DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive and destructive inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. One of the most distressing features is pain, which occurs in ~90% of patients, about half of whom have constant pain, which is associated with increased hospitalization and lower quality of life. Since there are multiple pain etiologies and since no standardized method exists to assess pain in patients with CP, novel approaches are needed to better understand the mechanisms of pain in CP and how it can be appropriately treated. The North American Pancreatitis Study 2 (NAPS2) recruited, phenotyped, and obtained biospecimens from the largest US cohort of pancreatitis, and we have completed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) that includes 1,171 NAPS2 CP cases for whom detailed phenotypic pain data are available. We propose to analyze the NAPS2 data set and biospecimens (DNA, serum, pancreas tissue) to define genetic risks and potential mechanisms of constant pain, identify markers of inflammatory pain, and characterize clinical pain complexes that can guide patient management. We have already identified through the full and a nested GWAS 8 candidate genes for "constant" pain. Aim 1 will determine whether these variants are associated with functional changes in genes associated with the constant pain phenotype. Targeted SNP genotyping and gene expression studies will be conducted, including mRNA studies and immunohistochemical staining in human samples. Aim 2 will determine whether c-reactive protein (CRP) or cytokine biomarkers correlate with constant pain. Pain is an indicator of active inflammation, with pro-inflammatory cytokines increasing pain, and anti-inflammatory cytokines diminishing pain. We will test 500 NAPS2 samples for elevated CRP and 10 Th1/Th2 cytokines as biomarkers of inflammation. For positive controls we will include blood samples from 40 acute pancreatitis patients who remain hospitalized for > 4 days for pain or inflammation. Aim 3 will apply machine-learning approaches to test for correlation of genotype, biomarkers, and morphology (obstruction) with quantitative measures of pain pattern, severity, and character as well as SF12 v2 quality of life scores (mental and physical) while controlling for sex, smoking, and alcohol. We anticipate that our machine learning approaches will provide decision rules for the proper classification of pain according to etiology worthy of formal testing in clinical trials. In addition, use of machine learning is anticipated to provide insight into pai mechanism by optimally linking the symptoms signatures, biomarkers, imaging studies, and genetics to complex mechanisms that are seen in patients with painful CP. The goal of this study is to use existing NAPS2 data and biospecimens to construct a framework for future clinical studies that test the effectiveness of personalized pain management based on our machine-learning-predicted etiology rather than symptoms alone.

描述（由申请人提供）：慢性胰腺炎（CP）是胰腺的进行性和破坏性炎症性疾病。最令人痛苦的特征之一是疼痛，约90%的患者出现疼痛，其中约一半患者持续疼痛，这与住院时间增加和生活质量下降有关。由于存在多种疼痛病因，并且没有标准化的方法来评估CP患者的疼痛，因此需要新的方法来更好地了解CP疼痛的机制以及如何适当地治疗CP。北美胰腺炎研究2 （NAPS2）从美国最大的胰腺炎队列中招募、分型并获得生物标本，我们已经完成了一项全基因组关联研究（GWAS），其中包括1171例NAPS2 CP病例，其中详细的表型疼痛数据可用。我们建议分析NAPS2数据集和生物标本（DNA、血清、胰腺组织），以确定持续疼痛的遗传风险和潜在机制，识别炎症性疼痛的标志物，并表征临床疼痛复合物，以指导患者管理。我们已经通过完整的和嵌套的GWAS 8候选基因确定了“持续性”疼痛。目的1将确定这些变异是否与与持续疼痛表型相关的基因的功能改变有关。将开展靶向SNP基因分型和基因表达研究，包括mRNA研究和人体样本免疫组化染色。目的2将确定c反应蛋白（CRP）或细胞因子生物标志物是否与持续疼痛相关。疼痛是炎症活动的一个指标，促炎细胞因子增加疼痛，抗炎细胞因子减少疼痛。我们将测试500个NAPS2样本的CRP升高和10个Th1/Th2细胞因子作为炎症的生物标志物。对于阳性对照，我们将包括40名因疼痛或炎症住院40天的急性胰腺炎患者的血液样本。目标3将应用机器学习方法来测试基因型、生物标志物和形态学（阻塞）与疼痛模式、严重程度和特征的定量测量以及SF12 v2生活质量评分（精神和身体）的相关性，同时控制
