Ruxolitinib reduces disease severity in a murine model of chronic pancreatitis. (a) Treatment schedule for in vivo experiments. Mice were administered caerulein or PBS (control) via intraperitoneal injection 6X/day, 3 days/week, for 5 weeks. Ruxolitinib was given 2X/day via oral gavage during the final week. (b) IHC analysis of pSTAT3 from healthy control mice, pancreatitis-induced mice, and pancreatitis-induced mice treated with ruxolitinib or vehicle control. (c) Serum lipase and amylase levels were analyzed upon euthanasia (* indicates p < 0.05). (d) FFPE pancreata from caerulein-injected mice treated with either ruxolitinib or vehicle were stained for H&E, Masson’s Trichrome, CD3, and α-SMA. Images are representative of 5 mice per group. Slides were quantified using Vectra automated quantitative pathology imaging system and InForm analysis. Graphs display percent acini, fibrosis, CD3, and α-SMA (* indicates p < 0.05).
