Pancreatic and bile duct obstruction exacerbates rat caerulein-induced pancreatitis: a new experimental model of acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis

Abstract: Preceding biliopancreatic duct obstruction exacerbates caerulein-induced pancreatitis. Enhancement of intracellular trypsin activation is possibly involved in this mechanism.

“…In previous reports, caerulein (an analogue of the human gastrointestinal hormone cholecystokinin) was used to stimulate smooth muscle contraction and release of biliary and pancreatic enzymes. At high concentrations, caerulein is reported to stimulate the inflammation, acinar loss, and fibrosis typically found in pancreatitis 13,14 . We therefore adopted caerulein treatment (70 μg/kg) as a positive control.…”

“…However, the mouse pancreas has several pancreatic ducts that differ significantly -this feature makes complete obstruction of the pancreatic ducts difficult, but at the same time provides internal control, since it is easy to obstruct only a subset of pancreatic segments. Obstruction of only one duct in rats practically does not lead to pancreatitis, but in combination with mild stimulation with secretogens causes acute pancreatitis [1][2][3]. Such stimulation can be used to simulate chronic pancreatitis [4].…”
