Inhibition of NADPH oxidase may be beneficial for prevention and treatment of pancreatitis by suppressing Jak2/Stat3 and MAPKs and expression of TGF-β1 in pancreatic acinar cells.
We determined whether functional polymorphisms in the transforming growth factor-beta1 gene at positions -509, +869 (codon 10) and +915 (codon 25), in the interleukin-10 gene at position -1082, and in the intron 1 of the interferon-gamma gene at position +874 are associated with hereditary, familial or sporadic pancreatitis.
