Neutrophil engagement and septic challenge in acute experimental pancreatitis in rats.

AIM: To investigate the influence of neutrophil adhesion molecule blockade with monoclonal antibody (MoAb CD11b) and E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration on experimental acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS: AP was induced by four ip injections of cerulein (Cn) at 1-h intervals. MoAb CD 11b and LPS were administered at the beginning of the experiment. RESULTS: The neutrophil count and chemiluminescence were diminished at the beginning of AP. The oxidative stress parameters were found within the pancreatic gland. MoAb CD 11b used for AP resulted in a significant reduction of pancreatic infiltration and pancreatitis oxidative stress parameters. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) was not detected in AP animals, whereas high serum IL-6 concentration was noted only in animals receiving LPS. CONCLUSION: Neutrophils are involved in pancreatic damage in the early stage of AP. Neutrophil infiltration reduction protects the pancreatic gland from destruction during AP. LPS does not change the early course of Cn pancreatitis in rats.

Method improvement: released cecal ligation-septic shock model.

A new released cecal ligation (RCL) technique of septic shock induction in rats is presented. It is relatively not complicated, fast, not expensive, and it mimics the human pathology. Presented procedure seems to be a useful alternative for the cecal ligation alone or cecal ligation and puncture to induce experimental septic shock in small laboratory animals.

Influence of molecule CD 11b blockade on the course of acute ceruleine pancreatitis in rats.

Polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) activation is an essential step in acute pancreatitis (AP). We investigated the activation status of PMN, oxidative stress and pancreatic damage in early stage of experimental ceruleine pancreatitis in rats. The PMN action was modulated by monoclonal antibody CD 11b administration. The circulating WBC and polymorphonuclear cells count was reduced after AP induction. Chemiluminescence of whole blood PMN was remarkably reduced in AP group and increased after MoAb CD 11b administration. The CD 11b blockade significantly reduced the WBC infiltration and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration within pancreatic gland. These data suggest that activated PMN are an important factor in early AP pathogenesis. Neutrophil aggregation within pancreatic gland modulated by monoclonal antibody CD11b contribute to the extent of injury during the early stage of ceruleine experimental pancreatitis in rats.
