Dopamine D2 Receptor Signaling Attenuates Acinar Cell Necroptosis in Acute Pancreatitis through the Cathepsin B/TFAM/ROS Pathway

Figure 2

DRD2 activation with quinpirole alleviated acinar cell necroptosis via inhibiting CTSB. Isolated PACs were pretreated with quinpirole (5 μM) for 0.5 h and then stimulated with 200 nM CCK with or without LLOMe(0.5 mM) for 6 h. Cell injury determined by (a) the percentage of ATP depletion and (b) LDH leakage (=3 per group). (c) RIP1 was immunoprecipitated from acinar cell lysates and immunoblot analysis for RIP1 and RIP3. (d, e) Immunoblot analysis and quantification of RIP3, p-MLKL, and MLKL proteins of PACs ( =4 per group). , , and .
