The expression of micro RNA-19b（mi R-19b） in acute necrotizing pancreatitis（ANP） and its functional role in acinar cell necrosis of SD rats were investigated. Twelve SD rats were divided into two groups randomly, including control group and ANP group. The rat ANP models were established by intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine（2400 mg/kg body weight）, and equal volume of 0.9% Na Cl was injected in the control group. Mi RNA chip assay was performed to examine the expression of mi RNAs in the pancreas in two different groups. Besides, to further explore the role of mi R-19 b in ANP in vitro, taurolithocholic acid 3-sulfate disodium salt（TLC-S）（200 μmol/L） was administrated to treat the rat pancreatic acinar cell line, AR42 J, for establishing the ANP cells model. The quantitative real-time PCR（q RT-PCR） was adopted to measure the mi R-19 b expression. Moreover, the mimic mi RNA, mi RNA antisense oligonucleotide（AMO） and control vector were used to transfect AR42 J cells, the expression of mi R-19 b was confirmed by q RT-PCR and the necrotizing rate of AR42 J cells was detected with AO/EB method. The expression of mi R-19 b was significantly higher in ANP group than in control group as displayed by the mi RNA chip assay. Furthermore, after inducing necrosis of AR42 J cells in vitro, the expression of mi R-19 b was significantly increased by 2.51±0.14 times in comparison with the control group. As revealed by q RT-PCR assay, the expression of mi R-19 b was 5.94±0.95 times higher in the mimic mi RNA group than in the control vector group, companied with an obviously increased acinar cell necrotizing rate（50.3%±1.5% vs. 39.6%±2.3%, P〈0.05）. Moreover, the expression of mi R-19 b in the mi RNA AMO group was 0.38±0.15 times lower than in the control vector group, and the cell necrosis rate was much lower accordingly（23.1%±3.3% vs. 39.6%±2.3%, P〈0.05）. Besides, there was no significant difference between the control vector cells and the cells without treatment（P〈0.05）. The expression of mi R-19 b was significantly induced in ANP. In addition, up-regulation of mi R-19 b could promote the necrosis of pancreatic acinar cells and mi R-19 b deficiency could decrease the rate of pancreatic acinar cell necrosis.
