Role of pyroptosis in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis / 临床肝胆病杂志

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common gastrointestinal disease and may lead to local complications and even multiple organ failure, and the pathogenesis of AP involves self-digestion of trypsin, inflammatory response, and microcirculation disturbance. This article introduces the role of pyroptosis in the pathogenesis of AP and briefly describes the activation pathway of pyroptosis, inflammasome, and the mechanism of action of effector molecules in inducing damage to the pancreas and extra-pancreatic organs. It is believed that the regulation of pyroptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of AP, which provides new ideas for the prevention and treatment of AP.
