Induction of Acute Pancreatitis in Mice

C57BL/6 mice (GemPharmatech) were housed in standard cages at 25°C with free access to water and a commercial rodent diet under pathogen‐free conditions. All experiments were performed in accordance with an experimental guideline approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University.
Eight‐week‐old female C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg cerulean (Sigma‐Aldrich) dissolved in saline to induce severe acute pancreatitis. Untreated mice were intraperitoneally injected with the same volumes of saline as the control. Pancreatic samples were collected from mice 12 h after a single injection of cerulean and cut into two parts. One was stored at −80°C and the other was fixed in 10% formaldehyde for histological analysis.
After pretreated with AT7519 (15 mg/kg) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Sigma‐Aldrich), mice were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg cerulean. Then, mice were killed 12 h after cerulean injection.

Induction of Acute Pancreatitis in Mice

Methods are described in detail in Lodestijn et al.26 In brief, acute pancreatitis was induced in adult mice (60‐70 days old), which received intraperitoneal injections with cerulein (Sigma‐Aldrich, C9026) in PBS (50 μg/kg) every hour seven times a day for 2 consecutive days. On the days of cerulean treatment, Metamizol (Sigma‐Aldrich, 46232) in PBS (200 mg/kg) was three times orally administered as analgesia. Mice were sacrificed and pancreata were isolated either 9 days (pancreatitis) or 38 days (recovered postpancreatitis) after the last cerulein injection.

Pancreatic Acini Exocytosis Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Isolation of dispersed pancreatic acini was performed by the enzymatic and mechanical dissociation technique using collagenase P (Roche) as described previously57 (link). Isolated acini were seeded in Waymouth’s media (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 0.1% BSA and 0.2 mg/ml soybean trypsin inhibitor (Sigma-Aldrich) in glass bottom dishes (MatTek Corporation) coated with Cell-Tak tissue cell adhesive (BD Biosciences). The acinar cells were then incubated with 2 μmol/l FM1-43 (Invitrogen) at 37 °C and imaged on a DMI6000B microscope (Leica) as described58 (link). After obtaining stable basal fluorescence signals, cerulean (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to a final concentration of 1 nM to stimulate exocytosis of ZGs. Images were acquired every 1 min for 60 min.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
