The chronically reserpinized rat as a model for cystic fibrosis: alterations in pancreatic enzyme secretion and storage.

Abstract：

:Alterations in the pancreatic secretion of fluid and of enzymes in response to either pilocarpine (15 mg/kg) or an octapeptide of cholecystokinin (0.1 microgram/kg) have been found in rats that received daily injections of reserpine (0.5 mg/kg) for 7 days. During a 3-hr secretory period, significant reductions in the volume of pancreatic juice and in the total output of protein, amylase, and trypsin were observed in these animals. In the first hour of the secretory response, however, protease output was increased in the treated animals, particularly that of chymotrypsin, which was also increased in the longer secretory period following pilocarpine, but not cholecystokinin, stimulation. Zymogen granules isolated from the pancreas of the treated rats by differential centrifugation in a 0.3 M sucrose buffer had increased specific activities of the proteases when compared to those of untreated controls. Ultrastructurally, zymogen granules isolated from the pancreas of the treated rats showed changes in density, with bizonal and trizonal configurations being frequently observed, and had less distinct limiting membranes. In some, the membrane appeared broken at intervals, and there was granular material, presumably derived from the granule contents, lining the surface of the granule. It is concluded that pretreatment with reserpine inhibits fluid secretion and alters enzyme secretion in the rat exocrine pancreas. The latter effect is related to a nonparallel storage of amylase and proteases in the secretory granules induced by the drug treatment, probably through an action on protein synthesis or intracellular transport. An accumulation of proteases may lead to activation of these enzymes and to granule lysis. Inasmuch as the reserpine-treated rat has been proposed as an experimental model for cystic fibrosis, these findings are relevant in terms of possibly pathogenetic mechanisms in this disease.
