mTORC1 also phosphorylates S6K1, which is responsible for
phosphorylating S6, thereby increasing the translation of a
specific subset of mRNAs. CCK also increases the activity of an
eIF4EK, leading to phosphorylation of eIF4E. Together, these
effects lead to an increase in protein synthesis Adapted from[28].

at the translation initiation level in mice after 2 h of feeding [38]. When protein or the amino acid leucine are
removed from the diet, postprandial pancreatic digestive
enzyme synthesis is strongly inhibited, and their deficiency could induce pancreatic insufficiency and malnutrition. The inhibition of protein synthesis and decreased
polysomal fraction, caused by the reduction of protein,
or only leucine in the diet, has a similar general effect,
but it is induced by different mechanisms: protein deficiency causes a partial reduction of the activation of
mTORC1 and the guanine nucleotide exchange factor
eIF2B; whereas leucine deficiency causes an amino acid
imbalance that activates the general controlled nonrepressed (GCN2) kinase, that, in turn, increases eIF2α
phosphorylation that blocks protein synthesis[38].
Other studies have shown how dietary protein and
amino acids stimulate pancreatic protein synthesis and
pancreatic growth in rats[39] and mice[8] fed for several
days. Branched- chain amino acids (BCAA), particularly
leucine, also stimulate the phosphorylation of 4EBP1 and
S6K and the formation of the eIF4F complex in mice and
rats, without the need for an increase in the hormones
CCK and insulin[40]. A mechanism has been described
for a direct stimulation of protein synthesis by amino acids
through mTORC1 [35,40–42], and it seems that amino
acids are necessary both as a signal and as a substrate for
pancreatic digestive enzyme synthesis after a meal[38].
The effects of food can also be mediated by GI and systemic hormones and neurotransmitters. Their stimulatory mechanisms have been mainly studied in isolated
pancreatic acini [43]. CCK, carbachol, insulin, and
bombesin all stimulate the synthesis of total protein,
trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, lipase, and amylase in
isolated rat acini[44–46]. These invitro studies demonstrate that CCK and insulin, at their stimulatory doses,
have an additive effect on protein synthesis after 30 min,
and that this effect is mainly at the translational level
because it occurs without a change in mRNA levels and
in the presence of actinomycin D[46,47]. Increased synthesis of both digestive enzymes and structural proteins
was observed, although differences between individual
proteins suggested nonparallel translational effects[47].
CCK stimulates protein synthesis in isolated rat acini
and in the whole animal[48–50], by increasing the rate
of translation initiation[48–51] and elongation[52], at
concentrations that stimulate digestive enzyme secretion. Additionally, CCK or its analogue caerulein, activates the S6k inase (S6K)[53,54] and the phosphorylation
of eIF4E[50,51] and activates the formation of the eIF4F
complex by stimulating the release of eIF4E from its
binding protein 4E- BP1 and increasing the association
of eIF4E with eIF4G[35,51]. These actions are summarized in Fig.8.1. The activation of S6K, the formation of
the eIF4F complex, and the activation of the elongation
processes and eEF2 appear to be regulated through a
rapamycin- sensitive pathway and to be downstream of
phosphatidylinositol 3- kinase (PI3K) [49,52,53]. The
calcium–calmodulin- activated phosphatase calcineurin
is also involved in the activation of CCK- stimulated
pancreatic protein synthesis and the regulation of the
translational machinery [50]. As mentioned earlier,
insulin also stimulates protein synthesis in pancreatic
acini invitro [45] by activating the eIF4F complex formation, in a similar manner to CCK[49]. Insulin stimulates pancreatic digestive enzyme synthesis invivo, after
a meal. This has been demonstrated with the use of pancreatic acinar cell conditional insulin receptor (IR)
knockout mice[54]. The activation of the Akt/mTORC1
pathway is reduced in the pancreas of these mice after
2 h of a meal feeding, and also the translational machinery and polysomal fraction. Additionally, the protein
content of the stimulated pancreatic juice is reduced,
but not the total pancreatic juice volume, compared
with their littermate controls. This demonstrates that
insulin is an important physiologic regulator of the pancreatic digestive enzyme synthesis and acinar cell homeostasis that could lead to pancreatic insufficiency during
diabetes[28].

At concentrations of CCK and cholinergic analogues
that inhibit secretion[43], protein synthesis is also inhibited[44,48,55]. In minced rabbit pancreas, however, only
a decrease in protein synthesis was observed in response
to CCK, and this was accompanied by a decrease in the
number of polysomes[55].
Inhibition of Pancreatic Protein Synthesis.
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Stress and
Unfolded Protein Response (UPR)
Invivo, inhibition of pancreatic protein synthesis occurs
during the development of acute pancreatitis[56]. This
inhibition is accompanied by a reduction in the activity
of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor eIF2B, an
increase in eIF2α phosphorylation, and a decrease in the
formation of the eIF4F complex [48,50,56] (Fig. 8.2).
Additionally, this inhibitory effect appears to be calcium
related, because the incubation of isolated acini in
calcium- free media or with A23187 and thapsigargin to
release intracellular Ca2+ increases eIF2α phosphorylation and inhibits eIF2B activity. This suggests that pancreatic acinar cells adapt to short- term stress induced by
reduction in calcium stores by inhibiting protein synthesis of pancreatic enzymes[48,55]. The ER- resident kinase
(PERK)[57] mediates eIF2α phosphorylation in the exocrine pancreas[58,59] and activates the ER stress mechanisms. The inhibition of protein synthesis associated
with high concentrations of CCK could therefore be an

adaptive or protective mechanism in response to stress
localized in the ER[48,56].
ER stress mechanisms are protective cellular responses
to stress in the ER, due to an accumulation of unfolded or
misfolded proteins in this cellular compartment that
trigger the UPR [59]. ER stress and UPR mechanisms
have been described in some experimental models of
acute pancreatitis[56,60], in pancreatic acinar cell damage in vitro [61], and in induced pancreatic acinar cell
damage due to alcohol abuse invivo[62].
Regulation ofPancreatic Growth
The pancreas arises embryologically as an outgrowth of
the foregut that develops through a relatively undifferentiated ductunder the influence of mesenchyme and a number of
transcriptional regulators[63]. By birth, the pancreas has
assumed its fully differentiated form and histology but
continues thereafter to grow in parallel with body
growth. Depending on the species, this can occur by
hypertrophy or hyperplasia. A recent study showed that
rodent pancreas grows predominantly by hypertrophy,
and human pancreas by hyperplasia [64]. During this
period, growth of the acinar cell mass is by selfduplication of acinar cells[65]. While all acinar cells can
divide, some studies have shown a subset that divides
faster in normal growth and regeneration [66]. In the
adult animal, acinar and islet cells were originally
assumed to be no longer dividing but in fact they both
show a small but finite turnover that can be accelerated
by hormones and diet. Hence the acinar and beta islet
cells are considered to exist in the Go phase of the cell
cycle rather than being terminally differentiated.
Whether undifferentiated stem cells remain in the adult
pancreas or if small duct cells can function as stem cells
remains controversial.
In the exocrine pancreas, enhanced growth in response
to hormones or diet can take the form of cellular hypertrophy in which protein increases in excess of DNA
resulting in larger cells, or cellular hyperplasia marked by
an increase in DNA resulting in more cells. Normally in
hyperplasia, protein increases in parallel with DNA, so
the endpoint is normal- sized cells. In hypertrophy and
hyperplasia, there is usually an increased total digestive
enzyme content in the pancreas, although the concentration relative to DNA or total protein may or may not
change. Although not as well studied, glandular atrophy
can result from loss of cellular protein, as seen with
protein- deficient diets[17], or from loss of cells, as seen
with some forms of pancreatitis following apoptosis or
necrosis. Two distinct types of in vivo growth to be
discussed are adaptive growth in response to diet and
like state into acini, islets, and mature ducts

hormones and regeneration following the loss of functional cells. The use of cell culture as a model for pancreatic growth will also be reviewed.
Adaptive Growth inResponse toNutrients
andHormones
To ensure adequate nutrient absorption, the amount and
composition of digestive enzymes secreted by the pancreas must complement the size and macronutrient
composition of a meal. Although the synthesis and secretion of digestive enzymes can increase with consumption
of larger and/or more frequent meals, this capacity is
finite. Another mechanism whereby the pancreas can
adapt to increased feeding is through growth of the acinar cells. Both a high- protein diet and hyperphagia that
occurs with cold exposure, pregnancy, and lactation are
associated with pancreatic growth[1].
GI hormones released after a meal may contribute to
the growth- promoting effects of feeding on the exocrine
pancreas as CCK, secretin, and gastrin have all been
shown to induce pancreatic growth[67]. The effects of
CCK have been studied extensively in rodents and have
been reviewed previously[43,68]. Direct administration
of CCK or caerulein induces acinar cell growth
invivo[1,67,69], and invitro[70]. Feeding a high- protein
diet and especially synthetic or naturally occurring
trypsin inhibitors, such as those found in raw soy flour,
prevents feedback regulation of CCK secretion and culminates in maintained high concentrations of circulating
CCK[71], which also stimulates pancreatic growth[72].
Oral trypsin inhibitor- induced pancreatic growth is
blocked by coadministration of CCK antagonists [73]
and is absent in CCK[74] and CCK- A receptor- deficient
mice[75]. In the rat, CCK- stimulated growth is primarily
through cellular hypertrophy, but with some hyperplasia, whereas in mice it is primarily through hyperplasia.
In both cases, the hyperplasia involves DNA synthesis
and replication of mature acinar cells [76]. Although
CCK can mediate adaptive growth, it does not appear to
be essential for growth during development and CCK or
its receptors are not necessary in most studies for maintenance of normal pancreatic size. In contrast to CCK,
the hormone secretin had little effect by itself but can
potentiate the action of CCK[67].
More recently, information has emerged on intracellular pathways mediating pancreatic growth (Fig.8.3). CCK
is known to activate a number of intracellular pathways
potentially related to growth, including an increase in
intracellular Ca
2+
, three MAPK pathways, and the PI3KmTOR pathway [43]. Most of these pathways are activated in the pancreas in response to endogenous CCK
release following feeding of camostat[77]. Pharmacologic
and genetic evidence exists for three major intracellular
pathways, calcineurin–NFAT, mTORC1, and ERK1/2,
playing nonredundant roles in adaptive pancreatic
growth. The calcineurin–NFAT pathway can be blocked
pharmacologically with the calcineurin inhibitors FK506
and cyclosporin A and genetically by overexpression of
Rcan1[74,78,79]. The mTORC1 pathway can be blocked
with rapamycin[80] or by acinar cell- specific deletion of
Raptor, an essential component of mTORC1 (SJ Crozier,
MD Sans, and JA Williams, unpublished data). The ERK
pathway can be blocked with specific MEK inhibitors
active invivo such as PD- 0325901[81]. Blockage of each
of these pathways blocks pancreatic adaptive growth
induced by feeding camostat. These pathways are important regulators of mRNA transcription and translation,
and it is likely through modulation of these processes that
CCK affects pancreatic growth by activating the cell cycle.
Polyamines have also been studied as mediators of
pancreatic growth induced by CCK and other hormones[82]. The naturally occurring polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine are normal cell
components involved in protein and DNA synthesis.
Biosynthesis of polyamines is initiated by ornithine
decarboxylase and its inhibitor difluoromethylornithine
inhibits pancreatic growth in response to CCK. However,
there is no clear role for polyamines in pancreatic growth
and it may be that they are simply a cellular component
necessary for pancreatic growth similar to their role in
intestinal adaptation and liver regeneration.
Growth of the pancreas in response to CCK administration is greatly diminished in rats fed a low- protein
diet[83]. Conversely, consumption of large amounts of
protein induces pancreatic hypertrophy in rodents[84],
even in the presence of a CCK receptor antagonist[18]
and in CCK- deficient mice[85]. Therefore, it appears
that dietary protein both potentiates the effects of CCK
on pancreatic growth and also stimulates pancreatic
growth via CCK- independent mechanisms. These CCKindependent mechanisms are undoubtedly mediated, at
least in part, by amino acids. Purified amino acids do not
stimulate CCK secretion, yet ingestion of large quantities
of amino acids stimulates pancreatic growth [18]. This
action is mediated in large part by the mTORC1 pathway,
which is activated by amino acids [8]. Interestingly,
growth of the pancreas in mice fed a high- protein diet
occurs predominately via cellular hypertrophy [85]
whereas that associated with supraphysiologic levels of
CCK, such as direct CCK administration and trypsin
inhibitor feeding, in mice is primarily hyperplastic[74].
It may be that a threshold level of CCK exists, above
which signal transduction pathways are activated that
permit cell division following cellular hypertrophy.
Other systemic hormones, including insulin[20], thyroid
hormones, and glucocorticoids, can stimulate and regulate
pancreatic growth in response to meal feeding[1,86].

Pancreatic Growth
(Mitogenesis and Hypertrophy
Activation of vagal nerve fibers to the pancreas during
feeding stimulates the release of additional peptides
associated with secretion of bicarbonate and digestive
enzymes. Some of these neuropeptides may also play a
role in the regulation of pancreatic growth and their
effects have been reviewed previously[87]. In particular,
vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) potentiates the
effects of caerulein on pancreatic growth in a manner
similar to secretin and gastrin- releasing peptide and
bombesin stimulate pancreatic growth, although not as
strongly as CCK.
Regeneration
Despite the low rate of cellular turnover normally
observed in the adult pancreas, studies in rodents have
demonstrated its ability to regenerate in response to tissue injury[88]. This has been studied both after pancreatitis and following surgical resection. Experimental
pancreatitis induced by caerulein, arginine, bile salts, or
ethionine leads to cell death by a combination of apoptosis and necrosis. The remaining acinar cells dedifferentiate and form tubular complexes that express both acinar
and ductal characteristics and some markers of embryonic pancreas. These cells divide and grow and eventually differentiate back into mature acinar cells [89–91].
At present, there is little definitive evidence for regeneration from stem cells.
Following surgical resection of 50–90% of the rat pancreas, the remnant pancreas increases in size and protein
and DNA content, with the increase being greater after
more complete resection [92]. However, the pancreas
never regains its normal size and islets appear to regenerate to a greater extent than exocrine tissue. In some
Transcriptional

reports differentiated acinar cells are said to incorporate
thymidine or show mitotic figures, whereas in other
studies regeneration is reported to occur in the injured
margin and show tubular complexes and express embryonic markers[93]. In mice, a 75% resection was followed
by growth of the remnant by 40%, with evidence for proliferation of differentiated acinar cells[94].
Similarly, to adaptive growth, dietary protein, CCK,
and insulin play a significant role in the regeneration of
exocrine cells following pancreatic injury. The pancreas
is incapable of regeneration in rats fed a protein- free
diet. Both exogenous and endogenous CCK enhance and
CCK receptor antagonists slow the rate of pancreatic
regeneration following pancreatitis[95]. There is also a
significant decrease in the rate of pancreatic regeneration in mice lacking the CCK- A receptor in the pancreas[96]. The importance of insulin is shown by the fact
that in diabetic rats, CCK administration fails to induce
pancreatic regeneration following pancreatitis unless
exogenous insulin is also administered[97]. Pertinently,
it has been demonstrated that the expression of
IGF- 1 mRNA is significantly increased following pancreatitis and resection, indicating that both insulin and
IGF may be important in pancreatic regeneration.
The expression of cellular oncogenes that regulate the
cell cycle and thereby control cellular proliferation rates
is significantly increased in models of pancreatic regeneration[98,99]. Many genes associated with embryonic
development, and whose expression is normally
repressed in the adult, are re- expressed during pancreatic regeneration following pancreatitis[90]. Only a little
is known of signal transduction pathways that mediate
these changes in gene expression. The p42/p44MAPK
pathway, which modulates the expression of cell- cycle

regulators, is activated in the regenerating pancreas [100]. Activation of the PI3K pathway has been
shown to be necessary for pancreatic regeneration following resection, as inhibition of the pathway via pharmacologic inhibitors or siRNA severely diminished
regeneration [94]. Moreover, the PI3K pathway activation in response to resection decreased with age and may
contribute to the reduced regenerative capacity of the
aged pancreas. Further identification of the signal transduction pathways, and also the factors modulating these
pathways, will be important for improving our understanding of pancreatic regeneration.
Growth ofPancreatic Cells inCulture
In vitro culture of differentiated or immortalized cells
can be used as models for cell growth. Most pancreatic
cancer cell lines, however, are undifferentiated and will
not be considered here. Primary dissociated pancreatic
cells, although not dividing, can be maintained in suspension culture under conditions such that they retain
the differentiated phenotype or where they dedifferentiate and adopt a more plastic phenotype. When isolated
acinar cells or acini are placed on an extracellular matrix
such as collagen or matrigel, the cells will initiate division
and remain viable for several weeks but almost invariably
lose their differentiated appearance. CCK or its analogue
caerulein can stimulate cell division and growth, as do
insulin, epithermal growth factor (EGF), and other
growth factors[70,101]. This model has been applied to
evaluating which intracellular pathways mediate growth,
with evidence for participation by Ras [102], PI3K/
Akt[94], and MAPK pathways[103]. The
dedifferentiated
phenotype of cultured acinar cells was originally reported
as duct like [104,105]. Subsequently, they were characterized as similar to precursor cells that can transdifferentiate into insulin-
containing islet cells [106] and that
the dedifferentiated cells can simultaneously express acinar, ductal, or beta- cell proteins. Another report showed
retention of acinar cell phenotype with an altered
medium containing a high amino acid level [107]. In a
similar manner, pancreatic duct cells have been grown in
monolayer culture. They retain their ion- transporting
phenotype and have been used to study duct function.
Their growth in culture is stimulated by EGF, TGFα, and
insulin, inhibited by TGFβ, but not affected by secretin
or other GI peptides[108].
Although no real differentiated pancreatic acinar cell
line exists, considerable research has been carried out
with AR42J cells, a rat cell line derived from an azoserineinduced tumor which under the influence of glucocorticoids assumes a more acinar phenotype[109]. However,
these cells were subsequently shown also to have neuroendocrine properties and can even be driven toward
an islet phenotype such that they appear more like an
undifferentiated ductal epithelium. Their growth can be
stimulated by CCK, gastrin, PACAP, and other peptides,
but only to 25–30% and not after exposure to dexamethasone, which induces acinar differentiation but inhibits
growth[109].
In summary, all the cultured pancreatic cells studied to
date, although dividing and regulated by hormones, possess a relatively undifferentiated phenotype. Hence, they
are more a model for regenerating pancreas after pancreatitis than they are a model for diet- or hormonedriven acinar proliferation.

Introduction
Fibrogenesis is defined as the development or production of fibrous tissue. In the healthy pancreas, fibrogenesis is a well- controlled, regulated process that is essential
for regular turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) in the
parenchyma, thereby maintaining normal pancreatic
architecture. In diseased states, however, this process is
hijacked such that the fine balance between production
and degradation of fibrous tissue is disrupted, leading to
the deposition of excessive amounts of ECM proteins in
the organ, eventually resulting in pathologic fibrosis.
Elucidation of the cellular and molecular mechanisms
involved in pancreatic fibrogenesis began in earnest in
1998, when methods were developed to isolate and culture pancreatic stellate cells (PSC), now established as
key cells in the fibrogenic process, from rodent and
human pancreas [1–3]. Interestingly, the presence of
these cells in the pancreas was first reported by Watari
etal.[4] in Japan a decade and a half earlier (in 1982), and
confirmed by Ikejiri [5] in 1990. However, little was
known of their function at the time. It was the subsequent development of techniques to isolate viable PSC
from the pancreas that provided the much-
needed
invitro tool that enabled researchers to interrogate the
functions of these cells both in health and in pancreatic
disease.
Pancreatic Stellate Cells (PSC)
PSC inHealth
PSC comprise 4–7% of total parenchymal cells in the normal pancreas. They are found around the basolateral
aspects of acinar cells (Fig.9.1a), blood vessels, and small
pancreatic ducts[1,2] and also around pancreatic islets[6].
In their native, quiescent (non- activated) state, PSC
store abundant vitamin A (retinoids) in their cytoplasm
and belong to a larger “stellate cell system” in the body,
comprising retinoid storing cells in several other organs,
including the liver, lungs, intestine, kidney, spleen, and
adrenal glands[7]. The specific density imparted by the
stored lipid enabled Apte etal.[1] to develop the density
gradient centrifugation method for the isolation of quiescent PSC from the pancreas. This method has since
been refined and further customized by several groups
to suit their experimental purposes. The presence of
cytoplasmic vitamin A droplets (Fig. 9.1b), and the
expression of selective markers such as the intermediate
filaments desmin, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)
and nestin, and the neuroectodermal proteins neural cell
adhesion molecule and nerve growth factor differentiate
PSC from fibroblasts. Due to the expression of neural
markers, PSC were initially thought to be of neuroectodermal origin. However, lineage tracing studies with
hepatic stellate cells (counterparts of PSC in the liver)
have confirmed a mesenchymal origin for these cells[8].
The fact that a proportion of PSC are replenished from
bone marrow further supports a mesenchymal origin for
PSC[9].
Islet stellate cells (ISC) are similar to but differ in certain aspects from PSC. ISC have fewer vitamin
A- containing droplets and undergo a more rapid
activation than PSC. Upon activation, ISC express more
α- SMA but have reduced rates of proliferation and
migration compared with exocrine PSC[6].
Initial studies were focused on the ability of PSC to
maintain normal extracellular matrix turnover in health,
by not only synthesizing ECM proteins such as collagen,
