed by reperfusion. Rats were sacrificed 1, 5, 12 h or 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 or 21 days after removal of vascular clips. Pancreatic blood flow (PBF), plasma lipase, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-10, pancreatic cells proliferation and morphological signs of pancreatitis were determined. Pancreatic presence of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A) and transforming growth factor-beta type II receptor (TGFbeta RII) was detected by immunohistochemisty. RESULTS: Exposure to I/R led to the development of acute necrotizing pancreatitis followed by regeneration. Morphological features showed maximal pancreatic damage between the 1(st) and 2(nd) day of reperfusion. It was correlated with a maximal increase in plasma lipase, and pro-inflammatory IL-1beta concentration, as well as, a reduction in PBF and pancreatic DNA synthesis. I/R increased FGF-2 content in pancreatic acinar cells between the 12(th) and 24(th) h, and between 5(th) and 9(th) day of reperfusion. At the 2(nd) day the presence of FGF-2 in pancreatic acinar cells was reduced. After I/R PDGF-A appeared in pancreatic vessels from the 12(th) h to 5 (th) day of reperfusion. PDGF-A was not observed in pancreatic acinar cells in the control or in I/R group. In pancreatic ducts, the presence of PDGF-A was reduced between the 1(st) and 3(rd), and between 7(th) and 9(th) day of reperfusion. In acinar cells, VEGF content was increased after I/R at the time between the 1(st) and 24(th) h, and between 3(rd) and 7(th) day of reperfusion. At the 2(nd) day of reperfusion, VEGF was not detected in the pancreatic acinar cells. Moreover, VEGF was found in the inflammatory infiltration, in the tubular complexes between the 2(nd) and 5(th) day, and in granulation tissue at the 9(th) day of reperfusion. In pancreatic acinar cells, I/R caused an increase in TGFbeta RII presence between the 5(th) and 24(th) h, and between 7(th) and 9(th) day of reperfusion. Between the 2(nd) and 5(th) day of reperfusion the acinar presence of TGFbeta RII was reduced. In the pancreatic ducts, the presence of TGFbeta RII was increased after I/R from the 1(st) h to 9(th) day of observation. Four weeks after induction of acute pancreatitis, the pancreatic regeneration was completed and the presence of growth factors tested returned to control value. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of FGF, VEGF, PDGF-A and TGFbeta RII is modified in the course of I/R-induced acute pancreatitis. Maximal content of FGF, VEGF and TGFbeta RII has been observed in early stage of pancreatic regeneration suggesting the involvement these factors in pancreatic recovery. 相似文献

Metal ions are required as active components of several proteins, including pancreatic enzymes, and they can play important roles in the etiopathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. In the present study, we measured the concentrations of zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) in both serum and pancreatic tissue, as markers of trace element status in an experimental acute pancreatitis model. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into two groups: the experimental group (N=24) and the control group (N=10). Acute pancreatitis was induced by injection of 48% ethyl alcohol into the common biliary duct. The animals were sacrificed 24 h later to detect the concentrations of Zn and Cu. There was no significant difference in tissue Zn and Cu concentrations between control and experimental groups (p<0.05). However, in the acute pancreatitis group, serum Zn and Culevels were very significantly lower (p<0.001 and p<0.0001, respectively). In conclusuion, these findings suggested that altered mineral metabolism in serum and pancreatic tissue may have contributed to the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis. 相似文献
