Core Tip	Patients with mild acute pancreatitis (AP) and patients with walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN) had significantly lower serum levels of platelet derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) compared to healthy subjects. In contrast, alcoholic chronic pancreatitis (CP) was associated with higher serum levels of PDGF-BB. Circulating transforming growth factor ?1 and chemerin levels were elevated in CP patients, but not in patients with AP and WOPN. No significant changes in serum high-mobility group box chromosomal protein 1 levels were found either in patients with AP, WOPN or CP. These data suggest that selected growth factors and cytokines may be considered as potential diagnostic biomarkers in patients with pancreatic diseases.
