Core Tip
Core Tip: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen oxides (NOX) plays a significant role in the development of pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer (PC) by contributing to pancreatic fibrosis and inflammation. It achieves this by generating reactive oxygen species, which damage acinar cells, activate pancreatic stellate cells, and induce macrophage polarization. Moreover, NOX promotes PC progression by interfering with abnormal cell apoptosis, initiating the epithelial to mesenchymal transition processes, and leading to cell genomic instability. A thorough understanding of NOX’s involvement in pancreatic diseases is crucial for comprehending the underlying mechanisms of pancreatitis and PC. This review provides a summary of NOX’s potential roles and mechanisms in pancreatic disorders, emphasizing areas that require further investigation.
