Popis: Objectives In this study, we identified the protein kinases that play the most distinct roles in the occurrence of acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods Gene expression profile data were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database (GSE3644). The sample was from caerulein-induced AP mice. The intersection of the differentially expressed genes in AP mice taken from a protein kinase database was obtained for screening of the protein kinase encoded genes that were differentially expressed. Database for annotation, visualization, and integrated discovery was used for the functional enrichment analysis. Kinase inhibitors that regulated these kinases were retrieved from PubMed through text mining. Results Twenty-nine differentially expressed kinase encoded genes were identified through screening. The functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that the functions of these genes were primarily enriched in "mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway," followed by "extracellular regulated protein kinases pathway," "neurotrophin signaling pathway," "adherens junction," and "gap junction." SRC and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) were related to extracellular regulated protein kinases pathway and also related to adherens junction as well as gap junction. On the basis of the regulated kinases, the kinase inhibitors reported in the literature were classified into multiple groups. Conclusions EGFR and SRC may be coexpressed in AP. The kinase inhibitors working together in SRC and EGFR may play better efficacy in the treatment of AP.
