Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS: During development of alcoholic pancreatitis, oxidative (acetaldehyde) and nonoxidative metabolites (ethyl palmitate, ethyl oleate), rather than ethanol itself, mediate toxic injury. Exposure of pancreatic acini to ethanol blocks cholecystokinin (CCK)-8-stimulated apical exocytosis and redirects exocytosis to the basolateral plasma membrane, causing interstitial pancreatitis. We examined how each ethanol metabolite contributes to these changes in exocytosis. METHODS: Rat pancreatic acini were incubated with concentrations of ethanol associated with alcoholic pancreatitis (20-50 mmol/L) or ethanol metabolites (1-3 mmol/L) and then stimulated with CCK-8. We performed single zymogen granule (ZG) exocytosis assays, Ca(2+) imaging studies, ultrastructural analyses (with electron microscopy), and confocal microscopy to assess the actin cytoskeleton and track the movement of vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)-8-containing ZGs. Coimmunoprecipitation assays were used to identify complexes that contain the distinct combinations of Munc18 and the soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment protein receptor proteins, which mediate apical (ZG-apical plasma membrane) and basolateral exocytosis and fusion between ZGs (ZG-ZG). RESULTS: The ethanol metabolites acetaldehyde, ethyl palmitate, and ethyl oleate reduced CCK-8-stimulated apical exocytosis and formation of apical exocytotic complexes (between Munc18b and Syntaxin-2, synaptosomal-associated protein of 23 kilodaltons [SNAP23], and VAMP2) in rat pancreatic acini. Acetaldehyde and ethyl oleate redirected CCK-8-stimulated exocytosis to the basal and lateral plasma membranes and translocation of VAMP8-containing ZGs toward the basolateral plasma membrane. This process was mediated primarily via formation of basolateral exocytotic complexes (between Munc18c and Syntaxin-4, SNAP23, and VAMP8). Exposure of the acini to acetaldehyde and ethyl oleate followed by CCK-8 stimulation mildly perturbed the actin cytoskeleton and Ca(2+) signaling; exposure to ethyl palmitate severely affected Ca(2+) signaling. Acetaldehyde, like ethanol, promoted fusion between ZGs by the formation of ZG-ZG exocytotic complexes (between Munc18b and Syntaxin-3, SNAP23, and VAMP8), whereas ethyl palmitate and ethyl oleate reduced ZG-ZG fusion and formation of these complexes. CONCLUSIONS: The ethanol metabolites acetaldehyde, ethyl palmitate, and ethyl oleate perturb exocytosis processes in cultured rat pancreatic acini (apical blockade, basolateral exocytosis, and fusion between ZGs). Acetaldehyde and, to a lesser degree, ethyl oleate produce many of the same pathologic effects of ethanol on CCK-8-stimulated exocytosis in pancreatic acini.
