Abstract | Background and aims: Heterozygous SPINK1 mutations are strong risk factors for chronic pancreatitis in humans yet heterozygous disruption of mouse Spink1 yielded no pancreatic phenotype. To resolve this contradiction, we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing to generate heterozygous Spink1-deleted mice (Spink1-KO Methods: We investigated severity of acute pancreatitis and progression to chronic pancreatitis in Spink1-KO Results: . Prolonged but not transient cerulein stimulation resulted in increased intrapancreatic trypsin activity and more severe acute pancreatitis in Spink1-KO Conclusions: Heterozygous Spink1 deficiency caused more severe acute pancreatitis after prolonged cerulein stimulation, and promoted chronic pancreatitis after the cerulein-induced acute episode, and in two strains of trypsinogen mutant mice with spontaneous disease. In contrast, acute pancreatitis induced with limited cerulein hyperstimulation was unaffected by heterozygous Spink1 deletion, in agreement with recent observations that trypsin activity does not mediate pathologic responses in this model. Taken together, the findings strongly support the notion that loss-of-function SPINK1 mutations in humans increase chronic pancreatitis risk in a trypsin-dependent manner. |
