Pancreatic duct replication is increased with obesity and type 2 diabetes in humans

Abstract: Aims/hypothesisIn a high-fat-fed rat model of type 2 diabetes we noted increased exocrine duct replication. This is a predisposing factor for pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, both of which are more common in type 2 diabetes. The aim of the study reported here was to establish if obesity and/or type 2 diabetes are associated with increased pancreatic ductal replication in humans.MethodsWe obtained pancreas at autopsy from 45 humans, divided into four groups: lean (BMI <25 kg/m2); obese (BMI >27 kg/m2); non-d… Show more

“…The PDG compartment was readily detectable throughout the human pancreas, with a 2-fold increase in PDG cell replication in individuals with T2DM compared with ND controls. There was also increased replication of epithelia lining ducts adjacent to PDGs in T2DM, consistent with a prior study that revealed increased duct cell replication in T2DM and in obesity (7). Collectively, these findings are consistent with the concept that PDGs deliver cells to adjacent Figure 6.…”

“…A well-recognized risk factor for pancreatitis is delay in passage of exocrine secretions through the ductal tree, for example due to obstruction by an impacted ductal stone or intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasia (IPMN) (5,6). We previously documented an increase in replication in the pancreatic ductal tree in T2DM compared with BMI-matched nondiabetic controls (7). Recently, the pancreatic duct gland (PDG) compartment has been proposed as a pancreatic stem cell niche that expands through increased proliferation in response to induced pancreatic inflammation, purportedly to regenerate pancreatic duct epithelium (8,9).…”

“…The effects of DM and obesity on pancreatic ductal pathology were recently studied by Butler et al (2010), who examined the expression of the neoplastic markers cytokeratin and Ki67 in pancreatic ductal epithelia from 45 human autopsy and nine surgical pathology specimens. In autopsy specimens obtained from obese nondiabetic individuals, pancreatic duct replication was seen to be increased tenfold compared with lean nondiabetics.…”

“…The mechanisms of pancreatitis related with incretin mimetics are uncertain. Some animal studies revealed that sitagliptin increased pancreatic ductal replication, ductal metaplasia and rarely induced pancreatitis in mouse model [12,13].…”
