Atypical hyperplasia of choledocho‐pancreatic duct epithelium in an Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty strain of rats

Abstract: Epithelial papillary hyperplasia of choledocho-pancreatic duct, associated with cellular atypism, was observed in Otsuka Long Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, a strain originally established as an animal model for non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). To investigate the potential feasibility of OLETF rats as an animal model for pancreatic ductal carcinoma, we examined the pathological characteristics of ductal lesions in OLETF rats aged from 5 to 50 weeks. Hyperplastic lesions in OLETF rats becam… Show more

“…For two‐point linkage analysis and association study, we treated this phenotype as a qualitative trait by dividing animals to two groups, affected (grade 1 and grade 2) and unaffected (grade 0). As reported previously, 14 hyperplastic proliferation in affected animals (grade 2) was observed in the main choledocho‐pancreatic duct and was characterized by the appearance of many crypts within thickened ductal walls (Fig. 1a).…”

“…The Long–Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rat shares a similar genetic background with the OLETF rat but does not develop T2DM 12 . As we previously reported, LETO rats occasionally develop hyperplasia in the pancreatic duct epithelium; 50% of the male rats bear hyperplasia at the age of 30 weeks, however, these lesions are mild and not atypical 14 . The observation that LETO rats contain intact Cckar suggests that additional loci contribute to the susceptibility to hyperplasia.…”

“…Diet restriction or exercise in juvenile stages or shortly after the onset of diabetes postpones the onset of diabetes or an improvement of diabetes. It is of note that atypical hyperplasia of bile and pancreatic ducts is often encountered in this model which may provide some clues to the increased frequencies of atypical growth of ductal neoplasms 136 .…”
