METHODS： SAP model of rats was established by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate （1 mL/kg） into the pancreatic duct. We immunohistochemically assayed the expression of three complement activation regulators： decay accelerating factor （DAF; CD55）, 20 ku homologous restriction factor （HRF20; CD59） and membrane cofactor protein （MCP; CEH6）, in the pancreatic acinar cells of rats at 0, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after the induction of SAP model. Meanwhile the levels of amylase and lipase were determined, and morphological examination was performed. Then, 61 rats were randomly divided into three groups. Group A （n = 21） received no treatment after the SAP model was established; group B （n = 20） was given IL-4 （8 IJg/animal） intraperitoneally 0.5 h before the SAP model was established; group C （n = 20） was given IL-4 （8 μg/animal） intraperitoneaUy 0.5 h after the SAP model was established. Plasma amylase and lipase, extent of pancreatic necrosis and expression of complement activation regulators were investigated 6 h after the induction of SAP model. RESULTS： Three complement activation regulators were all expressed in pancreatic acinar cells. MCP was not found on the basolateral surface as reported. Contrary to the gradually increasing plasma level of amylase and lipase, expression of complement activation regulators decreased after SAP model was set up. At the same time, the severity of pancreatic necrosis was enhanced. A strong negative correlation was found between the expression of MCP, DAF, CD59 in pancreatic acinar cells and the severity of pancreatic necrosis （r = -0.748, -0.827, -0.723; P〈0.01）.
