Abstract

The timely and effective treatment for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is favorable to prognosis. Decompression of the bile duct might be a feasible way to decrease the progression of SAP. The present study investigated the effects of sustained bile external drainage on organs injury caused by SAP in Sprague‑Dawley (SD) rats and the mechanisms involved. A total of 72 female SD rats weighting 190‑230 g were randomly divided into four groups (n=18): Sham operation group (SOG), SOG + bile drainage group (BDG), SAP group, and SAP + BDG. Sodium taurocholate solution (4%; 1 mg/kg body weight) was used to set up SAP model via injection of retrograde puncture of biliopancreatic duct through the duodenum. A cannula was inserted into the bile duct and fixed externally to establish BDG model. At each time points (t=3, 6, 12; n=6), tissues from the liver, lung, and pancreas, and blood samples were collected. Serum amylase (AMY) was analyzed in all the samples. The levels of tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α), heme oxygenase‑1 (HO‑1), interleukin‑10 (IL‑10) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) were detected by ELISA. Hematoxylin‑eosin staining was performed to observe the histopathological changes, and nuclear transcription factor (NF)‑κB‑p65 levels in the pancreas were analyzed by western blotting. The data indicated that BDG alleviated the SAP progression and multiple organs injuries. Meanwhile, the histopathological changes of the pancreas, liver, and lungs were improved by BDG. BDG decreased the pathological scores of pancreas significantly (P<0.05). The levels of AMY, TNF‑α, HMGB1, and NF‑κB‑p65 were significantly downregulated by BDG (P<0.05), while the level of HO‑1 was upregulated and IL‑10 was unchanged. In summary, BDG may attenuate the multiple organs injuries caused by SAP via downregulation of TNF‑α, HMGB1, NF‑κB‑p65 and upregulation of HO‑1.

Introduction

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is characterized by rapid progression, severe systemic complications, multiple organs dysfunction, and high mortality (1). The activation of pancreatic enzymes, release of inflammatory factors, and subsequent systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (MODS) are the main pathological processes of SAP. The bile reflux deprived from biliary obstruction or the pancreatic duct obstruction (or increased pressure in the pancreatic duct) is considered as the most important factor for developing SAP (2). Targeted treatment such as sphincterotomy or nasobiliary drainage may prevent the progression of acute pancreatitis (AP) or SAP (3,4), which indicates that sustained bile drainage or biliary decompression could decrease the organ injury in SAP and improve the prognosis.

Exploration for the mechanisms of SAP progression and the relevant treatment strategies are particularly important. Inflammation-associated factors serve a vital role in the progression of SAP. The imbalance between pro-inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and anti-inflammatory factors like hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) is indispensable for SAP progression, which leads to local pancreatic inflammation and systemic complications (57). Previous studies have demonstrated that TNF-α and interleukin-6 (IL-6) activate the Kupffer cells in the liver and then produce pro-inflammatory factors, thus inducing early liver injury, and gut-derived cytokines reaching the lung, resulting in acute respiratory distress syndrome (811). TNF-α affects the kidney function directly or indirectly via cytotoxicity or by inducing the release of endothelin, respectively (12).

A previous study has demonstrated that biliary tract external drainage protected multiple organs against SAP associated injuries via HO-1 upregulation (7). HO-1 is also demonstrated to modulate some immunoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, which may represent a novel treatment approach for the above diseases (13,14). Furthermore, the antioxidant factor nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 could also promote anticancer activity via the modulation of HO-1 (15). Nuclear transcription factor (NF)-κB is an important pro-inflammatory factor and NF-κB-p65 or RelA is a member of NF-κB family, which is associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis (16,17). Based on the previous studies, the present study aimed to further investigate the role of sustained bile external drainage in decreasing the injury of SAP and the association of sustained bile drainage group (BDG) on inflammatory factors TNF-α, HMGB1, IL-10, NF-κB-p65, and HO-1 in SAP rats at different periods (3, 6 and 12 h). The present study provided evidence for the application of sustained BDG in the treatment of SAP.

Materials and methods

Reagents

Sodium taurocholate was from Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA (purity >97%). TNF-α (JYM0635Ra), HO-1 (JYM0356Ra), IL-10 (JYM0651Ra), and HMGB1 (JYM0371Ra) ELISA kit were all purchased from ColorfulGene Biological Technology, NF-κB-p65 mouse antibody (8242S) was from Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.

Establishment of animal model

A total of 72 8-week-old female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats weighing 190–230 g were randomly divided into four groups (n=18): Sham operation group (SOG), SOG + bile drainage group (BDG), SAP group, and SAP + BDG. The animals (6 weeks of age) were purchased from Jinan Peng Yue Laboratory Animal Breeding Company and fed with food and water freely under the same environment at 22–26°C for 2 weeks with a 12 h light/dark cycle. The present study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shandong Provincial Qianfoshan Hospital affiliated to Shandong University.

The SD rats received intraperitoneal anesthesia with 3% pentobarbital sodium (30 mg/kg body weight). The duodenum, bile duct, and pancreas were separated, and 4% sodium taurocholate solution was injected by retrograde puncture of biliopancreatic duct through duodenum to set up the SAP model (1 mg/kg body weight). The SOG group received operation only without any other interventions. After the injection of sodium taurocholate, a cannula of diameter 0.8 mm was inserted into the bile duct through duodenum. The cannula was then fixed with the bile duct, duodenum and abdominal wall separately when the drainage of the bile was unobstructed to establish SAP + BDG model. The SOG + BDG group only fixed a cannula into bile duct without the application of 4% sodium taurocholate solution. Pentobarbital sodium (200 mg/kg body weight) with an intraperitoneal injection was used to sacrifice the rats prior to blood collection from the abdominal aorta and the tissue samples were collected.

Analysis of serum amylase (AMY)

The blood samples (5 ml) were obtained at various time points (t=3 h, 6 h, 12 h) from abdominal aorta. After standing for 15 min at room temperature, the samples were centrifuged at 1,370 × g for 10 min at 4°C. The serum supernatant was collected. The level of serum AMY was detected in the clinical laboratory of Qianfoshan Hospital (7).

H&E staining

Tissue samples of pancreas, liver, and lung were collected at various time points (t=3 h, 6, and 12 h) and immersed in 10% paraformaldehyde and paraffin embedded. Thick tissue sections (4-µm) were obtained. Subsequently, the sections were dewaxed in xylene and dehydrated through a serial alcohol gradient followed by washing with PBS for 5 min at room temperature. The sections were stained with hematoxylin for 5 min and eosin for 30 sec at room temperature. Following the staining, sections were dehydrated by increasing concentrations of ethanol and xylene. The histomorphology was observed with an optical microscope (magnification, ×200). The evaluation standard of histopathologic scores of the pancreas were recorded in Table I (18). The current study selected three sections and five fields (magnification, ×200) for every section randomly. The scores were subsequently calculated in accordance with the standard of table I for every field in four parts (edema, inflammation, hemorrhage and necrosis). The average value for the histopathologic scores of the pancreas were then calculated.

ELISA

The SD rats were divided into four groups: SOG, SOG + BDG, SAP group, and SAP + BDG. Blood (5 ml) from the abdominal aorta was collected at various time points (t=3 h, 6, and 12 h) in every group. After 15 min, the blood was centrifuged at 1,370 × g for 10 min at room temperature and serum supernatants were collected. Measurement of TNF-α, HO-1, IL-10, and HMGB1 levels in blood supernatants was performed using commercially available ELISA kits (ColorfulGene) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Optical density (OD) values were obtained at 450 nm using the Spectra Max 190 (Molecular Devices, LLC).

Western blotting

The SD rats were divided into four groups as stated above; the pancreas tissues were collected and lysed in cold radio immunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) with 1 nM phenylmethylsufonyl fluoride for 30 min on ice, followed by centrifugation at 16,000 × g for 15 min at 4°C. Protein concentrations of cleared lysates were determined with a bicinchoninic acid Protein Assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). Total amount of proteins (40 µg) were separated on 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) and then electrotransferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. PVDF membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk and incubated overnight at 4°C with the NF-κB-p65 primary antibody (cat. no. 8242S; 1:1,000; Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.) and GADPH primary antibody (cat. no. ab37168; 1:1,000; Abcam) in PBS-Tween. Following three washes with PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20 for 15 min each, the membranes were incubated with horse radish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (cat. no. A0280; 1:1,000; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) at 37°C for 1 h and then washed three times with PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20. A TANON-4500SF chemiluminescence system (Tanon Science and Technology Co., Ltd, Shanghai, China) was used to detect the target proteins.

Statistics

All the data are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. Multiple group comparisons of the means were carried out by one-way analysis of variance followed by the least significant difference test as the post hoc test. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS software (version 17.0, SPSS China). P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.

Results

Effects of sustained BDG on serum levels of TNF-α, HO-1, IL-10, and HMGB1

To explore the effect of BDG on pancreas in SAP, the SAP rat models were induced by 4% sodium taurocholate solution via injection of retrograde puncture of biliopancreatic duct through duodenum, and the pancreas and intestine were obviously edematous while ascites existed in the SAP rats (Fig. 1A, right panel). The serum levels of AMY in the SAP group and SAP + BDG group were higher compared with the SOG group and SOG + BDG group, while BDG could decrease the level of AMY in SAP (Fig. 1B). SIRS is the main reason for high mortality at the early stage of SAP, the inflammatory cytokines induce the cascade effect, even the MODS and death (19). The pro-inflammatory factors TNF-α and HMGB1 were upregulated in SAP rats, however sustained BDG could decrease the level of TNF-α in SAP significantly at different times, while HMGB1 was only downregulated at the 6 h of SAP by BDG, and no significant differences were observed at 3 and 12 h (Fig. 2A and C). There was no marked difference in the serum level of IL-10 in the SAP and SAP + BDG groups (Fig. 2D). The anti-inflammatory factor HO-1 was increased in SAP groups at early stages (3 and 6 h), but decreased at 12 h, and then sustained BDG upregulated the serum level of HO-1 compared with the SAP group at different time check-points of SAP (Fig. 2B).

The effect of sustained BDG on the multiple organ injury of SAP

To evaluate the effect of BDG, the histopathologic changes of pancreas, liver, and lung were observed. No significant histopathologic changes in the SOG and SAP+SOG groups were observed (Fig. S1). The inflammatory cells infiltration, cell necrosis, the damage of pancreatic lobule was higher in the SAP group, and obvious hemorrhage and tissue necrosis in a time-dependent manner was observed, while BDG significantly mitigated the abovementioned phenomena (Fig. 3A). The histopathologic scores of pancreas in SAP were higher than the SOG groups, while BDG decreased the histopathologic scores of SAP significantly (Fig. 3B). Furthermore, compared with the SAP + BDG group the liver cells edema, necrosis, hepatic cord disorder, and inflammatory cells infiltration were more obvious in SAP at all time points (Fig. 4A). Finally, the edema and hyperemia of lung tissue, the red blood cells and inflammatory cells infiltration in alveolar cavity and interstitial tissue were more serious than the SAP + BDG group (Fig. 4B).

The modulation by BDG on the expression level of NF-κB-p65 in the pancreas

During subsequent experiments, the rat pancreas tissues at different time points was collected. The protein level of NF-κB-p65 was upregulated significantly in the SAP group in a time-dependent manner, while no marked difference was found in the SOG group (Fig. 5A). To further explore the role of BDG, the expression level of NF-κB-p65 at every time point was monitored. The results indicated that the NF-κB-p65 expression levels of the SOG and SOG + BDG groups were similar and those of SAP were the highest, among all groups tested. BDG downregulated its expression compared with the SAP group significantly at different time points (Fig. 5B).

Discussion

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a type of severe digestive disease associated with rapid progression, severe complications, and high morality. Blockage of the biliopancreatic duct, alcohol consumption, infection, and medical injury are the common reasons for SAP (20). The mechanisms of SAP are complex. The activation of pancreatic enzymes, the release of inflammatory factors, oxidative stress reaction, translocation of gut microflora, and effect of nitric oxide are responsible for the progress of SAP (2123). The imbalance between pro-inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, and HMGB1) and anti-inflammatory factors (IL-2 and IL-10) results in the cascade effect, and finally leads to multiple organ injury and poor prognosis (24,25).

Bile reflux activates pancreatic enzymes, and the degree of bile duct blockage is positively associated with the degree of AP. Previous studies have demonstrated that removal of bile or pancreatic duct obstruction effectively alleviated the progress of SAP (4,7,26). In animal experiments, bile drainage prolonged the survival and relieved the pathological damage to the intestine (27). Hypoperfusion induced the liver to release inflammatory factors, TNF-α, HMGB1, and IL-6 into the bile, and further aggravates the injury of intestinal mucosa (28). Previous studies demonstrated that bile external drainage protected the intestine and organ functions under shock via blocking the ‘gut-liver-lung’ cytokines axis, and decreased the injury to liver and lungs (7,29), which is consistent with the present study. Meanwhile, biliary drainage is not indicated for chronic non-progressive elevation of SAP, but for a progressive increase in SAP or persistent jaundice (30). In the present study, based on the H&E staining, it was found that the inflammation, cell necrosis and organs structure damage were aggravated with the progress of SAP in a time-dependent manner, and sustained BDG improved above phenomena significantly and exhibited multiple organs protective effects. The present study indicated that bile drainage or biliary decompression could alleviate the progress of SAP and protect the organs, and decrease the possibility of SIRS and MODS, which could be considered as a potential treatment choice for SAP. Future studies exploring the underlying mechanisms or signaling pathways are required to provide more evidence for the clinical application of sustained BDG.

A previous study reported that ascites induced the secretion of TNF-α in pancreatic acinar cells (31). TNF-α mRNA was overexpressed in pancreas tissues of SAP rat models, and the phenomenon was also observed in the liver and lungs along with the progress of SAP (32). Another pro-inflammatory factor, HMGB1, is also crucial for the pathogenesis of SAP. HMGB1 could activate toll-like receptors 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway, which is indispensable for the inflammatory process, and the specific inhibitors of HMGB1 or TLR4 (such as eritoran and [(S,R)-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-5-isoxasole acetic acid)] could alleviate the inflammation and improve the prognosis (3335). The present study revealed that TNF-α and HMGB1 were upregulated in the SAP and SAP + BDG groups compared with the control groups, but BDG decreased the levels of TNF-α significantly and HMGB1 at 6 h. HO-1 is considered as an important anti-inflammatory factor, which is responsible for cytothesis and tissue protection (36). HO-1 could exert anti-inflammatory effects via the production of carbon monoxide (CO), which may be a possible factor of early treatment of SAP, while CO has been proven effective in some immuno-inflammatory and autoimmune diseases (37,38). Under stress, HO-1 significantly inhibits apoptosis of the islet cells and protects the pancreatic β-cells (39,40). It was demonstrated that HO-1 levels were increased in both SAP groups, and BDG upregulated the serum level of HO-1 compared with the SAP group. The present study demonstrated that sustained BDG could decrease the inflammation process by modulating the expressions of TNF-α, HO-1 and HMGB1, and alleviate the degree of SIRS and SAP model organ injury. However, SOG+BDG group could not return SAP levels to normal compared with SOG group, while BDG is considered as an effective method to slow the progress of SAP. Furthermore, other clinical strategies, including the inhibition of pancreatin, nutritional support and fasting, are also indispensible (1,4). Meanwhile, the associated signaling pathways involved in the above inflammatory factors still remain to be explored. NF-κB is crucial for the inflammatory activities via pro-inflammatory cytokines release. Picroside II is demonstrated to reduce the level of NF-κB and autophagy, and improves the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of SAP models (41). The present study demonstrated that the NF-κB-p65 level of SAP was upregulated, and BDG downregulated the expression of NF-κB-p65 significantly. According to the modulation of NF-κB-p65, bile drainage could decrease the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, whether TNF-α and HMGB1 are the downstream factors still remains unclear. The activation of NF-κB signaling pathway is important for the progress of SAP, and it is indicated that sustained BDG could decrease the activity of NF-κB signaling and further improve the prognosis of SAP.

In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that BDG decreased the progression of SAP effectively. The histopathologic changes of pancreas, liver, and lung were significantly attenuated by BDG. It was highlighted that the underlying mechanisms were the downregulation of TNF-α, NF-κB p65 and HMGB1 and upregulation of HO-1 modulated by BDG.
