Neurogenic inflammation in acute pancreatitis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acute pancreatitis is a clinical condition whose incidence has increased over the past few years. The exact mechanism of its development is not yet clear. Substance P, the proinflammatory neuropeptide, has a role in the initiation of neurogenic inflammation. Substance P and its receptor neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) are involved in the development of local as well as systemic inflammation in acute pancreatitis. This editorial focuses on the role of substance P and its receptors in the development of acute pancreatitis.

Preprotachykinin-A gene deletion protects mice against acute pancreatitis and associated lung injury.
Impaired lung function in severe acute pancreatitis is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in this condition. Preprotachykinin-A (PPT-A) gene products substance P and neurokinin (NK)-A have been shown to play important roles in neurogenic inflammation. Substance P acts primarily (but not exclusively) via the NK1 receptor. NKA acts primarily via the NK2 receptor. Earlier work has shown ...
متن کاملAcute Pancreatitis (AP) and Dietary Habbits
Inflammation of pancreatic parenchyma is said to be pancreatitis. It can be acute, presenting as emergency with short history or chronic as a continuation of acute with a long history. Autodigestion is responsible for pancreatitis on background of premature activation of pancreatic enzymes within the pancreas. Acute Pancreatitis is acute inflammation of the pancrease which can be mild to modera...
متن کاملProtective effect of Tribulus terrestris fruit extract on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice
Objective: Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antimicrobial activities of Tribulus terrestris (T. terrestris) could be helpful in the treatment of acute pancreatitis; thus, this study was designed to investigate the effects of T. terrestris on cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice. Materials and Methods: Three doses (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) of T. terrestris hydro-alcoholic extr...

Objective(s): The objective of the present study is to explore whether Nanocurcumin improves pancreatic inflammation through the inhibition of the TLR4/NFkB signaling pathway in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis. Methods: Acute pancreatitis was induced by five intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of cerulein (50 μg/kg) with 1h intervals. Vehicle and nanocurcumin (100mg/kg/day) were given to the a...
متن کاملTRPV1 and TRPA1 antagonists prevent the transition of acute to chronic inflammation and pain in chronic pancreatitis.
Visceral afferents expressing transient receptor potential (TRP) channels TRPV1 and TRPA1 are thought to be required for neurogenic inflammation and development of inflammatory hyperalgesia. Using a mouse model of chronic pancreatitis (CP) produced by repeated episodes (twice weekly) of caerulein-induced AP (AP), we studied the involvement of these TRP channels in pancreatic inflammation and pa...
