Chronic calcifying pancreatitis (CCP) is characterized by the presence of stones in pancreatic ducts. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the main constituent of stones, to which is associated an organic matrix consisting primarily of one protein of Mr 14,000, the pancreatic stone protein or PSP. PSP is not present as such in pancreatic juice, but in polymorphic forms with higher molecular weights. These secretory forms (PSP S2-5, Mr 16-19,000) are synthesized in the acinar cells of the pancreas and secreted along the same secretory pathway as the exocrine enzymes. The heterogeneity of the forms of higher Mr (PSP S2-5) is probably due to different glycosylation patterns. PSP and PSP S1 are generated by the cleavage of an Arg-Ile bond in the N-terminal part of PSP S2-5. The N-terminal sequence of PSP (40 amino acids) is identical to that of PSP S1, whose complete sequence (133 amino acids) has been determined. Yet, the two proteins differ by their pI. Pancreatic juice is normally supersaturated in CaCO3, suggesting the presence of a stabilizer preventing CaCO3 precipitation. The PSP S could play that role, since an activity inhibiting the nucleation and growth in vitro of CaCO3 crystals was found in pancreatic juice, associated with these proteins. Moreover, PSP S concentration was significantly lower in the pancreatic juice of patients with CCP than in control patients. Proteins homologous to PSP S were also found in the dog, rat, swine, monkey and ox. They constitute a new family of pancreatic secretory proteins, whose biological role would be to maintain pancreatic juice in a stable state towards CaCO3.
