Impaired lung function in severe acute pancreatitis is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in this condition. Preprotachykinin-A (PPT-A) gene products substance P and neurokinin (NK)-A have been shown to play important roles in neurogenic inflammation. Substance P acts primarily (but not exclusively) via the NK1 receptor. NKA acts primarily via the NK2 receptor. Earlier work has shown that knockout mice deficient in NK1 receptors are protected against acute pancreatitis and associated lung injury. NK1 receptors, however, bind other peptides in addition to substance P, not all of which are derived from the PPT-A gene. To examine the role of PPT-A gene products in acute pancreatitis, the effect of PPT-A gene deletion on the severity of acute pancreatitis and the associated lung injury was investigated. Deletion of PPT-A almost completely protected against acute pancreatitis-associated lung injury, with a partial protection against local pancreatic damage. These results show that PPT-A gene products are critical proinflammatory mediators in acute pancreatitis and the associated lung injury.

Inflammation is a natural response to tissue injury. Uncontrolled inflammatory response leads to inflammatory disease. Acute pancreatitis is one of the main reasons for hospitalization amongst gastrointestinal disorders worldwide. It has been demonstrated that endogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gasotransmitter and substance P, a neuropeptide, are involved in the inflammatory process in acute pancreatitis. Cell adhesion molecules (CAM) are key players in inflammatory disease. Immunoglobulin (Ig) gene superfamily, selectins, and integrins are involved at different steps of leukocyte migration from blood to the site of injury. When the endothelial cells get activated, the CAMs are upregulated which leads to them interacting with leukocytes. This review summarizes our current understanding of the roles H2S, substance P and adhesion molecules play in acute pancreatitis.
