摘要
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a sudden-onset disease of the digestive system caused by abnormal activation of pancreatic enzymes. Dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2) has been found to be elevated in the progression of a variety of inflammatory diseases. Therefore, we analyzed the specific roles of DUOX2 in AP development. Blood samples were collected from of AP patients and healthy people, and the caerulein- stimulated human pancreatic duct cells (H6C7) were utilized to establish an AP cell model. Cell growth and apoptosis were measured using an MTT assay and TUNEL staining. Additionally, RT-qPCR and western blot assays were conducted to assess the RNA and protein expressions of the cells. ELISA kits were used to determine TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1β levels. The interaction between DUOX2 and miR-605-3p was predicted using the Targetscan database and confirmed by dual-luciferase report assay. We found that DUOX2 increased while miR-605-3p decreased in the blood of AP patients and caerulein-stimulated H6C7 cells. DUOX2 was targeted by miR-605-3p. Furthermore, DUOX2 knockdown or miR-605-3p overexpression promoted cell viability, decreased the TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1β levels, and inhibited apoptosis rate in caerulein-stimulated H6C7 cells. DUOX2 knockdown or miR-605-3p overexpression also increased the Bcl-2 protein levels and down-regulated Bax, cleaved-caspase-1, NLRP3 and p-p65. Interestingly, DUOX2 overexpression reversed the miR-605-3p mimic function in the caerulein-treated H6C7 cells. In conclusion, our research demonstrated that DUOX2 knockdown relieved the injury and inflammation in caerulein-stimulated H6C7 cells.
