Abstract
A noninvasive model of necrohemorrhagic pancreatitis induced by simultaneous intravenous cerulein/enterokinase (EK) infusion has recently been established in rats. The aim of the present study was to establish this new model in mice and to compare it with the rat model. Male Balb/C mice (20 to 25 g) were used for the experiments. Pancreatitis was induced by simultaneous intravenous infusion of cerulein and EK. Controls were infused with either 0.9% NaCl, cerulein, or EK. Animals were humanely killed 6 hours after start of infusions. Pancreatic and pulmonary injury was assessed by histology, wet-to-dry weight ratio, and myeloperoxidase activity. Systemic cytokine, amylase, and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels in blood were measured to assess pancreatic and systemic inflammatory response. To evaluate the role of protease activity in this model, trypsin, cathepsin B, and elastase activity were measured in pancreatic tissue. Survival experiments were performed to determine survival time and tissue injury in the later course of the disease. Mice with simultaneous cerulein/EK infusion developed marked local and systemic organ injury compared with those animals who received cerulein or EK alone. Pancreatic and pulmonary injury incre...Continue Reading
