Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Alcohol abuse is the leading etiologic factor of pancreatitis, although many heavy drinkers do not develop pancreatic damage. Alcohol promotes pancreatitis through a combination of remote (e.g., increased gut permeability to bacterial products such as lipopolysaccharide) and more proximal effects (e.g., altered pancreatic cholinergic inputs), including oxidative damage at the level of the pancreatic acinar cell. Recent evidence indicates that alcohol exposure to rodents disturbs proteostasis in the exocrine pancreas, an effect counterbalanced by homeostatic processes that include both the unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy. A corollary to this notion is that pancreatitis results when adaptive responses are insufficiently robust to alleviate the cellular stress caused by alcohol.
