In this issue of the Journal, Gryshchenko et al. describe the identification and characterization of pancreatic macrophages (PMs) in mouse pancreatic lobules in vitro. 1 Much progress has been made in recent years in the understanding of the mechanisms of acute pancreatitis. 2 The use of experimental animal models in vivo has accounted for some of this progress, but most of the insight into the fundamental mechanisms underlying acute pancreatitis has come from studies of various pancreatic tissue preparations in vitro. Most studies of the physiology and pathophysiology of the exocrine pancreas in vitro have been performed using pancreatic acini. The acinus is the functional unit of the exocrine pancreas and consists mainly of digestive enzyme-secreting acinar cells and some stellate cells. 3, 4 Many other cell types are also in the exocrine pancreas such as duct cells, centroacinar cells, connective tissue cells, immune cells, and others, but it is generally not known that pancreatic acini contain these cell types. Pancreatic acini prepared from rodents such as rats, guinea pigs, and mice by gentle collagenase digestion and physical shearing forces have been used to reveal the basic mechanisms of digestive enzyme stimulus-secretion coupling in normal physiology and acute inflammation in pancreatitis pathophysiology. Some insight into other aspects of exocrine pancreatic function has also been obtained using other in vitro preparations such as pancreatic lobules to demonstrate the role of intrinsic pancreatic nerves in scorpion toxin-induced enzyme secretion and acute pancreatitis 5; acini do not contain nerves. Pancreatic lobules are larger than acini and can be prepared by inflating the pancreas with buffer followed either by simple dissection with scissors or by very gentle collagenase digestion. Differentiation of the pancreas and its regeneration has also been studied using tissue culture of pancreatic organoids in vitro. 6Most studies of exocrine pancreatic function are directed at understanding the role of acinar cells in normal physiology and in pathologies such as pancreatitis. This is because acinar cells secrete digestive enzymes and because the hallmarks of acute pancreatitis in people and research animals are damage to acinar cells resulting in release of digestive enzymes such as a-amylase and lipase into the blood and trypsin into the pancreatic extracellular spaces, edema, and necrosis. Isolated, single acinar cells do not survive well in vitro 7 and this has led to the widespread use of pancreatic acini for these studies. Although pancreatic acini have proven invaluable for studying early acinar cell responses to injury, pancreatitis is a complicated biological process that involves both pancreatic acinar cell damage and a subsequent inflammatory response. Modeling this process in vitro is incomplete using only pancreatic acini. In this article, Gryshchenko et al. identify and characterize macrophages in pancreatic lobules. 1 It is not clear whether lobules were used because acini do not contain macrophages or whether acini were not examined. The PMs were identified by immunocytochemistry and by nuclear morphology. These cells had been termed “X” cells in a previous publication. 8 In this article, intracellular Ca2+ signals in response to various agents are characterized in PMs and compared with the Ca2+ signals in neighboring acinar cells and stellate cells (Figure 1). They show that PMs express purinergic receptors, identified pharmacologically as P2Y1 and P2Y13 receptors, sensitive to adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) that signal intracellularly via releasing Ca2+ from internal stores followed by store …
