چکیده

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.

Effect of mitogen-activated protein kinases on chemokine synthesis induced by substance P in mouse pancreatic acinar cells

Substance P, acting via its neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1 R), plays an important role in mediating a variety of inflammatory processes. Its interaction with chemokines is known to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. In pancreatic acinar cells, substance P stimulates the release of NFkappaB-driven chemokines. However, the signal transduction pathways by which substance P-...

Involvement of SRC family kinases in substance P-induced chemokine production in mouse pancreatic acinar cells and its significance in acute pancreatitis.

Substance P is known to play a key role in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. Src family kinases (SFKs) are known to be involved in cytokine signaling. However, the involvement of SFKs in substance P-induced chemokine production and its role in acute pancreatitis have not been investigated yet. To that end, we have used primary preparations of mouse pancreatic acinar cells as our model to ...

Induction of IkappaB-kinase by cholecystokinin is mediated by trypsinogen activation in rat pancreatic lobules.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Supramaximal concentrations of cholecystokinin (CCK) or cerulein induce the intracellular activation of trypsinogen and the transcription factor NF-kappaB, a key regulator of inflammatory gene expression. Both events occur early in the development of an acute pancreatitis. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between intracellular trypsinogen and NF-kappaB a...

CCK independently activates intracellular trypsinogen and NF-kappaB in rat pancreatic acinar cells.

In the cholecystokinin (CCK) hyperstimulation model of acute pancreatitis, two early intracellular events, activation of trypsinogen and activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), are thought to be important in the development of the disease. In this study, the relationship between these two events was investigated. NF-kappaB activity was monitored by using a DNA binding assay and mob-1 c...
