ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to investigate the association of macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α (CCL3) expression with the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP).METHODS:
The patients with AP were selected and divided into mild AP (MAP), moderately severe AP (MSAP), and severe AP (SAP) groups according to the severity of AP. The pancreatic acinar cell line Ar42 j was treated with cerulein to induce in vitro cell AP model. The expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the activation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway in stimulated or transfected Ar42 j cells were detected.RESULTS:
We detected that the upregulation of MIP-1α was associated with the severity of AP. Patients with SAP showed the highest MIP-1α contents, followed by MSAP, and, lastly, MAP. In cerulein-stimulated Ar42 j cells, the upregulation of MIP-1α, CCR5, TNF-α, and IL-6 was time dependent. In addition, in human recombinant MIP-1α treated Ar42 j cells, the upregulation of TNF-α and IL-6 was MIP-1α-dose-dependent. In contrast, we detected the inhibition of TNF-α and IL-6 in MIP-1α small interfering RNA (siRNA)-treated cells. Also, the activation of the JNK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway was induced and inhibited by human recombinant MIP-1α and MIP-1α siRNA, respectively.CONCLUSION:
These results suggested that MIP-1α might be used as a biomarker for the prognosis of AP severity. The MIP-1α-induced inflammatory responses in AP were mediated by TNF-α and IL-6, which were associated with the activation of the JNK/p38 MAPK signaling pathway.Palabras clave
