Core Tip Using caerulein-induced mouse and endoscope-based porcine acute pancreatitis (AP) models, this study found aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) expression in pancreatic acinar cells increased while activity decreased, accompanied by autophagic substrate accumulation and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation. During AP, ALDH2 deficiency in pancreatic acinar cells exacerbated autophagic substrate accumulation and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in vivo and in vitro. ALDH2 deficiency attenuated rapamycin's inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, while ALDH2 agonist Alda-1 reduced inflammasome components in an autophagy-dependent manner, as evidenced by chloroquine reversal. These findings link ALDH2, autophagy, and NLRP3 inflammasome regulation in pancreatic acinar cells.
