Abstract

Premature intrapancreatic trypsinogen activation is widely regarded as an initiating event for acute pancreatitis. Previous studies have alternatively implicated secretory vesicles, endosomes, lysosomes, or autophagosomes/autophagolysosomes as the primary site of trypsinogen activation, from which a cell-damaging proteolytic cascade originates. To identify the subcellular compartment of initial trypsinogen activation we performed a time-resolution analysis of the first 12 h of caerulein-induced pancreatitis in transgenic light chain 3 (LC3)-GFP autophagy reporter mice. Intrapancreatic trypsin activity increased within 60 min and serum amylase within 2 h, but fluorescent autophagosome formation only by 4 h of pancreatitis in parallel with a shift from cytosolic LC3-I to membranous LC3-II on Western blots. At 60 min, activated trypsin in heavier subcellular fractions was co-distributed with cathepsin B, but not with the autophagy markers LC3 or autophagy protein 16 (ATG16). Supramaximal caerulein stimulation of primary pancreatic acini derived from LC3-GFP mice revealed that trypsinogen activation is independent of autophagolysosome formation already during the first 15 min of exposure to caerulein. Co-localization studies (with ...Continue Reading

Autophagosome

An autophagosome is the formation of double-membrane vesicles that involve numerous proteins and cytoplasmic components. These double-membrane vesicles are then terminated at the lysosome where they are degraded. Discover the latest research on autophagosomes here.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms
