Abstract

Objective(s): This study aimed to research the roles of miR-139, miR-221, miR-200c, miR-145, miR-223, miR-424, and miR-377 in endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), oxidative stress (OS), fibrosis, and apoptosis processes in chronic pancreatitis (CP) rat model.
Materials and Methods: Fourteen rats were randomized into 2 groups (Group 1, sham group (n=7) and Group 2, CP group (n=7)). TGF-beta and malondialdehyde concentrations were measured in rat blood samples. qRT-PCR was used to investigate the expression levels of 7 miRNAs in the pancreas tissues. The correlations of mRNA undergoing significant changes with inflammation (TNF-α, IL-6), ERS (Ire1-α, Perk), apoptosis (Caspase 3, Bcl-2), OS (Cat, Gpx1), and fibrosis (α-Sma) were investigated.
Results: The biochemical results and histopathological scores in Group 1 were statistically significantly high compared with Group 2 (p <0.5). Expression levels of seven miRNAs (miR-200c, miR-145, miR-223, miR-424) were significantly higher, while miR-139 was significantly lower in CP. In our study, we found that miR-200c, miR-145, and miR-139 may contribute to CP progression and cellular processes based on the correlation between ERS, OS, apoptosis, and inflammation with miRNA expression levels.
Conclusion: miR-200c, miR-145, miR-139, miR-223, and miR-424 play roles in the CP model. They may be used as candidate biomarkers for the CP process.
