In the present study the effect of reactive oxygen species on the morphological changes of pancreatic epithelial cells in a three-dimensional culture system was investigated. In addition, the expression of signaling molecules during this process was determined. Matrigel (TM) was used to construct a three-dimensional culture model of pancreatic epithelial and cancer cells. The cultured cells were stimulated with 1 or 200 mu mol/l H2O2 (a typical reactive oxygen species), and the morphological changes were then evaluated after 15 min, 1 h and 4 h. The cytoskeleton of the cells was observed using laser scanning confocal microscopy with immunofluorescence staining. In addition, the nuclear content of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappa B) was detected using ELISA. The results demonstrated that treatment with 200 mu mol/l H2O2, induced cell contraction after 15 min, and cell morphology recovered after 1 h; however, cell size was reduced after 4 h. Consequently, intracellular actin and microtubules were rapidly lost following H2O2 treatment, and the cytoskeleton became indistinct and eventually disintegrated after 4 h. Similar observations were noted for the normal pancreatic epithelial and cancer cells. By contrast, treatment with 1 mu mol/l H2O2, did not affect the morphology and cytoskeleton of pancreatic epithelial cells. In addition, 200 mu mol/l H2O2 treatment increased the activity of NF-kappa B gradually, while 1 mu mol/l H2O2 treatment was found to have little impact on the activity of NF-kappa B. Therefore, it was demonstrated that oxidative stress can induce the early onset of reversible cell contraction and cytoskeleton depolarization in pancreatic epithelial cells, and can increase NF-kappa B expression.
