Objective To investigate lipopolysaccharide (LPS) tolerance and its possible mechanism in experimental acute pancreatitis(AP) mice. Methods Two hundreds and ten C56BL/6J mice were randomized into normal saline(NS)+LPS group( n =105)and AP +LPS group( n =105). Both groups were subdivided into seven groups according to different dose of LPS. AP model was induced by intra- abdominal administration of cerulein (50 ?g/kg) for seven times at 1 hour interval. LPS was given 6 hours after first cerulein injection . Cerulein was replaced by NS in NS+LPS group. Ten mice in each sub- group were randomly selected to investigate mortality rate for 7 days. Another 5 mice were killed at 12 hours after the first cerulein injection. Liver, lung, kidney, pancreas and serum were reserved to evaluate pathological changes and measurement of amylase (AMS) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels. Gene expression profiles of leucocyte in NS+LPS(15 mg/kg)subgroup and AP+LPS(15 mg/kg)subgroup were studied with oligonucleotide microarrays of 12 479 full length mouse genes respectively for three times to screen the different genes between two groups. Results Mortality rates in both groups were increased, and correlated with the dosage of LPS. Mortality rate in AP+LPS group was significantly lower than that in NS+LPS group with the same LPS dose( P

Objectives To analyze the role and mechanisms of mast cells in the inflammation and fibrosis of 2 ,4, 6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced rat pancreatic fibrosis. Methods Rats were received the aseptic instillation of TNBS in ethanol via bilo-pancreatic duct, and then injected with nedocromil sodium, a mast cell stabilizer, and compound 18/80, a mast cell activator, or saline. Rats were sacrificed respectively on 3, 7, 14, 21 or 28 days. Pancreatic inflammation and fibrosis were assessed by gross and histopathological evaluation. Pancreatic fibrosis were observed by Van Gieson. Pancreatic mast cells distribution, number and their state of activation (toluidine blue) were evaluated. The activation of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) were assessed by the expression of a-smooth muscle actin (?-SMA) through immunohistochemistry. The expression of angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 and AT2 receptors and transforming growth factor (TGF) ? 1 raRNA, which were the factors of fibrogenesis, were also assessed. Results Typical pancreatic fibrosis changes occurred in the model of rats received TNBS at 4th week by morphological evaluation. The positive expression of ?-SMA and TGF?1 in the pancreatic tissues were detected at day 3, especially at 4th week. The expression of angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 and AT2 receptors mRNA increased gradually in all the three groups, also especially at 4th week. Compared to the control group, there were more higher expression of ?-SMA, TGF?1, angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 and AT2 receptor in the compound 48/80 group, while there were lower expression of these proteins in the nedocromil group. Conclusions Mast cells are involved in TNBS-induced pancreatic inflammation and fibrosis in rats. After being activated, mast cells will promote the activation and proliferation of PSCs and upregulate the expression of angiotensin Ⅱ AT1 receptor and AT2 receptor, and then lead to pancreatic fibrosis gradually.
