Background We reported that the pancreas of the interferon-regulatory factor (IRF) 2 knock-out (KO) mouse represents an early phase of acute pancreatitis, including defective regulatory exocytosis, intracellular activation of trypsin, and disturbance of autophagy. The significantly upregulated and downregulated genes in the IRF2 KO pancreas have been reported. The catalogue of gene transcripts included two types of calcium-binding proteins (S100 calcium binding protein G [S100g] and Annexin A10 [Anxa10]), which were highly upregulated in the IRF2 KO pancreas. As the intracellular calcium signal plays a pivotal role in regulatory exocytosis and its disturbance is related to pancreatitis, we then evaluated the role of S100g and Anxa10 in acute pancreatitis. Method We induced cerulein-pancreatitis in wild-type mice and examined the changes in the expression of these genes by qPCR and immunohistochemistry. We constructed S100g-overexpressing or Anxa10-overexpressing AR42J cells (AR42J-S100g, AR42J-Anxa10). We examined the changes in amylase secretion, intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i), and cell viability in these cells, when incubated with cholecystokinin (CCK). Results The expression of S100g and Anxa10 was increased in cerulean-induced pancreatitis. The acini were patchily stained for S100g and the cytosol of acini was evenly but weakly stained for Anxa10. Stimulation with 100pM CCK-8, decreased amylase secretion and inhibited the [Ca2+]i increase in AR42J-S100g cells. These effects were weak in AR42J-Anxa10 cells. Cell viability was not changed by incubation with cerulein. Conclusion In cerulean pancreatitis, the expression of S100g and Anxa10 was induced in the acini. S100g may work as a Ca2+ buffer in acute pancreatitis.
