Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: We have previously demonstrated that enteral exclusion augments pancreatic p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) production after bile-pancreatic duct ligation in rats.
METHODS: In the present study, we evaluated c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation, and cytokine production, in pancreata of duct-ligated rats with and without duodenal bile-pancreatic juice replacement from a donor rat. We hypothesized that enteral exclusion of bile-pancreatic juice activates stress kinases and induces cytokine production in ligation-induced acute pancreatitis.
RESULTS: Increased JNK and ERK activation after ligation are inhibited by bile-pancreatic juice replacement. Increases in pancreatic production of IL-1beta and IL-12 after ligation are significantly subdued by replacement. In additional in vitro studies, we show that cholecystokinin- or TNF-alpha-stimulated nuclear transcription factor kappa-B activation in AR42J cells is inhibited by dominant negative ERK2.
CONCLUSIONS: Our novel findings using our Donor Rat Model indicate that bile-pancreatic juice exclusion induces MAP kinase activation and exacerbates cell stress and inflammation in this experimental model of gallstone pancreatitis. and IAP.
