Abstract:
:Expression of inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor light chain (ITI-LC, also known as bikunin or urinary trypsin inhibitor) was examined in various human tissues. By reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, the mRNA was detected not only in the liver, a known site of ITI-LC production, but also in the kidney, heart, lung, and pancreas. By RNA blot analysis, the mRNA was also detected in the pancreas and liver, but not in the kidney, heart, or lung. The ITI-LC protein was immunohistochemically detected along the surface of pancreatic acinar cells. These results indicate the apparent expression of the gene for ITI-LC in the pancreas. ITI-LC protein on the surface of pancreatic acinar cells may play an important role in preventing autodigestion by exocrine enzymes such as trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen.
