[The effect of rosiglitazone on the activity of STAT1 in rats with severe acute pancreatitis].

OBJECTIVE
To explore the effect of rosiglitazone on the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 in rats with severe acute pancreatitis.


METHODS
Fifty-four male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into three groups (n = 18). SO group: sham-operated animals served as control, operation was executed and sodium chloride but not sodium taurocholate was injected. SAP group: SAP was induced by the retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct. ROSI group: same as SAP group, but rosiglitazone (6 mg/kg) was administered intravenously 30 min before operation. Rats in each group were sacrificed at 3,6 and 12 h after operation. The levels of serum amylase and histologic scores of pancreatic tissue were measured. The expression of TNF-alpha mRNA in pancreatic tissue were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression of phosphorylated STAT1 in pancreatic tissue was assayed by immunohistochemistry.


RESULTS
Compared to SO group, the levels of serum amylase and phosphorylated STAT1, TNF-alpha mRNA and histologic scores of pancreatic tissue were significantly elevated at the same time points after SAP (P < 0.01). The levels of these detection in ROSI group were lower than those of the SAP group at the same time points (P < 0.05), but higher than SO group (P < 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
STAT1 was activated in severe acute pancreatitis. Rosiglitazone has a protective effects in rats with severe acute pancreatitis. The mechanism of its protective effects maybe that it inhibits the activation of JAK/STAT pathway, which can down-regulate the expression of TNF-alpha mRNA and block the the inflammatory cascade partially.
