BACKGOUND/AIMS: The injection of cerulein, an analogue of the pancreatic secretagogue cholecystokinin (CCK), induces acute pancreatitis in mice that is accompanied by the synthesis of the transcription factor Egr-1. The signaling cascade that connects cerulein stimulation with enhanced Egr-1 biosynthesis was analyzed.
