Genetic risk in chronic pancreatitis: the misfolding-dependent pathway
نویسنده
چکیده
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Genetic risk in chronic pancreatitis is partly due to mutations that cause misfolding of digestive enzymes and elicit endoplasmic reticulum stress. This review examines recent developments in this concept. RECENT FINDINGS The best characterized misfolding variants in the highly expressed digestive proteases cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) and carboxypeptidase A1 (CPA1) are strong, causative risk factors for chronic pancreatitis and may be associated with autosomal dominant hereditary pancreatitis. SUMMARY Properties of misfolding digestive enzyme mutants indicate that endoplasmic reticulum stress is a highly relevant pathological mechanism and a potential therapeutic target in chronic pancreatitis.

The protective effect of nano-curcumin in experimental model of acute pancreatitis: The involvement of TLR4/NF-kB pathway
Objective(s): The objective of the present study is to explore whether Nanocurcumin improves pancreatic inflammation through the inhibition of the TLR4/NFkB signaling pathway in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. Methods: Acute pancreatitis was induced by five intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of cerulein (50 μg/kg) with 1h intervals. Vehicle and nanocurcumin (100mg/kg/day) were given to the a...
متن کاملHereditary pancreatitis caused by mutation-induced misfolding of human cationic trypsinogen: a novel disease mechanism.
We investigated the biochemical properties and cellular expression of the c.346C>T (p.R116C) human cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) mutant, which we identified in a German family with autosomal dominant hereditary pancreatitis. This mutation leads to an unpaired Cys residue with the potential to interfere with protein folding via incorrect disulfide bond formation. Recombinantly expressed p.R116C t...
متن کاملHuman cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) variants and chronic pancreatitis.
Variations in the serine protease 1 (PRSS1) gene encoding human cationic trypsinogen have been conclusively associated with autosomal dominant hereditary pancreatitis and sporadic nonalcoholic chronic pancreatitis. Most high-penetrance PRSS1 variants increase intrapancreatic trypsin activity by stimulating trypsinogen autoactivation and/or by inhibiting chymotrypsin C-dependent trypsinogen degr...

متن کاملAcute Pancreatitis (AP) and Dietary Habbits
Inflammation of pancreatic parenchyma is said to be pancreatitis. It can be acute, presenting as emergency with short history or chronic as a continuation of acute with a long history. Autodigestion is responsible for pancreatitis on background of premature activation of pancreatic enzymes within the pancreas. Acute Pancreatitis is acute inflammation of the pancrease which can be mild to modera...
