Protective effects of therapy with a protease and xanthine oxidase inhibitor in short form pancreatic biliary obstruction and ischemia in rats.

Abstract
The current study was done to evaluate the effects of short term (60 minutes) pancreatic biliary duct obstruction (PBDO) with intraductal hypertension (IDH) stimulated by secretin (0.2 clinical unit per kilogram per hour) and caerulein (0.2 microgram per kilogram per hour) plus 30 minutes of temporary pancreatic ischemia (ISCH) produced by ligation of celiac and superior mesenteric artery on the exocrine pancreas and protective effects of a new potent protease inhibitor, ONO3307 in combination with xanthine oxidase inhibitor, allopurinol, in this multifactor related model of acute pancreatitis in rats. Twelve hours after PBDO with IDH plus ISCH, we observed hyperamylasemia (23 +/- 3 units per milliliter) (p < 0.01); moderate pancreatic histologic changes; pancreatic edema (water content--81 +/- 2 percent) (p < 0.02), as well as the impaired amylase (2,889 +/- 328 units per kilogram per hour) (p < 0.01) and cathepsin B output (7 +/- 3 units per kilogram per hour) (p < 0.01) into the pancreatic juice of rats stimulated by caerulein (control group--serum amylase levels, 6 +/- 1 units per milliliter; pancreatic water content, 74 +/- 1 percent. Furthermore, PBDO with IDH plus ISCH caused the redistribution of lysosomal enzyme from lysosomal fraction (12 kilo times gravity pellet; 40 +/- 3 percent; p < 0.01) to zymogen fraction (1.3 kilo times gravity pellet; 38 +/- 3 percent; p < 0.01) (control group--12 kilo times gravity pellet, 59 +/- 2 percent; 1.3 kilo times gravity pellet, 24 +/- 2 percent) and the impaired pancreatic adenylate energy metabolism (0.79 +/- 0.02, p < 0.02) (control group--energy charge equals 0.88 +/- 0.01). Only PBDO with IDH caused no significant changes. Although only ONO3307 or allopurinol therapy showed the partial significant protective effects against pancreatic injuries, improving serum amylase levels, the administration of ONO3307 in combination therapy with allopurinol showed almost complete protective effects against the pancreatic injuries induced by PBDO with IDH plus ISCH (serum amylase levels, 9 +/- 2 units per milliliter; pancreatic water content, 76 +/- 2 percent; amylase and cathepsin B output, 7,127 +/- 946 and 18 +/- 3 units per kilogram per hour; 1.3 kilo times gravity pellet, 28 +/- 2 percent; 12 kilo times gravity pellet, 54 +/- 2 percent, and energy charge equals 0.85 +/- 0.02).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
