ABSTRACT
Peritoneal fibrosis, a common complication observed in long-term peritoneal dialysis patients, can gradually lead to ultrafiltration failure and the development of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. Although mechanisms of peritoneal fibrosis have been proposed, effective therapeutic options are unsatisfactory. Recently, several tyrosine kinase inhibitors have proven to be anti-fibrosis in rodent models. To assess the potential therapeutic effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on peritoneal fibrosis in the larger animal model, a novel porcine model of peritoneal fibrosis induced by 40â¯mM methylglyoxal in 2.5â¯% dialysate was established, and two different doses (20â¯mg/kg and 30â¯mg/kg) of sorafenib were given orally to evaluate their therapeutic efficacy in this study. Our results showed that sorafenib effectively reduced adhesions between peritoneal organs and significantly diminished the thickening of both the parietal and visceral peritoneum. Angiogenesis, vascular endothelial growth factor A production, myofibroblast infiltration, and decreased endothelial glycocalyx resulting from dialysate and methylglyoxal stimulations were also alleviated with sorafenib. However, therapeutic efficacy in ameliorating loss of mesothelial cells, restoring decreased ultrafiltration volume, and improving elevated small solutes transport rates was limited. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that sorafenib could potentially be used for peritoneal fibrosis treatment, but applying sorafenib alone might not be sufficient to fully rescue methylglyoxal-induced peritoneal defects.
