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 invitro 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 S6k 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 invitro [45] by activating the eIF4F complex for­mation, in a similar manner to CCK[49]. Insulin stimu­lates pancreatic digestive enzyme synthesis invivo, 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)
Invivo, 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 invivo[62].
Regulation ofPancreatic 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 inResponse toNutrients andHormones
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 invivo[1,67,69], and invitro[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 invivo 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].

(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

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/p44MAPK 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 ofPancreatic Cells inCulture
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 etal.[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 invitro tool that enabled researchers to interrogate the functions of these cells both in health and in pancreatic disease.
Pancreatic Stellate Cells (PSC)
PSC inHealth
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 etal.[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,
