Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive and irreversible fibroinflammatory disease that markedly increases susceptibility to pancreatic cancer and remains without effective targeted therapies. Among the genetic contributors to CP, the carboxypeptidase A1 p.Ser282Pro ( ) variant has been proposed to promote disease through misfolding-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), although the broader pathogenic landscape remains incompletely defined. This study generated a rabbit model mimicking the human mutation using the SpRY-ABE-8.17 system. Homozygous rabbits exhibited characteristic human CP phenotypes following alcohol induction, including visceral pain, elevated serum lipase and amylase, inflammatory cell infiltration, and extensive pancreatic fibrosis. Biochemical analyses confirmed that the p.S282P mutation induced misfolding and elevated the expression of ERS markers GRP78 and CHOP in both transfected HEK293T cells and homozygous mutant rabbits. Notably, the mutation markedly disrupted intra-pancreatic lipid homeostasis, contributing to the development of CP in mutant rabbits. This study successfully established the first rabbit model of CP that accurately recapitulates CP caused by a defined human point mutation. Additionally, this study provides insights into a previously unrecognized link between and intra-pancreatic lipid metabolism, offering a foundation for identifying novel therapeutic targets for human CP.
慢性胰腺炎(CP)是一种进行性且不可逆的纤维炎性疾病,它显著增加了患胰腺癌的易感性,并且仍然没有有效的靶向治疗方法。在导致CP的遗传因素中,有人提出羧肽酶A1 p.Ser282Pro( )变体通过错误折叠诱导的内质网应激(ERS)促进疾病发展,尽管更广泛的致病情况仍未完全明确。本研究使用SpRY-ABE-8.17系统生成了一种模拟人类 突变的兔模型。纯合 兔在酒精诱导后表现出典型的人类CP表型,包括内脏疼痛、血清脂肪酶和淀粉酶升高、炎性细胞浸润以及广泛的胰腺纤维化。生化分析证实,p.S282P突变诱导了错误折叠,并在转染的HEK293T细胞和纯合突变兔中均提高了ERS标志物GRP78和CHOP的表达。值得注意的是, 突变显著破坏了胰腺内脂质稳态,导致突变兔发生CP。本研究成功建立了首个准确再现由特定人类点突变引起的CP的兔模型。此外,本研究揭示了 与胰腺内脂质代谢之间以前未被认识的联系,为确定人类CP的新治疗靶点提供了基础。
