BACKGROUND: The early events in pancreatic fibrosis are poorly understood. We examined the production of collagen and matrix metalloproteinases as well as the activation of pancreatic stellate cells in a rodent model of pancreatic fibrosis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pancreatitis was induced in rats by hyperstimulation with cerulein (50 microg/kg/day ip) and concurrent pancreatic duct obstruction (SHOP model) for 96 h (n = 48). Sham animals were injected with saline and underwent laparotomy and manipulation of the pancreas with no duct obstruction (n = 28). Rats were sacrificed daily for 18 days. Serial pancreatic sections were stained with H&E [histology], trichrome [collagen], and alpha smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) antibodies [activated stellate cells]. Total pancreatic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and 9 were determined by gelatin zymography. MMP-1 production was examined using Western blotting.
RESULTS: There were occasional alpha-SMA-positive cells in the pancreatic parenchyma of normal and sham animals. Within 48 h of pancreatitis induction in SHOP animals, histologic evidence of pancreatic inflammation was present, and stellate cells (alpha-SMA-positive cells) appeared surrounding pancreatic acini. The appearance of these cells was followed by collagen deposition in the same area. MMP-1 and 2 proteins increased significantly during pancreatitis while MMP-9 did not. The pancreatic architecture returned to normal by 18 days after the induction of pancreatitis.
CONCLUSION: Acute pancreatic inflammation results in stellate cell activation and collagen deposition in the same area. Collagen is then resorbed at a time when MMP-1 and 2 peak. The fibrosis of acute pancreatic inflammation in this model completely resolves with restoration of normal architecture.
