Alternatively activated macrophages promote pancreatic fibrosis in chronic pancreatitis.

TL;DR: It is shown that pharmacologic inhibition of IL-4/IL-13 in human ex-vivo studies as well as in established mouse CP decreases pancreatic AAMs and fibrosis, and identifies a critical role for macrophages in pancreatic fibrosis and in turn PSCs as important inducers of macrophage alternative activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regeneration and repair of the exocrine pancreas.

TL;DR: The NFκB signaling pathway is a critical determinant of pancreatic inflammation and metaplasia, whereas a number of developmental signals and transcription factors are devoted to promoting acinar redifferentiation after injury.

Mutations in the gene encoding the serine protease inhibitor, Kazal type 1 are associated with chronic pancreatitis

TL;DR: Analysis of the gene encoding the serine protease inhibitor, Kazal type 1, a pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, indicates that mutations in SPINK1 are associated with chronic pancreatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute interstitial pancreatitis in the rat induced by excessive doses of a pancreatic secretagogue.

TL;DR: Conscious rats infused via a jugular vein catheter with 5×10−6 g/kg/h caerulein for periods up to 24 h showed a progressive reduction in the in vitro sensitivity of the pancreatic cells to secretory proteins, which corresponds largely to a reduction of cellular respiration.

Role of cathepsin B in intracellular trypsinogen activation and the onset of acute pancreatitis

TL;DR: These experiments provide the first conclusive evidence to the authors' knowledge that cathepsin B plays a role in intrapancreatic trypsinogen activation and the onset of acute pancreatitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Action of secretagogues on a new preparation of functionally intact, isolated pancreatic acini.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the decreased response (desensitization) is a postreceptor phenomenon and possibly mediated by Ca2+ itself.
