SHCBP1 Overexpression Aggravates Pancreatitis by Triggering the Loss of Primary Cilia

Primary cilia are microtubule-based organelles that mediate various biological processes. Pancreatic cells are typically ciliated; however, the role of primary cilia in acute pancreatitis (AP) is largely unknown. Here, we report that the loss of primary cilia, mediated by SHCBP1 (SHC1 binding protein), exerted a provocative effect on AP. Primary cilia are extensively lost in inflamed pancreatic cells
