RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Hemodialysis treatment using standard dialysate bicarbonate concentrations cause transient metabolic alkalosis possibly associated with hemodynamic instability. The aim of this study was to perform a detailed comparison of high and low dialysate bicarbonate in terms of blood pressure, intradialytic hemodynamic parameters, orthostatic blood pressure, and electrolytes. METHODS: Fifteen hemodialysis patients were examined in a single-blind, randomized, controlled, crossover study. Participants underwent a 4-h hemodialysis session with dialysate bicarbonate concentration of 30 or 38 mmol/L with 1 week between interventions. Blood pressure was monitored throughout hemodialysis, while cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, stroke volume, and central blood volume were assessed with ultrasound dilution technique (Transonic). Orthostatic blood pressure was measured pre- and post-hemodialysis. FINDINGS: With similar ultrafiltration (UF) volume (2.6 L), systolic blood pressure (SBP) tended to decrease more during high dialysate bicarbonate compared to low dialysate bicarbonate; the mean (95% confidence interval) between treatment differences in SBP were: 8 (-4; 20) mmHg (end of hemodialysis) and 7 (0; 15) mmHg (post-hemodialysis). Stroke volume decreased whereas total peripheral resistance increased significantly more during high dialysate bicarbonate compared to low dialysate bicarbonate with mean between treatment differences: Stroke volume: 12 (1; 23) mL; Total peripheral resistance: -2.9 (-5.3; -0.5) mmHg/(L/min). Cardiac output tended to decrease more with high dialysate bicarbonate compared to low dialysate bicarbonate with mean between treatment difference 0.7 (0.0; 1.4) L/min. High dialysate bicarbonate caused alkalosis, hypocalcemia, and lower plasma potassium, whereas patients remained normocalcemic with normal pH during low dialysate bicarbonate. Orthostatic blood pressure response after dialysis did not differ significantly. DISCUSSION: The use of high dialysate bicarbonate compared to low dialysate bicarbonate was associated with hypocalcemia, alkalosis, and a more pronounced hypokalemia. During hemodialysis with UF, a better preservation of blood pressure, stroke volume, and cardiac output may be achieved with low dialysate bicarbonate compared to high dialysate bicarbonate.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) and prolonged exposure to PD fluids (PDF) induce peritoneal membrane (PM) fibrosis and hypervascularity, leading to functional PM degeneration. 2-deoxy-glucose (2-DG) has shown potential as PM antifibrotic by inhibiting hyper-glycolysis induced mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (MMT). We investigated whether administration of 2-DG with several PDF affects the permeability of mesothelial and endothelial barrier of the PM. The antifibrotic effect of 2-DG was confirmed by the gel contraction assay with embedded mesothelial (MeT-5A) or endothelial (EA.hy926) cells cultured in Dianeal® 2.5 % (CPDF), BicaVera® 2.3 % (BPDF), Balance® 2.3 % (LPDF) with/without 2-DG addition (0.2 mM), and qPCR for αSMA, CDH2 genes. Moreover, 2-DG effect was tested on the permeability of monolayers of mesothelial and endothelial cells by monitoring the transmembrane resistance (RTM), FITC-dextran (10, 70 kDa) diffusion and mRNA expression levels of CLDN-1 to -5, ZO1, SGLT1, and SGLT2 genes. Contractility of MeT-5A cells in CPDF/2-DG was decreased, accompanied by αSMA (0.17 ± 0.03) and CDH2 (2.92 ± 0.29) gene expression fold changes. Changes in αSMA, CDH2 were found in EA.hy926 cells, though αSMA also decreased under LPDF/2-DG incubation (0.42 ± 0.02). Overall, 2-DG mitigated the PDF-induced alterations in mesothelial and endothelial barrier function as shown by RTM, dextran transport and expression levels of the CLDN-1 to -5, ZO1, and SGLT2. Thus, supplementation of PDF with 2-DG not only reduces MMT but also improves functional permeability characteristics of the PM mesothelial and endothelial barrier.

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal fibrosis is a common complication of peritoneal dialysis, which may lead to ultrafiltration failure and ultimately treatment discontinuation. LncRNAs participate in many biological processes during tumorigenesis. We investigated the role of AK142426 in peritoneal fibrosis. METHODS: The AK142426 level in peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluid was detected by quantitative real-time-PCR assay. The M2 macrophage distribution was determined by flow cytometry. The inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α and TGF-ß1 were measured by ELISA assay. The direct interaction between AK142426 and c-Jun was evaluated by RNA pull-down assay. In addition, the c-Jun and fibrosis related proteins were assessed by western blot analysis. RESULTS: The PD-induced peritoneal fibrosis mouse model was successfully established. More importantly, PD treatment induced M2 macrophage polarization and the inflammation in PD fluid, which might be associated with exosome transmission. Fortunately, AK142426 was observed to be upregulated in PD fluid. Mechanically, knockdown of AK142426 suppressed M2 macrophage polarization and inflammation. Furthermore, AK142426 could upregulate c-Jun through binding c-Jun protein. In rescue experiments, overexpression of c-Jun could partially abolish the inhibitory effect of sh-AK142426 on the activation of M2 macrophages and inflammation. Consistently, knockdown of AK142426 alleviated peritoneal fibrosis in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated that knockdown of AK142426 suppressed M2 macrophage polarization and inflammation in peritoneal fibrosis via binding to c-Jun, suggesting that AK142426 might be a promising therapeutic target for patients of peritoneal fibrosis.

Background: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease patients. However, long-term exposure to peritoneal dialysate will lead to the development of peritoneal fibrosis. Epigenetics has been shown to play an important role in peritoneal fibrosis, but the role of histone deacetylases 8 (HDAC8) in peritoneal fibrosis have not been elucidated. In this research, we focused on the role and mechanisms of HDAC8 in peritoneal fibrosis and discussed the mechanisms involved. Methods: We examined the expression of HDAC8 in the peritoneum and dialysis effluent of continuous PD patients. Then we assessed the role and mechanism of HDAC8 in peritoneal fibrosis progression in mouse model of peritoneal fibrosis induced by high glucose peritoneal dialysis fluid by using PCI-34051. In vitro, TGF-ß1 or IL-4 were used to stimulate human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) or RAW264.7 cells to establish two cell injury models to further explore the role and mechanism of HDAC8 in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and macrophage polarization. Results: We found that HDAC8 expressed highly in the peritoneum from patients with PD-related peritonitis. We further revealed that the level of HDAC8 in the dialysate increased over time, and HDAC8 was positively correlated with TGF-ß1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and negatively correlated with cancer antigen 125. In mouse model of peritoneal fibrosis induced by high glucose dialysate, administration of PCI-34051 (a selective HDAC8 inhibitor) significantly prevented the progression of peritoneal fibrosis. Treatment with PCI-34051 blocked the phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the activation of its downstream signaling pathways ERK1/2 and STAT3/HIF-1α. Inhibition of HDAC8 also reduced apoptosis. In vitro, HDAC8 silencing with PCI-34051 or siRNA inhibited TGF-ß1-induced EMT and apoptosis in HPMCs. In addition, continuous high glucose dialysate or IL-4 stimulation induced M2 macrophage polarization. Blockade of HDAC8 reduced M2 macrophage polarization by inhibiting the activation of STAT6 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Conclusions: We demonstrated that HDAC8 promoted the EMT of HPMCs via EGFR/ERK1/2/STAT3/HIF-1α, induced M2 macrophage polarization via STAT6 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, and ultimately accelerated the process of peritoneal fibrosis.

Acute dietary nitrate (NO3-) supplementation can increase [NO3-], but not nitrite ([NO2-]), in human skeletal muscle, though its effect on [NO3-] and [NO2-] in skin remains unknown. In an independent group design, 11 young adults ingested 140 mL of NO3--rich beetroot juice (BR; 9.6 mmol NO3-), and 6 young adults ingested 140 mL of a NO3--depleted placebo (PL). Skin dialysate, acquired through intradermal microdialysis, and venous blood samples were collected at baseline and every hour post-ingestion up to 4 h to assess dialysate and plasma [NO3-] and [NO2-]. The relative recovery rate of NO3- and NO2- through the microdialysis probe (73.1% and 62.8%), determined in a separate experiment, was used to estimate skin interstitial [NO3-] and [NO2-]. Baseline [NO3-] was lower, whereas baseline [NO2-] was higher in the skin interstitial fluid relative to plasma (both P < 0.001). Acute BR ingestion increased [NO3-] and [NO2-] in the skin interstitial fluid and plasma (all P < 0.001), with the magnitude being smaller in the skin interstitial fluid (e.g., 183 ± 54 vs. 491 ± 62 µM for Δ[NO3-] from baseline and 155 ± 190 vs. 217 ± 204 nM for Δ[NO2-] from baseline at 3 h post BR ingestion, both P ≤ 0.037). However, due to the aforementioned baseline differences, skin interstitial fluid [NO2-] post BR ingestion was higher, whereas [NO3-] was lower relative to plasma (all P < 0.001). These findings extend our understanding of NO3- and NO2- distribution at rest and indicate that acute BR supplementation increases [NO3-] and [NO2-] in human skin interstitial fluid.

BACKGROUND: There is little information on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of sacubitril/valsartan (SV) in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) complicated with hypertension or heart failure (HF). This study was designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of SV in PD patients with complications of hypertension or HF. METHODS: This was an open-label and cross-sectional study investigating PD patients diagnosed with hypertension or New York Heart Association Class II-IV HF. The concentrations of valsartan, sacubitril and sacubitrilat (LBQ657) were measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in plasma, urine and peritoneal dialysate samples. Pharmacodynamics were evaluated by comparing changes in mean sitting systolic blood pressure (msSBP), mean sitting diastolic blood pressure (msDBP), mean sitting heart rate, N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). RESULTS: Forty patients with PD were enrolled including 27 (67.5%) patients with hypertension, 4 (10%) patients with HF and 9 (22.5%) patients with both hypertension and HF. This study included three treatment cohorts: 50 mg twice daily (BID), 100 mg once daily and 100 mg BID. The plasma maximum drug concentrations in the 100 mg BID group were 1995 ± 1499 ng/mL for valsartan, 171 ± 148 ng/mL for sacubitril and 13 686 ± 7418 ng/mL for LBQ657. The 24-h recovery rate of LBQ657 was 3.77% in urine and 2.23% in peritoneal dialysate. After taking SV, msSBP and msDBP decreased by 19.25 ± 10.32 mmHg and 10.10 ± 8.00 mmHg from baseline, respectively. NT-proBNP decreased by 1436.50 (0.00-18 198.00) from baseline, while LVEF increased by 5.00 (-0.25 to 9.25) from baseline after SV treatment. CONCLUSIONS: PD and residual renal function contributed only to a minor degree to the elimination of LBQ657. Additionally, a dose of 100 mg BID SV is safe and effective in patients with PD with complications of hypertension or HF.

INTRODUCTION: Prescribing the ultrafiltration in hemodialysis patients remains challenging and might benefit from the information on absolute blood volume, estimated by intradialytic dialysate bolus administration. Here, we aimed at determining the relationship between absolute blood volume, normalized for body mass (specific blood volume, Vs), and ultrafiltration-induced decrease in relative blood volume (∆RBV) as well as clinical parameters including body mass index (BMI). METHODS: This retrospective analysis comprised 77 patients who had their dialysate bolus-based absolute blood volume extracted routinely with an automated method. Patient-specific characteristics and ∆RBV were analyzed as a function of Vs, dichotomizing the data above or below a previously proposed threshold of 65 ml/kg for Vs. Statistical methodology comprised descriptive analyses, two-group comparisons, and correlation analyses. FINDINGS: Median Vs was 68.6 ml/kg (54.9 ml/kg [Quartile 1], 83.4 ml/kg [Quartile 3]). Relative blood volume decreased by 6.3% (2.6%, 12.2%) over the entire hemodialysis session. Vs correlated inversely with BMI (rs = -0.688, p < 0.001). ∆RBV was 9.8% in the group of patients with Vs <65 ml/kg versus 6.0% in the group of patients with Vs ≥65 ml/kg (p = 0.024). The two groups did not differ significantly regarding their specific ultrafiltration volume, normalized for body mass, which amounted to 34.1 ml/kg and 36.0 ml/kg in both groups, respectively (p = 0.630). ∆RBV correlated inversely with Vs (rs = -0.299, p = 0.008). DISCUSSION: The present study suggests that patients with higher BMI and lower Vs experience larger blood volume changes, despite similar ultrafiltration requirements. These results underline the clinical plausibility and importance of dialysate bolus-based absolute blood volume determination in the assessment of target weight, especially in view of a previous study where intradialytic morbid events could be decreased when the target weight was adjusted, based on Vs.

INTRODUCTION: Glucose absorption during peritoneal dialysis (PD) is commonly assumed to occur via paracellular pathways. We recently showed that SGLT2 inhibition did not reduce glucose absorption in experimental PD, but the potential role of glucose transport into cells is still unclear. Here we sought to elucidate the effects of phlorizin, a non-selective competitive inhibitor of sodium glucose co-transporters 1 and 2 (SGLT1 and SGLT2), in an experimental rat model of PD. METHODS: A 120-min PD dwell was performed in 12 anesthetised Sprague-Dawley rats using 1.5% glucose fluid with a fill volume of 20 mL with (n = 6) or without (n = 6) intraperitoneal phlorizin (50 mg/L). Several parameters for peritoneal water and solute transport were monitored during the treatment. RESULTS: Phlorizin markedly increased the urinary excretion of glucose, lowered plasma glucose and increased plasma creatinine after PD. Median glucose diffusion capacity at 60 min was significantly lower (p < 0.05) being 196 µL/min (IQR 178-213) for phlorizin-treated animals compared to 238 µL/min (IQR 233-268) in controls. Median fractional dialysate glucose concentration at 60 min (D/D 0) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in phlorizin-treated animals being 0.65 (IQR 0.63-0.67) compared to 0.61 (IQR 0.60-0.62) in controls. At 120 min, there was no difference in solute or water transport across the peritoneal membrane. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that a part of glucose absorption during the initial part of the dwell occurs via transport into peritoneal cells.

BACKGROUND: The optimal dialysate sodium concentration (dNa) in children on hemodialysis (HD) is unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the effect on interdialytic weight gain (IDWG) and blood pressure (BP) of a low (135 mmol/l) and standard dNa (138 mmol/l) in children and young adults on maintenance HD. METHODS: This prospective single-blind randomized crossover study consisted of a randomized sequence of two phases: "standard dNa" of 138 mmol/L and "low dNa" of 135 mmol/L. Each phase lasted 4 weeks. Inclusion criteria were age < 25 years, hypertension, pre-HD serum Na (sNa) ≥ 130 mmol/L, and occurrence of symptoms in less than 25% of sessions. Primary outcomes were pre-HD systolic and diastolic BP and IDWG. RESULTS: Fifteen patients were recruited, mean age 17.8 ± 4.4 years. Pre-HD SBP and DBP were not different between the two treatments. Mean IDWG was significantly lower with low dNa than with standard dNa: 2.12 ± 1.39% vs. 2.77 ± 1.53%, respectively (p = 0.008). The first-hour refill index (a volume index based on blood-volume monitoring) was significantly lower with dNa 135 mmol/L (p = 0.018). The mean Na gradient (dNa-sNa) was - 2.53 ± 2.4 mmol/L with dNa 135 mmol/L and 0.17 ± 2.8 mmol/L with dNa 138 mmol/L (p = 0.0001). The incidence of symptomatic sessions was similar (1.0% vs. 1.0%). CONCLUSIONS: In a selected population of hypertensive pediatric and young adult HD patients, a dNa of 135 mmol/L was associated with a significant reduction of IDWG compared with a dNa of 138 mmol/L. Furthermore, long-term studies are needed to investigate the effect of lowering dNa on BP. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

BACKGROUND: Bacterial peritonitis remains a significant cause of mortality in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Early detection of causative organisms and targeted antimicrobial treatment allow for better clinical outcomes. This study compares bacterial growth results from peritoneal dialysate in the BACTEC blood culture system vs. conventional culture. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective study on 46 patients with 63 consecutive episodes of suspected PD peritonitis between August 2020 and August 2021. PD dialysate was simultaneously sent to the laboratory in both BACTEC and sterile bottles. BACTEC bottles were incubated in the BD BACTEC FX system for 5 days. PD effluent transported from the sterile bottles was centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 15 minutes; the supernatant was inoculated into cooked-meat broth for enrichment. Both incubation methods were extended to 14 days if microorganisms were seen on the Gram-stained smear. Recovery of isolated micro-organisms and time to detection (TTD) were compared. RESULTS: 26 episodes of suspected PD peritonitis based on clinical criteria were identified during the study period. The sensitivity of the BACTEC and the conventional culture methods was 50% and 42.3%, respectively (p = 0.45). Seven samples had partial concordance or discordant results. McNemar's χ2-test revealed no statistical difference between either method (p = 0.45). TTD was 18.9 ± 24.4 hours via the BACTEC method vs. 37 ± 16.5 hours in conventional cultures (p = 0.014). CONCLUSION: The comparable sensitivities and similar yield in identifying pathogens could be due to the enrichment medium and prolonged incubation period. The shorter TTD for the BACTEC method could facilitate earlier confirmation of bacteriological diagnosis and subsequent treatment strategies.

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important alternative treatment for end-stage renal disease. Continuous exposure to non-physiological fluids during PD is associated with pathological responses, such as sustained microinflammation, leading to tissue fibrosis and angiogenesis. However, the effect of PD fluid on submesothelial cells has not yet been investigated in detail. METHODS: We investigated the association between macrophages and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12), an elastin proteinase secreted by macrophages, in the peritoneal tissue of rats undergoing continuous PD. RESULTS: Morphological data revealed that the submesothelial layer of the peritoneum in PD model rats was markedly thickened, with fibrosis and angiogenesis. In the fibrillization area, elastin was disorganized and fragmented, and macrophages accumulated, which tended to have M2 characteristics. The expression of MMP-12 was enhanced by continuous exposure to PD fluid, suggesting that MMP-12 expression may be involved in PD fluid-induced peritoneal damage. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study may lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying fibrosis in PD.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of glucose-free and glucose-containing dialysates during dialysis in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients by the prospective cross-over study, and detect glucose control methods in MHD patients. METHODS: A total of 66 MHD 18-75 years old patients in our hospital from Nov. 2019 to Mar. 2020 were recruited. All patients underwent HD with 4 hours per time, three times per week. Glucose-free dialysate (glucose-free group) and then 5.55 mmol/L glucose-containing dialysate (glucose-5.55 group) were used alternately in dialysis. The demographics and parameters of pre- and post-dialysis were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 60 patients were analyzed, and 28 patients among them had type 2 diabetes. Serum glucose pre and post dialysis were 8.64 ± 4.18 mmol/L versus 5.74 ± 1.82 mmol/L (p < 0.01) in glucose-free dialysate, and 9.31 ± 4.89 mmol/L versus 7.80 ± 2.59 mmol/L (p < 0.01) in glucose-5.55 dialysate. The post-dialysis blood glucose of glucose-free group was lower than glucose-5.55 group (5.74 ± 1.82 vs 7.80 ± 2.59, p < 0.01). About 18 (30.00%) patients in glucose-free group and 1 patient (1.67%) in glucose-5.55 group whose blood glucose was lower than 4.44 mmol/L (p < 0.01). About 29 patients (48.33%) in glucose-free group and 17 patients (28.33%; p = 0.02) in glucose-5.55 group have hunger feeling. Serum sodium level in the glucose-free group was higher than that in Glucose-5.55 group (137.92 ± 1.64 vs 136.70 ± 1.64, p < 0.01). Post-dialysis blood glucose had no significant differences between patients not using diabetes-related medication (13 patients) and patients using diabetes-related medication (15 patients) in glucose-free group (7.13 ± 1.78 mmol/L vs 6.08 ± 2.84 mmol/L, p = 0.23) and glucose-5.55 group (9.22 ± 2.59 mmol/L vs 9.35 ± 2.88 mmol/L, p = 0.90). CONCLUSIONS: Glucose-free and glucose-5.55 dialysate both decrease the blood glucose post-dialysis. Dialysates containing 5.55 mmol/L glucose can reduce the incidence of hypoglycemia and lower serum sodium, but have no effect on blood pressure during dialysis. Stopping insulin and oral anti-diabetic drugs once before dialysis may not affect the control of blood glucose.

Evidence suggests that intracellular angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) contributes to peritoneal fibrosis (PF) under high glucose (HG)-based dialysates. It is generally believed that AT2 antagonisticly affects AT1 function. The aim of this study was to explore whether AT2 activation is beneficial for attenuating human peritoneal mesothelial cell (HPMC) injury due to HG. We treated a HPMC line with HG to induce extracellular matrix (ECM) formation. AT2 was increased and blocked using CGP42112A and AT2 siRNA. Lipid deposition was detected, signaling molecules associated with lectin-like oxidized lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) and ECM proteins were evaluated by real-time PCR and western blot. The results showed that HG led to AT2 inhibition in HPMCs, inhibition of AT2 further aggravated the expression of ECM proteins, including α-smooth muscle actin, fibroblast specific protein-1 and collagen I, while AT2 decreased the expression of ECM proteins, even during HG stimulation. Interestingly, there was a parallel change in lipid accumulation and ECM formation when AT2 was increased or depressed. Moreover, AT2-mediated decreased ECM production was associated with reduced lipid accumulation in HPMCs and depended on the downregulation of LOX-1. Further analysis showed that HG increased oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) deposition in HPMCs concomitant with an enhanced expression of ECM components, whereas blocking LOX-1 reversed ox-LDL deposition even in the presence of HG. This effect was also accompanied by the remission of ECM accumulation. Our results suggested that AT2 prevented ECM formation in HG-stimulated HPMCs by ameliorating lipid via LOX-1 suppression.

High glucose (HG)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and oxidative stress play an important role in peritoneal fibrosis, which could be regulated by the nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway. This study aimed to investigate whether empagliflozin could inhibit HG-induced EMT and oxidative stress via activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. We used HG-based peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution in rats and HG in human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) to induce EMT in vivo and in vitro respectively. The peritoneal structure and function were evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin, Masson's trichrome staining, and the peritoneal equilibrium test. Oxidative stress was measured by assay kits. EMT was analyzed using immunohistochemistry and western blot. The PD rats showed decreased ultrafiltration capacity and increased levels of oxidative stress. Histopathological analysis revealed markedly peritoneal thickening, excessive collagen deposition, increased expression of α-SMA, Collagen-I, and Fibronectin, and decreased expression of Ecadherin. Empagliflozin significantly ameliorated the aforementioned changes. The protein expression levels of nuclear Nrf2 (N-Nrf2) and HO-1 increased in PD rats, which were further promoted by treatment with empagliflozin. In in vitro experiments, the EMT of HPMCs was induced with 60 mM glucose for 24 h and inhibited by empagliflozin. Empagliflozin suppressed oxidative stress and promoted the protein expression of N-Nrf2 and HO-1 in HGstimulated HPMCs, which was reversed by the Nrf2 inhibitor. In conclusion, empagliflozin exerted a protective effect against HG-induced EMT and suppressed oxidative stress in PMCs by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND: The accumulation of glucose degradation products (GDPs) during peritoneal dialysis (PD) can lead to immature angiogenesis in the peritoneum. However, the effect of GDPs on angiogenesis, at concentrations observed in dialysate effluent, has not been widely investigated. We do not know how the inflammation observed in PD-related peritonitis affects angiogenesis of the peritoneum. METHODS: Human umbilical vessel endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human umbilical aortic smooth muscle cells (HUASMC) were used to examine the response to the three main GDPs found in peritoneal dialysate (methylglyoxal (MGO), 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF). Supernatant from lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine macrophage cell lines (RAW 264.7 cells) were used to stimulate angiogenesis in the peritoneum. Changes in the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGFB) in HUVEC, and PDGF-receptor beta (PDGF-Rß) in HUASMC, were examined by real-time PCR, Western blot, and ELISA. RESULTS: In HUVECs, the expression of PDGFB mRNA and protein were decreased by exposure to MGO, 3-DG, and 5-HMF at concentrations observed in dialysate effluent. A subsequent decrease in secreted PDGF-BB was observed. In HUASMCs, MGO and 5-HMF increased the expression of VEGF-A mRNA and protein, while 5-HMF decreased the expression of PDGF-Rß. VEGF-A is upregulated, and PDGF-Rß is downregulated, by conditioned medium of LPS-stimulated macrophages in HUASMCs. CONCLUSIONS: The GDPs of PD effluent cause an imbalance of angiogenic factors in endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells that may lead to immature angiogenesis in the peritoneum.

BACKGROUND: Harmful glucose exposure and absorption remain major limitations of peritoneal dialysis (PD). We previously showed that inhibition of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 did not affect glucose transport during PD in rats. However, more recently, we found that phlorizin, a dual blocker of sodium glucose cotransporters 1 and 2, reduces glucose diffusion in PD. Therefore, either inhibiting sodium glucose cotransporter 1 or blocking facilitative glucose channels by phlorizin metabolite phloretin would reduce glucose transport in PD. METHODS: We tested a selective blocker of sodium glucose cotransporter 1, mizagliflozin, as well as phloretin, a nonselective blocker of facilitative glucose channels, in an anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rat model of PD. RESULTS: Intraperitoneal phloretin treatment reduced glucose absorption by >30% and resulted in a >50% higher ultrafiltration rate compared with control animals. Sodium removal and sodium clearances were similarly improved, whereas the amount of ultrafiltration per millimole of sodium removed did not differ. Mizagliflozin did not influence glucose transport or osmotic water transport. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, our results and previous results indicate that blockers of facilitative glucose channels may be a promising target for reducing glucose absorption and improving ultrafiltration efficiency in PD.

Clinical application of continuous flow peritoneal dialysis (CFPD) has been explored since the 1960s, but despite anticipated clinical benefits, CFPD has failed to gain a foothold in clinical practice, among others due to the typical use of two catheters (or a dual-lumen catheter) and large dialysate volumes required per treatment. Novel systems applying CFPD via the existing single-lumen catheter using rapid dialysate cycling may solve one of these hurdles. Novel on-demand peritoneal dialysate generation systems and sorbent-based peritoneal dialysate regeneration systems may considerably reduce the storage space for peritoneal dialysate and/or the required dialysate volume. This review provides an overview of current evidence on CFPD in vivo. The available (pre)clinical evidence on CFPD is limited to case reports/series with inherently nonuniform study procedures, or studies with a small sample size, short follow-up, and no hard endpoints. Small solute clearance appears to be higher in CFPD compared to conventional PD, in particular at dialysate flows ≥100 mL/min using two single-lumen catheters or a double-lumen catheter. Results of CFPD using rapid cycling via a single-lumen catheter are too preliminary to draw any conclusions. Continuous addition of glucose to dialysate with CFPD appears to be effective in reducing the maximum intraperitoneal glucose concentration while increasing ultrafiltration efficiency (mL/g absorbed glucose). Patient tolerance may be an issue since abdominal discomfort and sterile peritonitis were reported with continuous circulation of the peritoneal dialysate. Thus, well-designed clinical trials of longer duration and larger sample size, in particular applying CFPD via the existing catheter, are urgently required.

OBJECTIVE: Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) is commonly induced by bioincompatible dialysate exposure during peritoneal dialysis, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study aimed to investigate the roles of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) in PF pathogenesis. METHODS: Rat and cellular PF models were established by high glucose dialysate and lipopolysaccharide treatments. Serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, and glucose contents were detected by ELISA. Histological evaluation was done through H&E and Masson staining. GLUT1, PPARγ, and other protein expression were measured by qRT-PCR, western blotting, and IHC. PPARγ and GLUT1 subcellular distribution were detected using confocal microscopy. Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT and Edu staining. RESULTS: Serum creatinine, urea nitrogen and glucose, and PPARγ and GLUT1 expression in rat PF model were reduced by PPARγ agonists Rosiglitazone or 15d-PGJ2 and elevated by antagonist GW9662. Rosiglitazone or 15d-PGJ2 repressed and GW9662 aggravated peritoneal fibrosis in rat PF model. PPARγ and GLUT1 were mainly localized in nucleus and cytosols of peritoneal mesothelial cells, respectively, which were reduced in cellular PF model, enhanced by Rosiglitazone or 15d-PGJ2, and repressed by GW9662. TGF-ß and a-SMA expression was elevated in cellular PF model, which was inhibited by Rosiglitazone or 15d-PGJ2 and promoted by GW9662. PPARγ silencing reduced GLUT1, elevated a-SMA and TGF-b expression, and promoted peritoneal mesothelial cell proliferation, which were oppositely changed by PPARγ overexpression. CONCLUSION: PPARγ inhibited high glucose-induced peritoneal fibrosis progression through elevating GLUT1 expression and repressing peritoneal mesothelial cell proliferation.

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) is caused by epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation (EMT) in the peritoneum under high glucose (HG) conditions. The study aimed to explored the role of Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) in the regulation of EMT in human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs). METHODS: We used HG peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF) to induce in vivo PF in mice, and treated HPMCs with HG in vitro to stimulate EMT. RESULTS: In the mice, the higher the glucose concentration in the dialysate, the more obvious the peritoneal tissue thickening and the more that collagen was deposited. The in vitro study indicated that the expression of IGF-1R, α-SMA, vimentin was upregulated, while the expression of occludin, ZO-1, and E-cadherin was downregulated in HPMCs under HG and IGF-1R overexpression conditions. Conversely, the expression of IGF-1R, α-SMA, and vimentin was downregulated, while the expression of occludin, ZO-1, and E-cadherin was upregulated in IGF-1R-underexpressed HPMCs under HG conditions. The cell migration abilities were increased, while the cell adhesion abilities were reduced in HPMCs under HG and IGF-1R overexpression conditions. In contrast, cell migration abilities were reduced, while cell adhesion abilities were increased in IGF-1Runderexpressed HPMCs under HG conditions. CONCLUSIONS: Targeting at IGF-1R may provide novel insights into the prevention and treatment of PF.

The production of functional islet-like cells from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) is a promising strategy for the therapeutic use and disease modeling for type 1 diabetes. However, the production cost of islet-like cells is extremely high due to the use of expensive growth factors for differentiation. In a conventional culture method, growth factors and beneficial autocrine factors remaining in the culture medium are removed along with toxic metabolites during the medium change, and it limits the efficient utilization of those factors. In this study, we demonstrated that the dialysis suspension culture system is possible to reduce the usage of growth factors to one-third in the differentiation of hiPSC-derived endocrine progenitor cells to islet-like cells by reducing the medium change frequency with the refinement of the culture medium. Furthermore, the expression levels of hormone-secretion-related genes and the efficiency of differentiation were improved with the dialysis suspension culture system, possibly due to the retaining of autocrine factors. In addition, we confirmed several improvements required for the further study of the dialysis culture system. These findings showed the promising possibility of the dialysis suspension culture system for the low-cost production of islet-like cells.
