Abstract
Reactive oxygen species are considered important regulators in the pathogenesis and in the development of pancreatitis. The transcription factor nuclear factor ĸB (NF-ĸB) is activated by reactive oxygen species and regulates the gene expressions of inflammatory cytokines. The present study investigates (1) the susceptibility of isolated rat pancreatic acinar cells to oxidant attacks produced by adenosine diphosphate/ferrous iron, hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase, and neutrophils primed with 4β-phorbol 12β-myristate 13α-acetate (PMA) and (2) the potential of small-molecule antioxidants (N-acetylcysteine, β-carotene, rebamipide, allopurinol) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) to prevent such injury and oxidant-mediated NF-ĸB activation and inflammatory cytokine production in the cells. As a result, oxidative stress resulted in a time-dependent increase in lipid peroxide production in pancreatic acinar cells which was inhibited by small-molecule antioxidants and SOD. PMA-primed neutrophils induced NF-ĸB activation and increased the production of cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α) in the cells. This was in parallel with lipid peroxide production. Small-molecule antioxidants and SOD inhibited NF-ĸB activation and cytokine production in acinar cells caused by PMA-primed neutrophils. In conclusion, oxidative stress activates NF-ĸB, resulting in upregulation of inflammatory cytokines in pancreatic acinar cells. Small-molecule antioxidants might be clinically useful anti-inflammatory agents by inhibiting oxidant-induced cytokine production.
