Article Title: Acinous cell AR42J-derived exosome miR125b-5p promotes acute pancreatitis exacerbation by inhibiting M2 macrophage polarization via PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
doi: 10.4240/wjgs.v15.i4.600
Figure Lengend Snippet: miR125b-5p promotes the aggravation of inflammation in vivo . A: Intraperitoneal condition of rats in acute pancreatitis (AP) group and overexpression group; B: Ascites volume of rats in the three groups. The expression of miR-125b-5p in pancreatic tissues of sham group, AP group and overexpression group was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction; C: The level of interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, C-reactive protein and reactive oxygen species was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay; D: Histopathological image of rat pancreas in three groups; E: Pancreatic histopathology score and dry/wet ratio; F: Western blot showing the expression of BAX, Bcl-2, HMGB-1 and insulin-like growth factor 2 in the pancreatic tissues; G: Western blot showing the expression of p-PI3K, PI3K, p-AKT and AKT in the pancreatic tissues, a P < 0.05, b P < 0.005, c P < 0.0005. IGF2: Insulin-like growth factor 2; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha; AP: Acute pancreatitis; IL: Interleukin; TNF-α: Tumor necrosis factor-alpha; CRP: C-reactive protein; ROS: Reactive oxygen species; NC: Negative control.
