Background

Keratin 8 (K8) and 18 (K18) are the major components of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton of pancreatic acinar cells and play a relevant role in pancreatic exocrine homeostasis. Transgenic mice for K8 have shown to display progressive exocrine pancreas alterations, including dysplasia, loss of acinar architecture, redifferentiation of acinar to ductal cells, inflammation, fibrosis, and substitution of exocrine tissue by adipose tissue.

Aim

To investigate whether mutations in the keratin 8 gene are associated with chronic pancreatitis.

Methods

Mutations in the keratin 8 gene were determined by polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism in 67 chronic pancreatitis patients and 100 normal controls. Sequence analysis was performed when necessary.

Results

Glycine-to-cysteine mutations at position 61 (G61C) of the keratin 8 gene were found in six patients (8.9 vs. 0%, p(c) < 0.003, odds ratio = 21.24, confidence interval = 2.74-164.42); none of the controls presented the mutation. No tyrosine-to-histidine mutations at position 53 (Y53H) were detected in any subject.

Conclusion

G61C mutation of the keratin 8 gene, together with other environmental factors and/or genetic factors, could predispose to chronic pancreatitis, by interfering with the normal organization of keratin filaments."xsd:string
