The co-localization of the lysosomal protease cathepsin B (CTSB) and the digestive zymogen trypsinogen is a prerequisite for the initiation of acute pancreatitis. However, the exact molecular mechanisms of co-localization are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the role of lysosomes in the onset of acute pancreatitis by using two different experimental approaches.

Background/aims: Astaxanthin (ATX) is a naturally occurring carotenoid and a potent antioxidant. Various anti-inflammatory effects of ATX have been examined. We aimed to investigate the protective effect of ATX and its mechanism in a cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis rat model.

Background & Aims: Mutations in the trypsinogen gene (PRSS1) cause human hereditary pancreatitis. However, it is not clear how mutant forms of PRSS1 contribute to disease development. We studied the effects of expressing mutant forms of human PRSS1 in mice.

Background & Aims: Acute pancreatitis (AP) of different etiologies is associated with the activation of different signaling pathways in pancreatic cells, posing challenges to the development of targeted therapies. We investigated whether local pancreatic hypothermia, without systemic hypothermia, could lessen the severity of AP induced by different methods in rats.
Methods: A urethane balloon with 2 polyurethane tubes was placed inside the stomach of rats.

Objective: To improve the apoptosis/necrosis model of ascites-induced acute pancreatitic (AP) acinar cells by using the co-culture system and mixed ascites technology for the first time. Furthermore, we compared this improved model with cerulein and cerulein+LPS models, and observed the effects of three models on acinar apoptotic/necrotic-related indicators.
Methods: The cultured rat acinar cells AR42J were divided in four groups: control group (medium+PBS), cerulein group (medium+10 nmol/L cerulein), cerulein+LPS group (medium+10 nmol/L cerulein+10 mg/L LPS) and improved ascites group.
