Background: Data about the value of interleukin 6 and CRP in the prediction of severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) is still limited. This study is aimed at assessing the values of interleukin 6 and CRP in the prediction the severity of AP. Patients and methods: 55 patients with AP were enrolled. Interleukin was measured at 2 times: the 1st and the 3rd days. Results: IL-6 level day 1 in severe AP (168.86 ± 70.65 pg/ml) was significantly higher than in mild AP (89.54 ± 28.81 pg/ml) and IL-6 day 3 in severe AP (58.64 ± 20.77 pg/ml) significantly higher than mild AP (29.73 ± 14.88 pg/ml). concerning the prediction of severity of AP, IL-6 in day 1 (with cut-off 113.36 pg/ml) had the sensitivity 81.25% and the specificity 84.64%, PPV 68.4% and NPV 91.7%, accuracy rate 88.8%, AUC 0.888 and respectively in day 3 (with cut-off 41.38 pg/ml were 87.5%; 87.18%; 73.7%; 4.4%; 86.7%; 0.867. The values in prediction of severity were significantly higher when combining IL 6 and CRP in compare with the single marker. Conclusion: Combining Interleukin 6 and CRP may have a good value in the prediction of the severity of AP. Key words: Interleukin 6, CRP, acute pancreatitis, severity.

Abstract Background: Although role of ARID1A in pancreatic homeostasis and tumorigenesis has been recently described using genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models, whether ARID1A plays a role in pancreatic inflammation and regeneration remains to be explored.Methods: Pancreas-specific Arid1a-deficient GEM model (Arid1adef) was generated by Ela1-Cre/ERT2 mice crossing with Arid1afl/fl mice and characterized histologically. In physiological and inflammatory conditions, serum amylase and lipase activity were measured to investigate effects of Arid1a deficiency on pancreatic secretion function. Histology analysis of pancreas was used to evaluate pancreatic lesions and recovery. Ex vivo primary acinar cell culture was employed to study acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) process. In HPNE cells, ARID1A knockdown and histone acetyltransferases inhibitors were used to explore epigenetic regulation on interleukin-6 (IL6) expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and quantitative real-time PCR were performed to analyze on IL6 promoters.Results: Arid1a deficiency promoted formation of ductal cysts characterized as silenced acinar genes and activated duct genes. Arid1a-deficient acinar cells were more inclined to trans-differentiation to ductal cells in cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) model. Expression analysis of proinflammatory cytokines reveals that ARID1A deficiency led to increased IL-6 expression in mice acinar cells and HPNE cells. ARID1A-associated histone acetylation partially involved in epigenetic regulation of IL-6. Conclusion: These results demonstrate ARID1A is involved in cerulein-induced AP development by mediating pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and suggest that ARID1A-containing SWI/SNF complex is an epigenetic regulator of acute pancreatitis.
