INTRODUCTION
Acute (AP) and the chronic pancreatitis (CP) are one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases of the developed societies, with 30-40% mortality. The reason of the high mortality is the lack of specific therapy, wich could reduce the progression of the diseases. In physiological condition the digestive enzymes are synthetized in zymogen granules in pancreatic acinar cells. Due to some insults, the enzymes are prematurely activated in the cells, from where they harm the tissues of the organ. In case of long term AP evolves the chronic form with multiorgan failure and diabetes mellitus because of a severe pancreatic injury.
AIMS
Our aim was to examine the possible beneficial effect of an antioxidant flavonoid (tricetin) in the severity of the cerulein induced AP.
METHOD
In vitro the effect of the flavonoid was investigated in cerulein treated (in 100nM concentracion) isolated acinar cells. Calcein, LDH, PI assays, cellomics, and qPCR were used in the examination.
After that we investigated the effect of tricetin in vivo by intraperitoneal injection (10mg/kgBW) 1 hour before the AP was induced by intraperitoneal injections of cerulein (50μg/kgBW) eight times at 1 hour intervals. The mice were sacrificed 10 hours after the fist cerulein injection. We exemined α-amylase and lipase level of the serum, and MPO level from the pancreas. We made HE staining sections and qPCR from the pancreatic tissues.
RESULTS
In vitro the flavonoid significantly (α=0,05) decreased the harmful effect of the cerulein treatment. In vivo it
significantly (α=0,05) derceased the level of the digestive enzymes and the MPO and also decreased the expression of inflammatory genes.
CONCLUSION
Our results show that used tricetin successfully decreased the harmful effect of the cerulein in isolated acinar cells, and derceased the severity of the cerulein induced acute pancreatitis in mice.
