Objective To assess the in vitro synthesis rate of hyaluronan (HA) by human peritoneal mesothelial cells and peritoneal fibroblasts in the presence of effluent dialysate from continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients. Methods We used primary cultures of human peritoneal mesothelial cells and peritoneal fibroblasts from nonuremic patients to study the effect of interleukin-1 β (11–1 β) and pooled effluent dialysate, from noninfected and infected CAPD patients, on the synthesis of HA by the studied cells. We also tested the effect of the exogenous HA on the synthesis rate of that glycosaminoglycan. We studied the correlation between HA concentration in effluent dialysate and the stimulatory effect of that solution on in vitro synthesis of HA by mesothelium. Results Peritoneal fibroblasts produce more HA than mesothelial cells. Noninfected effluent dialysates or dialysates from CAPD patients with peritonitis stimulate synthesis of HA by mesothelial cells and fibroblasts. Interleukin-1 β has a stimulating effect, which was synergistic with effluent dialysates, on the synthesis of HA by mesothelium and peritoneal fibroblasts. A weak correlation was demonstrated between the level of HA in effluent dialysate and the stimulatory effect of that dialysate on in vitro synthesis of HA by mesothelial cells. Conclusions Peritoneal fibroblasts are a more potent source of HA than are mesothelial cells, but probably the latter are the main source of HA in drained dialysate. Although effluent dialysates contain factors that stimulate the production of HA by mesothelium, there is weak correlation between that stimulatory effect and the actual HA concentration in the dialysate, which, in some patients, might suggest low “responsiveness” of the membrane.

To investigate whether the glucose uptake (GU) of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) is mediated by glucose transporters and whether this uptake is influenced by interleukin 1–β (IL-1β), we measured 2-deoxy-(3H)-GU of HPMC in vitro, after exposing the cells for different times (two and 12 hours) to increasing concentrations (0.1, 1.0, and 2.0 ng/mL) of IL-1 β. To exclude a noncarrier-mediated transport, GU was also tested in the presence of cytochalasin B. All experiments were performed in triplicate in the cells of two donors. Cytochalasin B inhibits GU of HPMC almost completely. GU of HPMC is not stimulated by insulin. GU is stimulated by IL-1 β in a dose-dependent manner. These data indicate a GU of HPMC, which is mediated by a glucose transporter and stimulated by IL-1 β. The increased uptake of glucose from the dialysate In patients with peritonitis may be mediated by a (cytokineinduced) increased activity of HPMC glucose transporters.

Objective Previous studies have shown that decorin and biglycan account for over 70% of the proteoglycans (PGs) synthesized by human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs). Since these PGs are involved in the control of cell growth, cell differentiation, and matrix assembly, we investigated their turnover in cultured HPMCs. Methods Confluent HPMCs were metabolically labeled with [35S]-sulfate and the labeled products isolated from the cell medium and the cell layer characterized by sensitivity to bacterial eliminases. Experiments were undertaken with exogenous labeled decorin, and its metabolic state was studied. Results In a 24-hour labeling period, 75% of the newly synthesized chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) PGs appeared in the culture medium, the majority of which (90%) was decorin. In the cell layer, protein-free glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains accounted for 21% of the total CS/DS at 24 hours and exhibited constant specific activity at 12 – 16 hours. The latter material was turned over with a half-life of approximately 2.5 hours. Exogenous decorin underwent receptor-mediated endocytosis and subsequent intracellular degradation. Uptake but not degradation could be inhibited by heparin. Conclusions HPMCs are distinguished by a rapid turnover of decorin. A characteristic metabolic feature is the existence of a large intracellular pool of protein-free DS-GAGs. Understanding the control of decorin turnover in HPMCs might lead to delineation of its potential role in both the physiology and pathophysiology of the membrane in PD patients.

Ha Synthase

Hyaluronan (HA) is a ubiquitous extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan composed of repeated disaccharide units of alternating D-glucuronic acid and D-N-acetylglucosamine residues linked via alternatingβ-1,4 andβ-1,3 glycosidic bonds. HA is synthesized in humans by HA synthase (HAS) enzymes 1, 2, and 3, which are encoded by the correspondingHASgenes. Previous in vitro studies have shown characteristic changes in HAS expression and increased HA synthesis in response to wounding and proinflammatory cytokines in human peritoneal mesothelial cells. In addition, in vivo models and human peritoneal biopsy samples have provided evidence of changes in HA metabolism in the fibrosis that at present accompanies peritoneal dialysis treatment. This review discusses these published observations and how they might contribute to improvement in peritoneal dialysis.

BackgroundNoninfectious upregulation of proinflammatory pathways in mesothelial cells may represent an integral part of their stress response upon exposure to peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDF).ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the stress-inducible mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 in regulation of inflammatory and stress responses in mesothelial cells following in vitro exposure to PDF.Materials and MethodsHuman peritoneal mesothelial cells were exposed to Dianeal PD4 or Physioneal (Baxter AG, Vienna, Austria) containing 1.36% glucose and then allowed to recover. Phosphorylation of p38, induction of heat shock protein-70 (HSP70), release of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), secretion of interleukin (IL)-8, gene transcription, and mRNA stability were assessed with and without the MAPK p38 inhibitor SB203580.ResultsExposure to Dianeal resulted in phosphorylation of p38 within 30 minutes (309% of control, p < 0.05) and increased IL-8 release (370% of control, p < 0.05), HSP70 expression (151% of control, p < 0.05), and LDH release (180% of control, p < 0.05). Exposure to Physioneal resulted in attenuated changes in IL-8, HSP70, and LDH. Addition of the p38 inhibitor SB203580 to Dianeal resulted in dampened IL-8 release (-55%; p < 0.05) and basal HSP70 expression, and unchanged LDH release. Effects of p38 on IL-8 were at transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and translational levels.ConclusionThese data confirm concordant p38-dependent upregulation of IL-8 and HSP70 following exposure to bioincompatible PDF. The MAPK p38 pathway therefore links proinflammatory processes and the cellular stress response in human peritoneal mesothelial cells.

The Impact

Abstract. Bioincompatibility of peritoneal dialysis fluids (PDF) has been linked to the presence of glucose degradation products (GDP). Previous experiments have shown that short-term exposure to several GDP at concentrations found in commercially available PDF had no significant effect on human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC). During continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis, however, cells are continually exposed to GDP for extended periods of time. Thus, the impact of GDP on HPMC during long-term exposure was assessed. HPMC were cultured for up to 36 d in the presence of 6 identified GDP (acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, furaldehyde, glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and 5-HMF) at doses that reflect their concentrations in conventional PDF. At regular time intervals, the ability of HPMC to secrete cytokines (interleukin-6 [IL-6]) and extracellular matrix molecules (fibronectin) was evaluated. In addition, cell viability, morphology, and proliferative potential were assessed. Exposure to GDP resulted in a significant reduction in mesothelial IL-6 and fibronectin release. Approximately 80% of this decrease occurred during the first 12 d of the exposure and was paralleled by a gradual loss of cell viability and development of morphologic alterations. After 36 d of exposure, the number of cells in GDP-treated cultures was reduced by nearly 60%. However, GDP-treated cells were able to resume normal proliferation when transferred to a normal GDP-free medium. HPMC viability and function may be impaired during long-term exposure to clinically relevant concentrations of GDP, which suggests a potential role of GDP in the pathogenesis of peritoneal membrane dysfunction during chronic peritoneal dialysis.

Human Peritoneal Mesothelial Cells

Cell seeding may decrease the thrombogenicity of implanted vascular grafts, but its application is hampered by the limited availability of autologous endothelial cells. Human peritoneal mesothelial cells have blood flow supporting qualities and are readily available. This study investigated the adherence of mesothelial cells to vascular prostheses and their subsequent growth in vitro. Circular pieces of various vascular prosthetic materials were seeded with 51Chromium-labeled mesothelial and endothelial cells and left for either 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes. The unattached cells were removed and the degree of cell attachment was measured. The number of mesothelial cells to Dacron increased during the first 60 min up to 35.2 % of the seeded inoculum whereafter a plateau was reached. Scanning electron microscopy showed spreaded mesothelial cells adherent to the Dacron fibers. A significant increase in adherence was observed after preincubation of Dacron with 10 μg/mL fibronectin, but no improvement was found after preincubation with human serum albumin or gelatin. Mesothelial cells adhered better to Gelcoated than to Gelsealed or plain Dacron. The adherence of mesothelial cells to ePTFE (Teflon) was significantly poorer. No significant differences in adherence were found between mesothelial and endothelial cells. Mesothelial cell growth on Dacron resulted in a modest increase in the number of viable cells during 27 days, which implies biocompatibility of Dacron and mesothelial cells in vitro.
