[PMID: 38770975 PMCID: PMC11110871 DOI: 10.1080/0886022x.2024.2353339] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Peritoneal dialysis (PD) serves as a vital renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). γ-Gamma-glutamyl transferase (γ-GGT) is a recognized predictor of oxidative stress and mortality. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of γ-GGT in predicting all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among PD patients. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted, enrolling 640 PD patients from a single center. The one-year, three-year, and five-year mortality rates for all causes and cardiovascular causes were evaluated. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed. RESULTS Within five years of initiating PD, the observed all-cause mortality rates at one, three, and five years were 11.72%, 16.09%, and 23.44%, while cardiovascular mortality rates were 2.97%, 7.34%, and 11.09%, respectively. Lower γ-GGT levels were associated with decreased all-cause mortality during one-, three-, and five-year follow-ups, along with reduced cardiovascular mortality in the first and third years, as indicated by Kaplan-Meier analysis on median γ-GGT groupings. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed significantly decreased hazard ratios (HRs) for one- to five-year all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in the lower γ-GGT group compared to higher groups. However, when sex differences were eliminated using separate tertile groupings for males and females, only the one- and three-year all-cause mortality rates demonstrated significantly reduced hazard ratios (HRs) in the lower γ-GGT groups. CONCLUSION This retrospective study suggests that γ-GGT levels have prognostic significance in predicting one- and three-year all-cause mortality among PD patients when accounting for sex differences.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a life maintaining treatment in patients with end-stage renal disease. Its chronic application leads to peritoneal mesothelial layer denudation and fibrotic transformation along with vascular activation of inflammatory pathways. The impact of different PD fluids (PDF) on mesothelial and endothelial cell function and repair mechanisms are not comprehensively described. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mesothelial (MeT-5A) and endothelial cells (EA.hy926) were cultured in 1:1 ratio with cell medium and different PDF (icodextrin-based, amino acid-based, and glucose-based). Cell adhesion, cell migration, and cell proliferation in 2D and spheroid formation and collagen gel contraction assays in 3D cell cultures were performed. RESULTS Cell proliferation and cell-mediated gel contraction were both significantly decreased in all conditions. 3D spheroid formation was significantly reduced with icodextrin and amino acid PDF, but unchanged with glucose PDF. Adhesion was significantly increased by amino acid PDF in mesothelial cells and decreased by icodextrin and amino acid PDF in endothelial cells. Migration capacity was significantly decreased in mesothelial cells by all three PDF, while endothelial cells remained unaffected. CONCLUSIONS In 3D phenotypes the effects of PDF are more uniform in both mesothelial and endothelial cells, mitigating spheroid formation and gel contraction. On the contrary, effects on 2D phenotypes are more uniform in the icodextrin and amino acid PDF as opposed to glucose ones and affect mesothelial cells more variably. 2D and 3D comparative assessments of PDF effects on the main peritoneal membrane cell barriers, the mesothelial and endothelial, could provide useful translational information for PD studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Hemodialysis headache (HDH) is a common complication of dialysis that negatively affects the patient's quality of life. The etiology and triggering factors of HDH are not fully understood. This study aims to assess the prevalence and characteristics of HDH among patients undergoing hemodialysis across multiple centers in China. Furthermore, we conducted a case-control study at one hospital to identify risk factors associated with HDH. METHODS The study consisted of two phases including a cross-sectional observational study and a case-control study. Participants underwent neurological examinations and interviews. Demographic and medical information were collected from both medical records and patient files. Serum creatinine, uric acid, urea, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), plasma osmolarity, glucose, C1q, and a variety of electrolytes including potassium, sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus were measured before and after dialysis. Blood pressure variables including systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse pressure (PP), and heart rate were monitored hourly. Serum levels of inflammatory factors, including tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-4, IL-6, and IL-10 were quantified using a double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS The prevalence of HDH was 37.7% (183/485). HDH was characterized by a bilateral tightening headache of moderate intensity and duration of <2 h, occurring in different locations. The case-control study included 50 patients with HDH and 84 control patients, pre-dialysis PP was found to be lower in the HDH group than in the control group (mean ± standard deviation 51.5 ± 18.2 vs. 67.9 ± 14.9, p = 0.027). Furthermore, the pre-dialysis serum complement C1q level was significantly higher for the HDH group than the control group (median and interquartile range 201.5 [179.0-231.5] vs. 189.0 [168.9-209.0], p = 0.021). Pre-dialysis PP was associated with 5.1% decreased odds of HDH (odds ratio [OR] = 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93-0.99, p = 0.026), body weight was associated with a 5.4% decreased risk of HDH (OR = 0.95; 95% CI, 0.91-0.99, p = 0.013), and pre-dialysis C1q levels increased the odds of HDH by 1.9% (OR = 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.03, p = 0.005). CONCLUSION Low PP, low body weight, and high blood complement C1q may be potential risk factors associated with HDH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite several advantages compared to haemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains an underused dialysis technique due to its high technique failure rate related to membrane fibrosis and peritonitis events. Previous work has suggested a harmful role for the complement system in these processes, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive examination in PD. METHODS Plasma levels of C1q, mannose-binding lectin (MBL), Properdin, Factor D, C3d/C3-ratio and soluble membrane attack complex (sC5b-9) were determined in PD patients (n = 55), HD patients (n = 41), non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients (n = 15) and healthy controls (n = 14). Additionally, C1q, MBL, Properdin, Factor D and sC5b-9 levels were assessed in the peritoneal dialysis fluid (PDF). In a subgroup, interleukin-6, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), myeloperoxidase (MPO) and elastase were measured in the PDF. RESULTS PD patients had significantly higher systemic levels of sC5b-9 compared to healthy controls, CKD and HD patients (p < 0.001). Plasma levels of C1q and C3d/C3-ratios were significantly associated with systemic sC5b-9 levels (p < 0.001). Locally, sC5b-9 was detected in the PDF of all PD patients, and levels were approximately 33% of those in matched plasma, but they did not correlate. In the PDF, only Properdin levels remained significantly associated with PDF sC5b-9 levels in multivariate analysis (p < 0.001). Additionally, PDF levels of sC5b-9 positively correlated with elastase, MPO and MMP-2 levels in the PDF (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our data reveal both systemic and local complement activation in PD patients. Furthermore, these two processes seem independent considering the involvement of different pathways and the lack of correlation.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. Studies of PD-related CV pathology in animal models are lacking despite the clinical importance. Here we introduce the phenotypic evaluation of a rat model of cardiorenal syndrome in response to chronic PD, complemented by a rich transcriptomic dataset detailing chronic PD-induced changes in left ventricle (LV) and kidney tissues. This study aims to determine how PD alters CV parameters and risk factors while identifying pathways for potential therapeutic targets. Sprague Dawley rats underwent Sham or 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6Nx) at 10 weeks of age. Six weeks later an abdominal dialysis catheter was placed in all rats before random assignment to Control or PD (3 daily 1-h exchanges) groups for 8 days. Renal and LV pathology and transcriptomic analysis was performed. The PD regimen reduced circulating levels of BUN in 5/6Nx, indicating dialysis efficacy. PD did not alter blood pressure or cardiovascular function in Sham or 5/6Nx rats, though it attenuated cardiac hypertrophy. Importantly PD increased serum triglycerides in 5/6Nx rats. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis revealed that PD induced numerous changed transcripts involved with inflammatory pathways, including neutrophil activation and atherosclerosis signaling. We have adapted a uremic rat model of chronic PD. Chronic PD induced transcriptomic changes related to inflammatory signaling that occur independent of 5/6Nx and augmented circulating triglycerides and predicted atherosclerosis signaling in 5/6Nx LV tissues. The changes are indicative of increased CV risk due to PD and highlight several pathways for potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
The membrane complement regulators (CRegs) CD46, CD55, and CD59 are highly expressed on human peritoneal mesothelial cells. However, how mesothelial CRegs change according to the peritoneal dialysis (PD) history of patients has remained unclear. We therefore examined longitudinal changes in CRegs in primary cultured mesothelial cells from PD patients (human peritoneal mesothelial cells; HPMCs) and examined which components of PD fluid (PDF) affect CRegs in vitro. We measured levels of soluble C5b-9 in overnight-dwelling PDF in PD patients and also evaluated changes in CRegs expression on HPMCs collected from PDF using flow cytometry and polymerase chain reaction at a 1-year interval of PD therapy. We also evaluated changes in CReg expressions with stimulation by each component of PDF (glucose, lactic acid and pH) using the Met5A human mesothelial cell line. Levels of sC5b-9 in PDF decreased significantly during 1 year, while expressions of CD46 and CD59 proteins and mRNAs increased significantly in HPMCs during 1 year. Analyzing Met-5A cells, we observed that expressions of the three CRegs were increased by glucose and lactic acid in a concentration-dependent manner, but conversely that expressions of CRegs were decreased by lower pH stimulation. History of PD might influence expression of CRegs by HPMCs through properties of PDF such as glucose, lactic acid, and pH. These results suggest that mesothelial cells may alter expression of CRegs for the purpose of protecting the peritoneum and the presence of PDF might affect peritoneal homeostasis associated with the complement system.

Abstract
Used hemodialysis membranes (HD-M) are a valuable reservoir of biological information. Proteins bind to HD-M, but whether this process depends on the type of membrane or patient factors or selectively affects specific protein classes has not been adequately elucidated. State-of-the-art proteomics techniques are capable of identifying and quantifying this therapy-specific subproteome to enable the analysis of disease- or membrane-induced pathophysiologies. We demonstrate the feasibility of the deep proteomic characterization of the extracorporeal proteome adsorbed to HD-M. A shotgun proteomics approach using nano-flow liquid chromatography coupled to mass-spectrometry identified 1648 unique proteins eluted by a chaotropic buffer from the HD-M of eight patients. In total, 995 proteins were present in all eluates; a more stringent approach showed that a core proteome of 310 proteins could be identified independently in all samples. Stability of the dialyzer proteome was demonstrated by a >90% re-identification rate on longitudinal samples of a single patient. The core proteome showed an overrepresentation of pathways of hemostasis and the immune system, and showed differences in membrane materials (polysulfone vs. helixone). This study demonstrates that optimized conditions combined with high-performance proteomics enable the in-depth exploration of the subproteome bound to HD-M, yielding a stable core proteome that can be exploited to study patient-specific factors and improve hemodialysis therapy.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. But the relationship between regular PD and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) remains controversial. The possible risk factors are not fully elucidated. This study aims to investigate the possible factors affecting the risk of MACE estimated by high ankle-brachial index (ABI) in PD patients. A total of 243 patients were enrolled and divided into chronic kidney diseases (CKD) stage 1, non-dialyzed CKD stages 2–5, and PD groups. The prevalence of high ABI, indicating increased MACE, was elevated with CKD progression but not further increased in PD patients. Systolic blood pressure was closely correlated with high ABI in non-dialyzed CKD patients (β = 0.059, P = 0.001). But in PD patients, serum calcium had a crucial effect on high ABI (β = −9.853, P < 0.001). Additionally, PD patients with high ABI tended to dialyze inadequately (Kt/V <1.7) compared to those with normal ABI (29.0 vs. 13.3%, P = 0.031). Further mediation analysis revealed that ~86.2% of the relationship between Kt/V and high ABI was mediated by serum calcium in PD patients (mediation effect = 86.2%, ab = −0.220, 95% CI: −0.381 to −0.059, P = 0.008), especially in those starting PD before 55 years of age and with normal body mass index. This present study indicated that improvement of PD adequacy by maintaining calcium balance might be a promising method to reduce the risk of MACE estimated by high ABI for PD patients.

Proteome-Wide Differential Effects of Peritoneal Dialysis Fluid Properties in an In Vitro Human Endothelial Cell Model. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23148010.

Abstract
To replace kidney function, peritoneal dialysis (PD) utilizes hyperosmotic PD fluids with specific physico-chemical properties. Their composition induces progressive damage of the peritoneum, leading to vasculopathies, decline of membrane function, and PD technique failure. Clinically used PD fluids differ in their composition but still remain bioincompatible. We mapped the molecular pathomechanisms in human endothelial cells induced by the different characteristics of widely used PD fluids by proteomics. Of 7894 identified proteins, 3871 were regulated at least by 1 and 49 by all tested PD fluids. The latter subset was enriched for cell junction-associated proteins. The different PD fluids individually perturbed proteins commonly related to cell stress, survival, and immune function pathways. Modeling two major bioincompatibility factors of PD fluids, acidosis, and glucose degradation products (GDPs) revealed distinct effects on endothelial cell function and regulation of cellular stress responses. Proteins and pathways most strongly affected were members of the oxidative stress response. Addition of the antioxidant and cytoprotective additive, alanyl-glutamine (AlaGln), to PD fluids led to upregulation of thioredoxin reductase-1, an antioxidant protein, potentially explaining the cytoprotective effect of AlaGln. In conclusion, we mapped out the molecular response of endothelial cells to PD fluids, and provided new evidence for their specific pathomechanisms, crucial for improvement of PD therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The peritoneum, pleura, and pericardium are yet understudied multicellular systems where mesothelial cells (MCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) are in close proximity. Crosstalk between these cell types likely plays role in molecular transport, immunological reactions, and metabolic processes in health, disease, and therapeutic intervention. AREAS COVERED In this review, we discuss recent proteomic efforts to characterize the crosstalk between MC and EC. We describe the proteomic methods necessary for investigation of crosstalk between MC and EC, as well as the in-vitro models that can be employed. Potential experimental approaches range from conditioned medium, via co-culture on semi-permeable membranes, to 3D cell culture based organoid models. While the biological and clinical relevance of the models may increase with their ability to mimic close cell communication, the practicality of these complex experiments corresponds vice versa, making standardization more difficult and expensive. EXPERT OPINION Currently, data and reports on mesothelial-to-endothelial crosstalk are still very scarce. In our opinion, the in-vitro model using semi-permeable cell culture inserts will allow to establish a basic understanding of cellular crosstalk that may occur between those cell types. Later-on, more sophisticated 3D cell cultures may be better able to simulate the transport dynamics within the peritoneal membrane.

Proteomics and Extracellular Vesicles as Novel Biomarker Sources in Peritoneal Dialysis in Children. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23105655.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) represents the dialysis modality of choice for pediatric patients with end-stage kidney disease. Indeed, compared with hemodialysis (HD), it offers many advantages, including more flexibility, reduction of the risk of hospital-acquired infections, preservation of residual kidney function, and a better quality of life. However, despite these positive aspects, PD may be associated with several long-term complications that may impair both patient's general health and PD adequacy. In this view, chronic inflammation, caused by different factors, has a detrimental impact on the structure and function of the peritoneal membrane, leading to sclerosis and consequent PD failure both in adults and children. Although several studies investigated the complex pathogenic pathways underlying peritoneal membrane alterations, these processes remain still to explore. Understanding these mechanisms may provide novel approaches to improve the clinical outcome of pediatric PD patients through the identification of subjects at high risk of complications and the implementation of personalized interventions. In this review, we discuss the main experimental and clinical experiences exploring the potentiality of the proteomic analysis of peritoneal fluids and extracellular vesicles as a source of novel biomarkers in pediatric peritoneal dialysis.

Abstract
Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer from inflammation and reactive metabolite-induced stress, which massively accelerates tissue and vascular aging. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the preferred dialysis mode in children, but currently used PD fluids contain far supraphysiological glucose concentrations for fluid and toxin removal and glucose degradation products (GDP). While the peritoneal membrane of children with CKD G5 exhibits only minor alterations, PD fluids trigger numerous molecular cascades resulting in major peritoneal membrane inflammation, hypervascularization, and fibrosis, with distinct molecular and morphological patterns depending on the GDP content of the PD fluid used. PD further aggravates systemic vascular disease. The systemic vascular aging process is particularly pronounced when PD fluids with high GDP concentrations are used. GDP induce endothelial junction disintegration, apoptosis, fibrosis, and intima thickening. This review gives an overview on the molecular mechanisms of peritoneal and vascular transformation and strategies to improve peritoneal and vascular health in patients on PD.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one of the leading causes for increased morbidity and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment option for CKD G5. Improved perioperative and postoperative care, personalized immunosuppressive regimes, and refined matching procedures of kidney transplants improves cardiovascular health in the early posttransplant period. However, the long-term burden of CVD is considerable. Previously underrecognized, the role of the complement system alongside innate immunity, inflammaging, structural changes in the glomerular filtration barrier and early vascular ageing also seem to play an important role in the posttransplant management. This review provides up-to-date knowledge on these pathways that may influence the cardiovascular and renal continuum and identifies potential targets for future therapies. Arterial destiffening strategies and the applicability of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and their role in cardiovascular health after kidney transplantation are also addressed.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one therapeutic option for patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Molecular profiling of samples from PD patients using different Omics technologies has led to the discovery of dysregulated molecular processes due to PD treatment in recent years. In particular, a number of transcriptomics (TX) datasets are currently available in the public domain in the context of PD. We set out to perform a meta-analysis of TX datasets to identify dysregulated receptor-ligand interactions in the context of PD-associated complications. We consolidated transcriptomics profiles from twelve untargeted genome-wide gene expression studies focusing on human cell cultures or samples from human PD patients. Gene set enrichment analysis was used to identify enriched biological processes. Receptor-ligand interactions were identified using data from CellPhoneDB. We identified 2591 unique differentially expressed genes in the twelve PD studies. Key enriched biological processes included angiogenesis, cell adhesion, extracellular matrix organization, and inflammatory response. We identified 70 receptor-ligand interaction pairs, with both interaction partners being dysregulated on the transcriptional level in one of the investigated tissues in the context of PD. Novel receptor-ligand interactions without prior annotation in the context of PD included BMPR2-GDF6, FZD4-WNT7B, ACKR2-CCL2, or the binding of EPGN and EREG to the EGFR, as well as the binding of SEMA6D to the receptors KDR and TYROBP. In summary, we have consolidated human transcriptomics datasets from twelve studies in the context of PD and identified sets of novel receptor-ligand pairs being dysregulated in the context of PD that warrant investigation in future functional studies.

Proteomic profile of mesothelial exosomes isolated from peritoneal dialysis effluent of children with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Sci Rep 2021; 11:20807.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the worldwide recognized preferred dialysis treatment for children affected by end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). However, due to the unphysiological composition of PD fluids, the peritoneal membrane (PM) of these patients may undergo structural and functional alterations, which may cause fibrosis. Several factors may accelerate this process and primary kidney disease may have a causative role. In particular, patients affected by steroid resistant primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a rare glomerular disease leading to nephrotic syndrome and ESKD, seem more prone to develop peritoneal fibrosis. The mechanism causing this predisposition is still unrecognized. To better define this condition, we carried out, for the first time, a new comprehensive comparative proteomic mass spectrometry analysis of mesothelial exosomes from peritoneal dialysis effluent (PDE) of 6 pediatric patients with focal segmental glomerular sclerosis (FSGS) versus 6 patients affected by other primary renal diseases (No FSGS). Our omic study demonstrated that, despite the high overlap in the protein milieu between the two study groups, machine learning allowed to identify a core list of 40 proteins, with ANXA13 as most promising potential biomarker, to distinguish, in our patient population, peritoneal dialysis effluent exosomes of FSGS from No FSGS patients (with 100% accuracy). Additionally, the Weight Gene Co-expression Network Analysis algorithm identified 17 proteins, with PTP4A1 as the most statistically significant biomarker associated to PD vintage and decreased PM function. Altogether, our data suggest that mesothelial cells of FSGS patients are more prone to activate a pro-fibrotic machinery. The role of the proposed biomarkers in the PM pathology deserves further investigation. Our results need further investigations in a larger population to corroborate these findings and investigate a possible increased risk of PM loss of function or development of encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis in FSGS patients, thus to eventually carry out changes in PD treatment and management or implement new solutions.

Abstract
Life-saving renal replacement therapy by peritoneal dialysis (PD) is limited in use and duration by progressive impairment of peritoneal membrane integrity and homeostasis. Preservation of peritoneal membrane integrity during chronic PD remains an urgent but long unmet medical need. PD therapy failure results from peritoneal fibrosis and angiogenesis caused by hypertonic PD fluid (PDF)-induced mesothelial cytotoxicity. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms involved are incompletely understood, limiting identification of therapeutic targets. We report that addition of lithium chloride (LiCl) to PDF is a translatable intervention to counteract PDF-induced mesothelial cell death, peritoneal membrane fibrosis, and angiogenesis. LiCl improved mesothelial cell survival in a dose-dependent manner. Combined transcriptomic and proteomic characterization of icodextrin-based PDF-induced mesothelial cell injury identified αB-crystallin as the mesothelial cell protein most consistently counter-regulated by LiCl. In vitro and in vivo overexpression of αB-crystallin triggered a fibrotic phenotype and PDF-like up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD31-positive cells, and TGF-β-independent activation of TGF-β-regulated targets. In contrast, αB-crystallin knockdown decreased VEGF expression and early mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition. LiCl reduced VEGF release and counteracted fibrosis- and angiogenesis-associated processes. αB-crystallin in patient-derived mesothelial cells was specifically up-regulated in response to PDF and increased in peritoneal mesothelial cells from biopsies from pediatric patients undergoing PD, correlating with markers of angiogenesis and fibrosis. LiCl-supplemented PDF promoted morphological preservation of mesothelial cells and the submesothelial zone in a mouse model of chronic PD. Thus, repurposing LiCl as a cytoprotective PDF additive may offer a translatable therapeutic strategy to combat peritoneal membrane deterioration during PD therapy.

Abstract
Peritonitis, due to a fungal or bacterial infection, leads to injury of the peritoneal lining and thereby forms a hazard for the long-term success of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and remains a lethal complication in patients with PD. This study investigated whether C1 inhibitor (C1-INH) could protect against the progression of peritoneal injuries with five daily administrations of zymosan after mechanical scraping of the rat peritoneum to mimic fungal peritonitis. Severe peritoneal injuries were seen in this model, accompanied by fibrinogen/fibrin exudation and peritoneal deposition of complement activation products such as activated C3 and C5b-9. However, intraperitoneal injection of C1-INH decreased peritoneal depositions of activated C3 and C5b-9, ameliorated peritoneal thickening, reduced the influx of inflammatory cells, and prevented the production of peritoneal fibrous layers with both one and two doses of C1-INH each day. Our results suggest that C1-INH might be useful to protect against peritoneal injuries after causes of peritonitis such as fungal infection. This clinically available agent may thus help extend the duration of PD.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Peritoneal injuries associated with peritonitis comprise an important issue to prevent long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) therapy. Here, we showed that C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), as an anticomplement agent, protected against peritoneal injuries in a peritonitis animal model related to fungal infection. Therefore, C1-INH might be useful to protect against peritoneal injuries after peritonitis due to fungal infection. This clinically available agent may thus help extend the duration of PD.

Soluble CD59 in peritoneal dialysis: a potential biomarker for peritoneal membrane function. J Nephrol 2020; 34:801-810. [PMID: 33306183 PMCID: PMC8192357 DOI: 10.1007/s40620-020-00934-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Various studies have reported the importance of complement regulators in preventing mesothelial damage during peritoneal dialysis (PD). Its assessment, however, is limited in clinical practice due to the lack of easy access to the peritoneal membrane. Recently, a soluble form of the complement regulatory protein CD59 (sCD59) has been described. We therefore aimed to investigate the role of sCD59 in PD. METHODS Plasma sCD59 was measured in 48 PD patients, 41 hemodialysis patients, 15 non-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease and 14 healthy controls by ELISA (Hycult; HK374-02). Additionally, sCD59 and sC5b-9 were assessed in the peritoneal dialysate. RESULTS sCD59 and sC5b-9 were detectable in the peritoneal dialysate of all patients, and marginally correlated (r = 0.27, P = 0.06). Plasma sCD59 levels were significantly higher in PD patients than in patients with chronic kidney disease and healthy controls, but did not differ from hemodialysis patients. During follow-up, 19% of PD patients developed peritoneal membrane failure and 27% of PD patients developed loss of residual renal function. In adjusted models, increased sCD59 levels in the dialysate (HR 3.44, 95% CI 1.04-11.40, P = 0.04) and in plasma (HR 1.08, 95% CI 1.01-1.17, P = 0.04) were independently associated with the occurrence of peritoneal membrane failure. Higher plasma levels of sCD59 were also associated with loss of residual renal function (HR 1.10, 95% CI 1.04-1.17, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that sCD59 has potential as a biomarker to predict peritoneal membrane function and loss of residual renal function in PD, thereby offering a tool to improve patient management.

SGLT2 Inhibition by Intraperitoneal Dapagliflozin Mitigates Peritoneal Fibrosis and Ultrafiltration Failure in a Mouse Model of Chronic Peritoneal Exposure to High-Glucose Dialysate. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10111573. [PMID: 33228017 PMCID: PMC7699342 DOI: 10.3390/biom10111573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Revised: 11/15/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is limited by glucose-mediated peritoneal membrane (PM) fibrosis, angiogenesis, and ultrafiltration failure. Influencing PM integrity by pharmacologically targeting sodium-dependent glucose transporter (SGLT)-mediated glucose uptake has not been studied. In this study, wildtype C57Bl/6N mice were treated with high-glucose dialysate via an intraperitoneal catheter, with or without addition of selective SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin. PM structural changes, ultrafiltration capacity, and peritoneal equilibration testing (PET) status for glucose, urea, and creatinine were analyzed. Expression of SGLT and facilitative glucose transporters (GLUT) was analyzed by real-time PCR, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry. Peritoneal effluents were analyzed for cellular and cytokine composition. We found that peritoneal SGLT2 was expressed in mesothelial cells and in skeletal muscle. Dapagliflozin significantly reduced effluent transforming growth factor (TGF-β) concentrations, peritoneal thickening, and fibrosis, as well as microvessel density, resulting in improved ultrafiltration, despite the fact that it did not affect development of high-glucose transporter status. In vitro, dapagliflozin reduced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 release under high-glucose conditions in human and murine peritoneal mesothelial cells. Proinflammatory cytokine release in macrophages was reduced only when cultured in high-glucose conditions with an additional inflammatory stimulus. In summary, dapagliflozin improved structural and functional peritoneal health in the context of high-glucose PD.

Increased miR-7641 Levels in Peritoneal Hyalinizing Vasculopathy in Long-Term Peritoneal Dialysis Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21165824.

Abstract
Peritoneal hyalinizing vasculopathy (PHV) represents the cornerstone of long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD), and especially characterizes patients associated with encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis. However, the mechanisms of PHV development remain unknown. A cross sectional study was performed in 100 non-selected peritoneal biopsies of PD patients. Clinical data were collected and lesions were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. In selected biopsies a microRNA (miRNA)-sequencing analysis was performed. Only fifteen patients (15%) showed PHV at different degrees. PHV prevalence was significantly lower among patients using PD fluids containing low glucose degradation products (GDP) (5.9% vs. 24.5%), angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) (7.5% vs. 23.4%), statins (6.5% vs. 22.6%) or presenting residual renal function, suggesting the existence of several PHV protective factors. Peritoneal biopsies from PHV samples showed loss of endothelial markers and induction of mesenchymal proteins, associated with collagen IV accumulation and wide reduplication of the basement membrane. Moreover, co-expression of endothelial and mesenchymal markers, as well as TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling activation were found in PHV biopsies. These findings suggest that an endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) process was taking place. Additionally, significantly higher levels of miR-7641 were observed in severe PHV compared to non-PHV peritoneal biopsies. Peritoneal damage by GDPs induce miRNA deregulation and an EndMT process in submesothelial vessels, which could contribute to collagen IV accumulation and PHV.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an established home care, cost-effective renal replacement therapy (RRT), which offers several advantages over the most used dialysis modality, hemodialysis. Despite its potential benefits, however, PD is an under-prescribed method of treating uremic patients. Infectious complications (primarily peritonitis) and bio-incompatibility of PD solutions are the main contributors to PD drop-out, due to their potential for altering the functional and anatomical integrity of the peritoneal membrane. To improve the clinical outcome of PD, there is a need for biomarkers to identify patients at risk of PD-related complications and to guide personalized interventions. Several recent studies have shown that proteomic investigation may be a powerful tool in the prediction, early diagnosis, prognostic assessment, and therapeutic monitoring of patients on PD. Indeed, analysis of the proteome present in PD effluent has uncovered several proteins involved in inflammation and pro-fibrotic insult, in encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, or even in detecting early changes before any measurable modifications occur in the traditional clinical parameters used to evaluate PD efficacy. We here review the proteomic studies conducted thus far, addressing the potential use of such omics methodology in identifying potential new biomarkers of the peritoneal membrane welfare in relation to dialytic prescription and adequacy.

Abstract
One of the main limitations to successful long-term use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a renal replacement therapy is the harmful effects of PD solutions to the structure and function of the peritoneal membrane (PM). In PD, the PM serves as a semipermeable membrane that, due to exposure to PD solutions, undergoes structural alterations, including peritoneal fibrosis, vasculopathy, and neoangiogenesis. In recent decades, oxidative stress (OS) has emerged as a novel risk factor for mortality and cardiovascular disease in PD patients. Moreover, it has become evident that OS plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and development of the chronic, progressive injury of the PM. In this review, we aimed to present several aspects of OS in PD patients, including the pathophysiologic effects on the PM, clinical implications, and possible therapeutic antioxidant strategies that might protect the integrity of PM during PD therapy.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) accounts for approximately 10% of the dialysis population worldwide. Major concern limiting long-term PD success is the loss of the peritoneal membrane function after prolonged exposure to dialysis solutions. The complement system is a major component of the innate immune system, which provides a first-line defense against pathogens. Uncontrolled activation of the complement system directly contributes to the pathophysiology of rare and common kidney diseases and to a growing number of nonrenal diseases. Here, we review currently available evidence of complement activation in patients treated with PD and its association with structural and functional alterations of the peritoneal membrane. Mainly, evidence point toward a local, intraperitoneal, production of complement molecules in response to PD exposure. Dialysis fluids, particularly glucose, play a role in complement activation and dysregulation leading to untoward PD-related pathophysiological processes such as peritoneal fibrosis, angiogenesis, and vasculopathy and, perhaps, encapsulating peritoneal fibrosis development. These findings could lead to further development and use of anticomplement therapeutics in PD patients to prevent membrane damage.

Abstract
The role of complement system in heart diseases is controversial. Besides, the mechanisms by which complement components participate in cardiac remodeling (CR) and heart failure during uremia are unclear. In this study, 5/6 nephrectomy was performed to adult mice to establish the uremic model and CR deteriorated over the course of uremia. Although complement pathways were not further activated over the course of the disease, soluble complement factor B (CFB) was upregulated at post-nephrectomy day 90 (PNx90) compared with PNx30. Further, CFB notably deteriorated CR in uremic mice but this effect was reversed by depletion of macrophages with liposomal clodronate. In vivo and in vitro CFB upregulated arginase 1 (ARG1) expression, increased ARG1 enzymatic activity, and stimulated the syntheses of ornithine, leading to polyamine overproduction in macrophages. Putrescine, an important polyamine, promoted cardiac fibroblast proliferation and collagen production, resulting in progressive CR. In vivo the inhibition of ARG1 activity with Nω -hydroxyl-l-arginine remarkably improved the general survival rates, inhibited the infiltration of cardiac fibroblasts, and alleviated progression of CR in uremic mice. Taken together, the CFB-ARG1-putrescine axis is related to progression of CR and ARG1 hyperactivity in macrophages may provide a novel therapeutic target against the heart injury in uremia.

Abstract
Background:Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is complicated by a high rate of adverse events that might be attributed to cytotoxicity of currently used PD fluids. However, clinical development of novel PD fluids is virtually non-existent, in part due to difficulties in recruiting sufficiently large populations for adequately powered trials. The aim of this study is to understand the potential impact of introducing composite outcomes on clinical trial feasibility in PD.Methods:A composite outcome "major adverse peritoneal events (MAPE)" was designed to combine clinically relevant complications of PD, such as (1) technical failure (cause-specific for peritonitis and/or insufficient dialysis), (2) peritonitis, and (3) peritoneal membrane deterioration. Incidence rates of individual endpoints were obtained from the literature and expert panel estimations, and population sizes were computed based on Chi-square test for adequately powered confirmatory randomized controlled clinical trials with 2 parallel arms.Results:Incidence rates for technical failure, peritonitis, and peritoneal membrane deterioration were estimated at 15%, 50%, and 23%, respectively, at 2 years follow-up, with adequate agreement between the literature and expert opinion. Assuming that a given intervention reduces adverse outcomes by 30%, an adequately powered clinical trial needs to recruit up to 1,720 patients when studying individual outcomes. Combining endpoints increases power in simulated trials despite considerable overlap, and the composite outcome MAPE reduces the required population to 202 patients aiming for 80% power.Conclusion:Introduction of the composite outcome MAPE, covering relevant major adverse peritoneal events, may improve the feasibility of clinical trials to adequately test novel PD fluids.

Abstract
The effect of peritoneal dialysates with low-glucose degradation products on peritoneal membrane morphology is largely unknown, with functional relevancy predominantly derived from experimental studies. To investigate this, we performed automated quantitative histomorphometry and molecular analyses on 256 standardized peritoneal and 172 omental specimens from 56 children with normal renal function, 90 children with end-stage kidney disease at time of catheter insertion, and 82 children undergoing peritoneal dialysis using dialysates with low-glucose degradation products. Follow-up biopsies were obtained from 24 children after a median peritoneal dialysis of 13 months. Prior to dialysis, mild parietal peritoneal inflammation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and vasculopathy were present. After up to six and 12 months of peritoneal dialysis, blood microvessel density was 110 and 93% higher, endothelial surface area per peritoneal volume 137 and 95% greater, and submesothelial thickness 23 and 58% greater, respectively. Subsequent peritoneal changes were less pronounced. Mesothelial cell coverage was lower and vasculopathy advanced, whereas lymphatic vessel density was unchanged. Morphological changes were accompanied by early fibroblast activation, leukocyte and macrophage infiltration, diffuse podoplanin presence, epithelial mesenchymal transdifferentiation, and by increased proangiogenic and profibrotic cytokine abundance. These transformative changes were confirmed by intraindividual comparisons. Peritoneal microvascular density correlated with peritoneal small-molecular transport function by uni- and multivariate analysis. Thus, in children on peritoneal dialysis neutral pH dialysates containing low-glucose degradation products induce early peritoneal inflammation, fibroblast activation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and marked angiogenesis, which determines the PD membrane transport function.

The Peritoneal Surface Proteome in a Model of Chronic Peritoneal Dialysis Reveals Mechanisms of Membrane Damage and Preservation. Front Physiol 2019; 10:472. [PMID: 31156443 PMCID: PMC6530346 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2019.00472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2018] [Accepted: 04/04/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids are cytotoxic to the peritoneum. Recent studies have shown that alanyl-glutamine (AlaGln) modulates the cellular stress response, improves mesothelial cell survival, reduces submesothelial thickening in experimental models of PD, and in clinical studies improves PD effluent cell stress and immune responses. However, the mechanisms of AlaGln-mediated membrane protection are not yet fully understood. Here, we explore those mechanisms through application of a novel proteomics approach in a clinically relevant in vivo model in rats. Experimental PD was performed for 5 weeks using conventional single-chamber bag (SCB) or neutral dual-chamber bag (DCB), PD fluid (PDF), with or without AlaGln supplementation, via a surgically implanted catheter. Rats subjected to a single dwell without catheter implantation served as controls. The peritoneal surface proteome was directly harvested by detergent extraction and subjected to proteomic analysis by two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DiGE) with protein identification by mass spectrometry. An integrated bioinformatic approach was applied to identify proteins significantly affected by the treatments despite biological variation and interfering high abundance proteins. From 505 of 744 common spots on 59 gels, 222 unique proteins were identified. Using UniProt database information, proteins were assigned either as high abundance plasma proteins, or as cellular proteins. Statistical analysis employed an adapted workflow from RNA-sequencing, the trimmed mean of M-values (TMM) for normalization, and a mixed model for computational identification of significantly differentially abundant proteins. The most prominently enriched pathways after 5 weeks chronic treatment with SCB or DCB, PDFs belonged to clusters reflecting tissue damage and cell differentiation by cytoskeletal reorganization, immune responses, altered metabolism, and oxidative stress and redox homeostasis. Although the AlaGln effect was not as prominent, associated enriched pathways showed mostly regression to control or patterns opposite that of the PDF effect. Our study describes the novel peritoneal surface proteome through combined proteomic and bioinformatic analyses, and assesses changes elicited by chronic experimental PD. The biological processes so identified promise to link molecular mechanisms of membrane damage and protection in the in vivo rat model to pathomechanisms and cytoprotective effects observed in vitro and in clinical PD.

Dimethylaminomicheliolide ameliorates peritoneal fibrosis through the activation of autophagy. J Mol Med (Berl) 2019; 97:659-674. [PMID: 30854581 DOI: 10.1007/s00109-019-01757-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2018] [Revised: 01/22/2019] [Accepted: 02/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) is a major cause of ultrafiltration failure in patients receiving long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD), and effective prevention and treatment strategies are urgently needed. The dimethylamino Michael adduct of a natural product-derived micheliolide (MCL), dimethylaminomicheliolide (DMAMCL), is a new lead compound with the advantages of high stability, low toxicity, and sustainable release of MCL. This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of DMAMCL against PD-related PF and the mechanisms involved. In this study, we found that DMAMCL significantly decreased PD-induced extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition in a mouse model of PD, and that delayed DMAMCL administration halted the progression of PF in an established PD model. In addition, rapamycin administration induced autophagy and significantly ameliorated PF. The protective effect of DMAMCL against PF was weakened when co-administered with DMAMCL and 3-methyladenine. Inducing autophagy by rapamycin decreased transforming growth factor-β1-induced ECM accumulation in vitro. MCL promoted autophagy and inhibited ECM deposition. The anti-fibrotic effect of MCL was eliminated when knocking down ATG7 by siRNA. Taken together, DMAMCL might prevent against PF through activating autophagy. The anti-fibrotic effect of DMAMCL may be a new candidate for the treatment in patients with PD-related PF. KEY MESSAGES: Dimethylaminomicheliolide, the pro-drug of micheliolide, protects against peritoneal fibrosis in a mouse peritoneal dialysis model. Micheliolide inhibits TGF-β1-induced extracellular matrix accumulation in vitro. Autophagy plays a protective role against peritoneal fibrosis. The antifibrogenic effect of dimethylaminomicheliolide may be due to the activation of autophagy.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a cost-effective, home-based therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease achieving similar outcome as compared to hemodialysis. Still, a minority of patients only receive PD. To a significant extend, this discrepancy is explained by major limitations regarding PD efficiency and sustainability. Due to highly unphysiological composition of PD fluids, the peritoneal membrane undergoes rapid morphological and long-term functional alterations, which limit the treatment and contribute to adverse patient outcome. This review is focused on the peritoneal membrane ultrastructure and its transformation in patients with kidney disease and chronic PD, underlying molecular mechanisms, and potential systemic sequelae. Current knowledge on the impact of conventional and second-generation PD fluids is described; novel strategies and innovative PD fluid types are discussed.

Abstract
Significant advances have lead to a greater understanding of the role of the complement system within nephrology. The success of the first clinically approved complement inhibitor has created renewed appreciation of complement-targeting therapeutics. Several clinical trials are currently underway to evaluate the therapeutic potential of complement inhibition in renal diseases and kidney transplantation. Although, complement has been known to be activated during dialysis for over four decades, this area of research has been neglected in recent years. Despite significant progress in biocompatibility of hemodialysis (HD) membranes and peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids, complement activation remains an undesired effect and relevant issue. Short-term effects of complement activation include promoting inflammation and coagulation. In addition, long-term complications of dialysis, such as infection, fibrosis and cardiovascular events, are linked to the complement system. These results suggest that interventions targeting the complement system in dialysis could improve biocompatibility, dialysis efficacy, and long-term outcome. Combined with the clinical availability to safely target complement in patients, the question is not if we should inhibit complement in dialysis, but when and how. The purpose of this review is to summarize previous findings and provide a comprehensive overview of the role of the complement system in both HD and PD.
