Inhibition of xanthine oxidase alleviated pancreatic necrosis via HIF-1α-regulated LDHA and NLRP3 signaling pathway in acute pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis(AP)is a potentially fatal condition with no targeted treatment options.Although inhibiting xanthine oxidase(XO)in the treatment of AP has been studied in several experi-mental models and clinical trials,whether XO is a target of AP and what its the main mechanism of ac-tion is remains unclear.Here,we aimed to re-evaluate whether XO is a target aggravating AP other than merely generating reactive oxygen species that trigger AP.We first revealed that XO expression and enzyme activity were significantly elevated in the serum and pancreas of necrotizing AP models.We also found that allopurinol and febuxostat,as purine-like and non-purine XO inhibitors,respectively,exhibited protective effects against pancreatic acinar cell death in vitro and pancreatic damage in vivo at different doses and treatment time points.Moreover,we observed that conditional Xdh overexpression aggravated pancreatic necrosis and severity.Further mechanism analysis showed that XO inhibition restored the hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha(HIF-1α)-regulated lactate dehydrogenase A(LDHA)and NOD-like re-ceptor family pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3)signaling pathways and reduced the enrichment of 13C6-glucose to 13C3-lactate.Lastly,we observed that clinical circulatory XO activity was significantly elevated in severe cases and correlated with C-reactive protein levels,while pancreatic XO and urate were also increased in severe AP patients.These results together indicated that proper inhibition of XO might be a promising therapeutic strategy for alleviating pancreatic necrosis and preventing progression of se-vere AP by downregulating HIF-1α-mediated LDHA and NLRP3 signaling pathways.
