Inhibition of JAK2 Signaling Alleviates Hyperlipidemia-Intensified Caerulin-Induced Acute Pancreatitis In Vivo.
    Current molecular medicine, 2017, Volume: 17, Issue:5

    Studies have implied the positive association of JAK2/STAT3 signaling with the onset and severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). However, definitive functional study of JAK2/STAT3 signaling in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis in vivo is missing and its potential as a therapeutic target and the underlying mechanisms remain to be determined.. The aim of this study was to explore the role of JAK2/STAT3 signaling in the pathogenesis of hyperlipidemia-intensified caerulin-induced AP and its potential as a therapeutic target.. Using the caerulin-induced acute pancreatitis rat model, we showed that JAK2/STAT3 signaling was activated in pancreas and systemic inflammation was increased during AP. Pharmacological suppression of JAK2 by its inhibitor AG490 robustly protected against tissue damage, attenuated JAK2/STAT3 signaling and inflammatory responses. Local pancreatic tissue damage and phosphor- JAK2 in the pancreatic tissue were enhanced in animals fed with high fat diet compared to chow-diet fed animals. Interestingly, JAK2 inhibitor AG490 significantly inhibited pancreas necrosis and systemic inflammation in animals fed with high fat or chow-diet, but did not affect STAT3 signaling.. These results establish that JAK2 activation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of caerulin-induced AP in animals on both chow and high-fat diets by regulating necrosis and systemic inflammation. Thus, our results not only clarify novel signaling mechanisms in AP but also suggest that JAK2 might constitute a target in the management of hyperlipidemia-intensified caerulin-induced AP.

Hyperlipidemia intensifies cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis associated with activation of protein kinase C in rats.
    World journal of gastroenterology, 2006, May-14, Volume: 12, Issue:18

    To investigate the effects of hyperlipidemia on acute pancreatitis (AP) and the possible mechanisms.. Rat models of hyperlipidemia and AP were established by Triton WR1339 and cerulein respectively. Human albumin was used to treat AP complicated by hyperlipidemia. In each group, we compared the histological score, volume of ascites, ratio of pancreatic wet/dry weight, serum amylase (AMY) and pancreatic acinar cell apoptosis. The level of protein kinase C (PKC) membrane translocation in pancreatic tissue was detected by Western blot.. In the hyperlipidemia model established by Triton WR1339, triglyceride (TG) increased remarkably and reached its peak 6 h after injection, and most rats developed mild acute pancreatitis. Histological score, volume of ascites, ratio of wet/dry weight and serum AMY in AP animals with hyperlipidemia were obviously higher than those in AP animals (P < 0.05) and decreased after albumin therapy but not significantly (P > 0.05). Apoptotic cells detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) increased in AP animals with hyperlipidemia and did not change distinctly after albumin therapy. PKC membrane translocation level increased in AP animals with hyperlipidemia and decreased remarkably after albumin therapy (P < 0.05).. Hyperlipidemia may induce AP or intensify pancreatic injury. Albumin therapy can not alleviate pancreatic lesion effectively. PKC activation may be one mechanism by which AP is intensified by hyperlipidemia.

[Blood lipid disorders and chronic pancreatitis. 4 cases].
    Minerva medica, 1978, Apr-21, Volume: 69, Issue:19

    The literature dealing with the debated and not yet completely settled question of the causal relationship between dyslipidaemia and acute and chronic diseases of the pancreas is reviewed. Four personal cases of chronic pancreatitis associated with dyslipidaemia are presented and their possible pathogenetic relationships are discussed.
