description Abstract This study aimed to elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which PLD2 controls apoptosis and edema in pancreatic cells via the Nrf2/NF-κB pathway. AR42J rat pancreatic cells were treated with 10 nM mitomycin to create an in vitro pancreatitis model (model group), with a control group receiving phosphate-buffered saline. Cells were transfected with a PLD2 overexpression plasmid using Lipofectamine 3000, forming the PLD2 overexpression group. PLD2 protein expression was assessed by Western blotting, and TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 levels were measured by RT-qPCR. Nrf2/NF-κB protein expressions were also analyzed. Apoptosis and necrosis were evaluated using Annexin V-FITC/PI staining and the LDH release test. Cell edema was assessed by cell volume, ion content, and membrane damage. Western blotting was used to analyze pan-apoptosis-related proteins. PLD2 expression was lower in the model group compared to controls (P < 0.05) but higher in the PLD2 overexpression group (P < 0.05). TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 levels were elevated in the model group (P < 0.05) and reduced in the PLD2 overexpression group (P < 0.05). Nrf2 expression decreased in the model group but increased with PLD2 overexpression (P < 0.05). NF-κB expression increased in the model group but decreased with PLD2 overexpression (P < 0.05). Apoptosis and necrosis rates were higher in the model group (P < 0.05) but lower in the PLD2 overexpression group (P < 0.05). Cell volume, Na + content, and LDH release increased in the model group (P < 0.05) but decreased with PLD2 overexpression (P < 0.05). RIPK1 expression decreased in the model group (P < 0.05) but increased with PLD2 overexpression (P < 0.05). CASP8, FADD, and ZBP1 levels were higher in the model group (P < 0.05) and reduced with PLD2 overexpression (P < 0.05). PLD2 exerts a protective effect in acute pancreatitis by activating Nrf2 and inhibiting NF-κB, reducing apoptosis, cell swelling, and membrane damage. This highlights potential therapeutic targets for pancreatic inflammation.
