The present work deals with the role of the NF-κB transcription factor RelA/p65 in chronic pancreatitis (CP). CP was induced with Caerulein in wildtype-mice (
relaF/F), mice with pancreasspecific inactivation of RelA/p65 (
relaΔ/Δ) and such with inactivation of RelA/p65 in pancreatic as well as myeloid cells (
relaΔ/Δmye).
relaΔ/Δ-mice revealed a more severe course of CP with increased inflammation and fibrosis, Compared to the
relaΔ/Δmye-group, CP was attenuated in
relaΔ/Δ–mice. These results suggest a tissue-specific role of RelA/p65 in CP with protective effects in acinar cells and proinflammatoric as well as profibrotic impact in the myeloid compartment.
