ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the efficacy of emodin in the treatment of acute pancreatitis in rats.Methods Forty-five SD rats were divided into control group,pancreatitis group and treatment group.The apoptotic index of pancreatic acinar cells.the expression of NF-κB mRNA and Bax mRNA,the apoptosis rate of peripheral polymorphonuclear neutrophil(PMN),and the expression of PMN caspase-3 and PMN caspase-8 were detected.Results Compared with the panereatitis group,the apoptotic index of pancreatic acinax cells and PMN,and the expressions of NF-κB mRNA,Bax mRNA.PMN caspase-3 and PMN caspase-8 in pancreas tissue were significantly increased in the treatment group(F=853.199,327.126,143.586,48.857,231.750,96.552,P<0.05).The histopathologic score of panereatitis Was negatively correlated with the apoptotic index of the pancreatic acinar cells and PMN(r=-0.96,-0.94,P<0.05).The apeptotic index ofthe pancreatic acinar cells Was positively correlated with the expression of NF-κB mRNA,Bax mRNA in pancreas tissue(r=0.73,0.76,P<0.05).The expression of NF-κB mRNA was positively correlated withthat of Bax mRNA(r=0.94,P<0.05).The apoptotie index of PMN was positively correlated with the expression of PMN caspase-3 and PMN caspase-8 (r=0.99,0.99.P<0.05).Conclusions Emodin alleviates acute pancreatitis via regulating the apoptosis of pancreatic acinar cells through Bax pathway,and regulating the PMN apoptosis through caspase pathway.
