ABSTRACT
Acute Pancreatitis (AP) is a multifactorial disease. It was characterized by severe inflammation and acinar cell destruction. Thus, the present study was initiated to evaluate the role the of Cinnamic acid nanoparticles (CA-NPs) as a modulator for the redox signaling pathway involved in the development of pancreatitis. AP in rats was induced by L-arginine and exposure to gamma radiation. The pancreatic injury was evaluated using biochemical and histological parameters. Upon the oral administration of CA-NPs, both the severity of acute pancreatitis and the serum levels of amylase and lipase were decreased. Furthermore, the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels of the pancreatic tissue were significantly reduced and the depletion of glutathione was considerably restored. The injury and apoptosis of pancreatic tissues were markedly improved by the reduction of the caspase-3 levels. Additionally, the alleviation of pancreatic oxidative damage by CA-NPs was accompanied by a down-regulation of the NLRP3, NF-κB, and ASK1/MAPK signaling pathways. Collectively, the current findings showed that CA-NPs could protect the pancreatic acinar cell from injury not only by its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effect but also by modulation of the redox-sensitive signal transduction pathways contributed to acute pancreatitis severity. Accordingly, cinnamic acid nanoparticles have therapeutic potential for the management of acute pancreatitis.
