In order to study the effect of synthetic trypsin inhibitor on the oncogenesis of pancreatic cancer, the histology, the kinetics of the B, A and D cells in the islets of Langerhans and activities of free radical scavengers, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathion peroxide (GSH-Px) and malon dialdehyde (MDA) in the tumor bearing tissues were measured in hamsters with pancreatic cancer induced by di-iso-propanol nitrosamine (DIPN) with or without camostat (FOY-305). In DIPN group (DIPN alone), the tubular adenocarcinoma was found in 80%, however, in FOY group (DIPN+FOY-305), papillary adenocarcinoma was found in 91%. In both DIPN and FOY groups, the number of B cells was decreased at 8 weeks and the number of A and D cells was decreased at 16 weeks. Activities of SOD in the tumor and borderzone in DIPN group were significantly lower than those in non-tumor region and normal tissue. However, activities of SOD in the tumor and borderzone in FOY group were higher than those in DIPN group. GSH-Px and MDH levels were significantly higher in FOY group suggesting the involvement in the reaction of free radicals. These results suggest that trypsin inhibitors have a prophylactic effect on the development of pancreatic cancer.
