Abstract

Abstract

Pancreatitis is a common gastrointestinal disorder that causes hospitalization with significant morbidity and mortality. The mechanistic pathophysiology of pancreatitis is complicated, limiting the discovery of pharmacological intervention methods. Here, we show that the administration of ATN-161, an antagonist of Integrin-α5, significantly mitigates the pathological condition of acute pancreatitis induced by caerulein. We find that CK19-positive pancreatic ductal cells align parallel to blood vessels in the pancreas. In the caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis model, the newly emergent CK19-positive cells are highly vascularized, with a significant increase in vascular density and endothelial cell number. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis shows that ductal and endothelial cells are intimate interacting partners, suggesting the existence of a ductal-endothelial interface in the pancreas. Pancreatitis dramatically reduces the crosstalk in the ductal-endothelial interface but promotes the Spp-1/Integrin-α5 signaling. Blocking this signaling with ATN-161 significantly reduces acinar-to-ductal metaplasia, pathological angiogenesis, and restores other abnormal defects induced by caerulein. Our work reveals the therapeutic potential of ATN-161 as an uncharacterized pharmacological method to alleviate the symptoms of pancreatitis.
