Studies in animal models suggest that oxygen radicals are important in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. Cerulein, a decapeptide isolated from the skin of the frog, Hyla caerula, is closely related to the C-terminus of cholecystokinin and it is a potent stimulant of pancreatic exocrine secretion. The aim of the present study was to measure the activity of endogenous scavengers, superoxide...
Objectives. The Chinese herbal medicine Da-Cheng-Qi decoction can regulate a necrosis-apoptosis switch in injured pancreatic acinar cells. This study investigated the effects of rhein, a component of this medicine, on a necrosis-apoptosis switch in pancreatic rat AR42J cells. Methods. Cerulein-treated AR42J cells were used. After pretreatment with 479, 119.8, or 29.9 μ g/L rhein, cells were co...
The role of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and of its receptor A (ETA) blockade in oedematous acute pancreatitis (AP) remains unclear. In 40 male Wistar rats with i.p. cerulein-induced AP, lasting 4 hours, ET-1 2x0.5 nmol/kg and 2x1.0 nmol/kg or selective ETA antagonist LU 302146, 10 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg was given i.p. simultaneously with cerulein. Histological and ultrastructural studies of pancreatic spec...
Gukovsky, Ilya, Anna S. Gukovskaya, Thane A. Blinman, Vjekoslav Zaninovic, and Stephen J. Pandol. Early NF-kB activation is associated with hormone-induced pancreatitis. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 38): G1402–G1414, 1998.—Inflammation and cell death are critical to pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis. Here we show that transcription factor nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB), which r...
BACKGROUND Aberrant regulation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and the signaling pathways that regulate its activity have been found to be involved in various pathologies, particularly cancers, as well as inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a complex pathological process, depending on autodigestion caused by premature activation of zymogens. This study aimed to investi...
Curcuma longa (CL) has been reported to possess a variety of pharmacological activities. However, the effects of CL on acute pancreatitis (AP) have not yet been determined. To this end, we examined the effects of CL on cerulein-induced AP. Cell viability and cytokine productions were measured in pancreatic acini. Mice were divided into 3 groups: i) Normal group, ii) normal saline-treated group,...
Development of human chronic pancreatitis is associated with intrapancreatic accumulation of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) accompanied with an altered inflammatory response (Michalski et al., Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol. 2008;294:G50-G57). To investigate the role of pancreatic PACAP in the development of acute pancreatitis, we employed transgenic mice ov...
One of the most important and serious disorders of gastrointestinal tract is acute pancreatitis which in severe form is associated with high mortality rate particularly in the presence of systemic inflammatory response and multiple organ failure. Apoptosis linked to oxidative stress has been shown in the pancreas of the patients with acute pancreatitis. Lithium, one of the most effective drugs ...
Coagulation is recognized as a key player in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The aim of the current research was to examine the effect of pretreatment with acenocoumarol on the development of acute pancreatitis (AP) evoked by cerulein. METHODS AP was induced in rats by cerulein administered intraperitoneally. Acenocoumarol (50, 100 or 150 µg/kg/dose/day) or saline were given once daily ...
Objective: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial activities of Tribulus terrestris (T. terrestris) could be helpful in the treatment of acute pancreatitis; thus, this study was designed to investigate the effects of T. terrestris on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice. Materials and Methods: Three doses (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) of T. terrestris hydro-alcoholic extr...
