Abstract
Immunosenescence refers to the immune system changes observed in individuals over 50 years old, characterized by diminished immune response and chronic inflammation. Recent investigations have highlighted similar immune alterations in patients with reduced kidney function. The immune system and kidney function have been found to be closely interconnected. Studies have shown that as kidney function declines, both innate and adaptive immunity are affected. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients exhibit decreased levels of naive and regular T cells, as well as naive and memory B cells, while memory T cell counts increase. Furthermore, research suggests that CKD and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients experience early thymic dysfunction and heightened homeostatic proliferation of naive T cells. In addition to reduced thymic T cell production, CKD patients display shorter telomeres in both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Declining kidney function induces uremic conditions, which alter the intestinal metabolic environment and promote pathogen overgrowth while reducing diversity. This dysbiosis-driven imbalance in the gut microbiota can result in elevated production of uremic toxins, which, in turn, enter the systemic circulation due to compromised gut barrier function under uremic conditions. The accumulation of gut-derived uremic toxins exacerbates local and systemic kidney inflammation. Immune-mediated kidney damage occurs due to the activation of immune cells in the intestine as a consequence of dysbiosis, leading to the production of cytokines and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), thereby contributing to kidney inflammation. In this review, we delve into the fundamental mechanisms of immunosenescence in CKD, encompassing alterations in adaptive immunity, gut dysbiosis, and an overview of the clinical findings pertaining to immunosenescence.

Abstract
Infection is the second leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Adequate humoral (antibody) and cellular (T cell-driven) immunity are required to minimize pathogen entry and promote pathogen clearance to enable infection control. Vaccination can generate cellular and humoral immunity against specific pathogens and is used to prevent many life-threatening infectious diseases. However, vaccination efficacy is diminished in patients with CKD. Premature ageing of the immune system and chronic systemic low-grade inflammation are the main causes of immune alteration in these patients. In the case of SARS-CoV-2 infection, COVID-19 can have considerable detrimental effects in patients with CKD, especially in those with kidney failure. COVID-19 prevention through successful vaccination is therefore paramount in this vulnerable population. Although patients receiving dialysis have seroconversion rates comparable to those of patients with normal kidney function, most kidney transplant recipients could not generate humoral immunity after two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine. Importantly, some patients who were not able to produce antibodies still had a detectable vaccine-specific T cell response, which might be sufficient to prevent severe COVID-19. Correlates of protection against SARS-CoV-2 have not been established for patients with kidney failure, but they are urgently needed to enable personalized vaccination regimens.

Abstract
Kidney transplant candidates and kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at particular risk of severe complications of COVID-19 disease. In Western countries, mortality in affected hospitalized KTRs ranges between 19% and 50%. COVID-19 vaccination remains the most important measure to prevent the severity of infection in candidates and recipients of kidney transplant. However, the uraemic condition may affect the vaccine-induced immunity in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and in KTRs. Retention of uraemic toxins, dysbiosis, dysmetabolism, and dialysis can diminish the normal response to vaccination, leading to dysfunction of inflammatory and immune cells. In KTRs the efficacy of vaccines may be reduced by the immunosuppressive medications, and more than half of kidney transplant recipients are unable to build an immune response even after four administrations of anti-COVID-19 vaccines. The lack of antibody response leaves these patients at high risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection and severe COVID-19 disease. The aim of the present review is to focus on the main reasons for the impaired immunological response among candidates and kidney transplant recipients and to highlight some of the present options available to solve the problem.

Toxin Removal and Inflammatory State Modulation during Online Hemodiafiltration Using Two Different Dialyzers (TRIAD2 Study). Methods Protoc 2021; 4:mps4020026. [PMID: 33921921 PMCID: PMC8167554 DOI: 10.3390/mps4020026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Revised: 04/07/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Uremic toxins play a pathological role in atherosclerosis and represent an important risk factor in dialysis patients. Online hemodiafiltration (HDF) has been introduced to improve the clearance of middle- and large-molecular-weight solutes (>500 Da) and has been associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality compared to standard hemodialysis. This non-randomized, open-label observational study will explore the efficacy of two dialyzers currently used for online HDF, a polysulfone-based high-flux membrane, and a cellulose triacetate membrane, in hemodialysis patients with signs of middle-molecule intoxication or intradialytic hypotension. In particular, the two filters will be evaluated for their ability in uremic toxin removal and modulation of inflammatory status. Sixteen subjects in standard chronic bicarbonate hemodialysis requiring a switch to online HDF in view of their clinical status will be enrolled and divided into two treatment arms, according to the previous history of hypersensitivity to polysulfone/polyethersulfone dialysis filters and hypersensitivity to drugs or other allergens. Group A will consist of 16 patients without a previous history of hypersensitivity and will be treated with a polysulfone filter (Helixone FX100), and group B, also consisting of 16 patients, with a previous history of hypersensitivity and will be treated with asymmetric triacetate (ATA; SOLACEA 21-H) dialyzer. Each patient will be followed for a period of 24 months, with monthly assessments of circulating middle-weight toxins and protein-bound toxins, markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, lymphocyte subsets, activated lymphocytes, and monocytes, cell apoptosis, the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), variations in arterial stiffens measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV), and mortality rate. The in vitro effect on endothelial cells of uremic serum collected from patients treated with the two different dialyzers will also be investigated to examine the changes in angiogenesis, cell migration, differentiation, apoptosis and proliferative potential, and gene and protein expression profile. The expected results will be a better awareness of the different effects of polysulfone gold-standard membrane for online HDF and the new ATA membrane on the removal of uremic toxins removal and inflammation due to blood-membrane interaction.

Abstract
Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a proinflammatory and proatherogenic cytokine with pleiotropic properties, which is involved in T and NK cell maturation and the synthesis of other inflammatory cytokines and cell adhesion molecules. It plays a significant role in orchestrating the cytokine cascade, accelerates atherosclerosis and influences plaque vulnerability. To investigate the influence of IL-18 cytokine on atherosclerosis development, a stochastic Petri net model was built and then analyzed. First, MCT-sets and t-clusters were generated, then knockout and simulation-based analysis was conducted. The application of systems approach that was used in this research enabled an in-depth analysis of the studied phenomenon. Our results gave us better insight into the studied phenomenon and allow revealing that activation of macrophages by the classical pathway and IL-18-MyD88 signaling axis is crucial for the modeled process.

Abstract
The prevalence of both cancer and end-stage renal disease is increasing. In addition, medical advances have meant increased survival rates for both diseases. Many chemotherapeutics are renally excreted, and conversely, renal insufficiency promotes a pro-neoplastic state, including genitourinary and other cancers. Dialysis prolongs life while increasing cancer risk. Proposed oncogenic mechanisms include immune dysfunction, chronic inflammation, changes in gut microbiota and stimulation of the renin-angiotensin system. This review summarizes current concepts in the relationship between cancer and renal insufficiency.

Abstract
During the outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus(MERS-CoV) in 2015, one hemodialysis patient was infected with MERS-CoV, and the remaining hemodialysis(HD) patients (n = 83) and medical staff (n = 12) had to undergo dialysis treatment in an isolated environment. This study was performed to investigate the effects of stress caused by dialysis treatment under isolation. Plasma samples from the HD patients and medical staff were collected at the time of isolation(M0), the following month(M1), and three months after isolation(M3). Parameters for stress included circulating cell-free genomic DNA(ccf-gDNA), circulating cell-free mitochondria DNA(ccf-mtDNA), and pentraxin-3(PTX-3). Decreased values of Hct, kt/v and ca x p were recovered after the end of two weeks of isolation. The levels of ccf-gDNA and ccf-mtDNA were the highest at M0 and decreased gradually in both HD patients and the medical staff. The normalization of ccf-gDNA and ccf-mtDNA was significantly delayed in HD patients compared with the response in the medical staff. PTX-3 increased only in HD patients and was highest at M0, and it then gradually decreased. Medical isolation and subnormal quality of care during the MERS outbreak caused extreme stress in HD patients. Plasma cell-free DNA and PTX-3 seems to be good indicators of stress and quality of care in HD patients.

Abstract
Aim To determine whether apoptosis is more common in previously punctured native veins than in non-punctured native veins among patients who undergo surgical creation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for dialysis access. Methods Cephalic vein specimens were obtained from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014 from 60 patients, 30 with previously punctured native veins and 30 with non-punctured native veins. Before AVF placement, a 1-cm vein segment was excised from distal part of the vein for histological, histochemical, and immunohistochemical analysis. Vein specimens were divided into two portions along the longitudinal axis and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for routine histological evaluation. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to localize Bax, p53, caspase 3, and Bcl-2 expression. Results The group with previously punctured veins showed significantly increased caspase 3 (P < 0.001, two-sided Fisher`s Exact Test) and Bax expression (P = 0.002, two-sided Fisher`s Exact Test) and significantly decreased Bcl-2 expression (P < 0.001, two-sided Fisher`s Exact Test) compared with the control group. There were no significant differences between the groups in p53 expression (χ2 = 0.071, df = 1, P = 0.791). Fistula failure was significantly more common in the study group (26.7% vs 6.7%, χ2 = 4.32, df = 1, P = 0.038). Conclusion Our study indicates a possible role of venipuncture in apoptosis development and a possible role of apoptosis in fistula failure, but we do not have sufficient evidence to conclude that it represents its main cause.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the clinical utility of lactate measured at different time points to predict mortality at 48 hours and 28 days in septic patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Consecutive critically ill patients with septic AKI requiring CRRT were prospectively studied. Variables were collected at initiation of CRRT and 24 hours later.In total, 186 patients were analyzed. Overall mortality at 48 hours was 28% and at 28 days was 69%. Initial lactate, lactate at 24 hours and the proportion of patients with a lactate clearance superior to 10% were different between survivors at 28 days [2.0 mmol/L, 1.95 mmol/L and 18/45 (40%)] and nonsurvivors [3.46 mmol, 4.66 mmol, and 18/94 (19%)]. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that lactate at 24 hours and lactate clearance, but not initial lactate, were independently associated to mortality. Area under the ROC curves for 28-day mortality was 0.635 for initial lactate; 0.828 for lactate at 24 hours and 0.701 for lactate clearance.Lactate clearance and lactate after 24 hours of CRRT, but not initial lactate, were independently associated with mortality in septic AKI patients undergoing CRRT. Serial lactate measurements may be useful prognostic markers than initial lactate in these patients.

Abstract
Introduction High serum resistin levels are associated with the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The objectives of this study were to determine the serum concentrations of resistin in children that present with chronic renal failure (CRF) and end stage renal disease (ESRD), in order to examine the impact of hemodialysis (HD) on serum resistin levels, and to determine if a correlation exists between resistin and growth retardation in patients with CRF. Methods This case control study was undertaken in the pediatric hemodialysis unit of the Benha and Menoufia University hospitals from April 2014 to March 2015. The case group consisted of 50 patients with CRF aged from 6–18 years (25 of them under HD and 25 of them under conservative treatment) and 30 healthy children who constituted the control group. Urea, creatinine, and serum resistin were measured before and after the HD session for patients with CRF who are already under HD. Results A highly significant difference was found between the resistin levels in the two groups with mean level of 20.2 ± 7.58 ng/ml in the patient case group as compared to 4.9 ± 1.72 ng/ml in the control group. This highly significant difference found in the resistin level differed according to the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage of progression as patients on regular HD had resistin levels with a mean of 24.6 ± 7.28 ng/ml while the CKD patients under conservative treatment have resistin level mean of 15.6 ± 4.72 ng/ml. there was a highly significant difference in resistin levels before HD (mean = 24.6 ± 7.28) and after hemodialysis (mean = 14.7 ± 5.2). Conclusion Patients with CRF experienced higher than normal resistin levels as compared to the case control group and it was found that patients on HD had more elevated levels of resistin than did those patients who were on conservative treatment. HD treatments were found to be capable of lowering a patient’s resistin levels. A highly significant negative correlation was found between serum resistin levels and the two contributing factors of total body weight and body mass index (BMI) as well as demonstrating a significant negative correlation between serum resistin levels and height percentiles.

Abstract
By virtue of antioxidant and anti-inflammable properties, plant-derived phytochemicals such as mangiferin and genistein have attracted considerable attention for functionalization of polymeric hemodialysis (HD) membranes via solution blending. In-vitro dihydrorhodamine (DHR) assay of the genistein-modified membranes revealed drastic reduction in the level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS). In contrast, mangiferin-modified HD membrane manifested the pro-oxidant activity. We suspected that such difference in ROS generation may be attributed to the glucose unit on the xanthone backbone of mangiferin. This hypothesis was confirmed by comparing the ROS levels of genistein versus genistin, and mangiferin versus xanthone and 3,4,5,6-tetrahydroxyxanthone. Phytochemicals without the glucose unit show better antioxidant property related to the glycosides. Anti-inflammatory property was further conducted by measuring the level of TNF-α in blood after contacting with the same selected phytochemicals. Of particular interest is that the glucose unit promotes the generation of TNF-α.

Influence of Polysulphone-Derived Dialysis Membranes on the Interaction of Circulating Mononuclear Cells with the Endothelium. Int J Artif Organs 2014; 37:455-65.

Abstract
Purpose Cardiovascular morbidity in hemodialysis (HD) patients may be influenced by the activation of circulating mononuclear cells (MCs) with subsequently increased endothelium interaction. The use of more biocompatible membranes would reduce this monocyte activation. We compare monocyte activation after using two different high-flux polymers, polysulphone and polyethersulphone. Methods The first part of the study was done with 10 patients who successively received dialysis for 2 weeks with polysulphone and polyethersulphone. The second part with 30 patients dialyzed for 3 months with polysulphone or polyethersulphone. Blood samples were taken before (pre-HD) and after (post-HD) the first HD session with each membrane to evaluate the effect of a single HD session. To assess acute and chronic effects of membranes, blood samples were taken pre-HD, after 2 weeks (first part of study) and after 3 months (second part of study). MCs were isolated from blood and then incubated with cultured human endothelial cells to evaluate MC adhesion, MC-dependent endothelial toxicity, and endothelial protein expressions of nitric oxide synthase and endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1). Results One single HD session did not induce any changes. Dialysis for 2 weeks (first part of study) with polyethersulphone reduced MC adhesion to endothelium, cellular toxicity, and ECE-1 protein expression compared to polysulphone or basal conditions. Dialysis for 3 months (second part of study) increased MC adhesion to endothelium, whereas cellular toxicity was decreased with both dialyzers compared to the basal situation. Conclusions Although polyethersulphone HD decreased the interaction of MC with the endothelium in short-term experiments, both membranes were comparable in the long-term.

Abstract
Hemocompatibility of genistein-modified poly(ethersulfone)/poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PES/PVP) hemodialysis (HD) membranes has been investigated in vitro with emphasis on evaluation of cell viability, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiplatelet adhesion properties. Genistein modified PES/PVP membranes reveal significant reduction of the reactive oxygen species and also considerable suppression of interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α levels in whole blood, but to a lesser extent ininterleukin-6. The incorporation of PVP into the HD membrane reduces platelet adhesion by virtue of its hydrophilicity. Of particular importance is that platelet adhesion of the genistein modified membranes declines noticeably at low concentrations of genistein for about 5-10%, beyond which it raises the number of adhered platelets. The initial decline in the platelet adhesion is attributable to genistein's ability to inhibit intercellular and/or vascular cell adhesion, whereas the reversal of this adhesion trend with further increase of genistein loading is ascribed to the inherent hydrophobicity of the genistein modified HD membrane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The knowledge of the immunological profile of patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on haemodialysis (HD) is still limited. AIMS This study investigated the immune response profile in HCV patients with concomitant ESRD focusing on the influence of the renal disease on the phenotypic profile of peripheral blood lymphocytes. METHODS Immunophenotypic features of peripheral blood leucocytes were assessed by flow cytometry in two distinct groups: HCV patients with ESRD (CHC+ESRD, n = 16) and HCV patients with normal renal function (CHC, n = 20). Two control groups that were included were as follows: HCV negative blood donors (BD, n = 15) and HCV negative patients with ESRD (ESRD, n = 19). RESULTS Higher frequency of macrophage-like and pro-inflammatory monocytes along with enhanced frequency of CD3(-) CD16(-) CD56(+) , mainly CD56(dim) NK-cells, were the hallmark of CHC+ESRD patients. Lower frequency of B cells with significant decreased of B1 and CD23(+) B-cells were associated with ESRD, regardless the HCV infection. Although higher rates of activated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells were observed in the CHC and CHC+ESRD groups, the chemotaxis of T-cell subsets, based on their chemokine receptor expression, was affected by ESRD. CONCLUSIONS Chronic hepatitis C patients with ESRD on HD exhibit distinctive phenotypic profile of circulating leucocytes. It may be implicated in the natural history of HCV infection in this particular group of patients and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
We have recently revealed that mycobacterial heat shock proteins (Mtb-hsp), involved in forming of immune complexes (CIs), can induce immune response in sarcoidosis (SA). The complexemia may result from inappropriate phagocytosis and clearance of CIs by monocytes with following persistent antigenemia and granuloma formation. Because an aberrant expression of receptors for Fc fragment of immunoglobulin G (FcγR) and complement receptors (CR) on monocytes can be involved in this process, we have evaluated the expression of FcγRI (CD64), FcγRII (CD32), FcγRIII (CD16) and CR1 (CD35), CR3 (CD11b), CR4 (CD11c) receptors on blood CD14(+) monocytes and its phagocytic activity in 24 patients with SA and 20 healthy volunteers using flow cytometry. We found significantly increased expression of all examined FcγR and decreased expression of CD35 and CD11c on CD14(+) monocytes in SA patients vs controls. Significantly increased percentage of CD14(+)CD16(+)CD35(-), CD14(+)CD64(+)CD35(+), CD14(+)CD64(+)CD11b(+), CD14(+)CD64(+)CD11c(+) and decreased of CD14(+)CD32(-)CD35(+), CD14(+)CD32(-)CD11b(+), CD14(+)CD32(-)CD11c(+) monocytes' phenotypes was revealed in SA. The total number and percentage of phagocyting monocytes was significantly increased in SA as compared with controls. In conclusion, altered expression of FcγR and CR on CD14(+) monocytes and its increased phagocytic activity may be responsible for high antigen load, persistent antigenemia and immunocomplexemia in SA patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to ascertain the role of different vascular access types in inflammatory status, monocyte activation, and senescence in hemodialysis patients. METHODS We recruited 126 hemodialysis patients, including 51 with arterovenous fistula (AVF), 32 with arterovenous graft (AVG), and 43 with tunneled cuffed catheters (TCC). In dialysis patients enrolled in the study and in a control group of 40 healthy subjects, we measured the serum levels of albumin, CRP, IL-6, and TNF-a, the expression of CD14, CD44, and CD32 on monocyte surface, and the percentage of monocytes exhibiting a senescent phenotype (CD14+CD32+). RESULTS The patients with AVG compared to those with AVF had: a) higher levels of CRP and TNF-a; b) increased expression of CD14 and CD32 on monocyte surface, with no difference in CD44 expression; c) no difference in the percentage of CD14+CD32+ monocytes. In the comparison of TCC vs. AVF group, we observed significantly higher values of: a) circulating inflammatory markers (CRP, IL-6, TNF-a); b) monocyte surface expression of cellular activation markers (CD14, CD44 and CD32); c) relative count of CD14+CD32+ monocytes. When comparing TCC vs. AVG group, we found: a) no difference in serum levels of CRP, IL-6, and TNF-a; b) no difference in the expression of CD14, CD44, and CD32 on monocyte surface; c) no difference in the percentage of CD14+CD32+ monocytes. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that the use of AVG and TCC for dialysis vascular access is associated with serological and cellular indexes of inflammatory reaction, also resulting in a higher degree of monocyte activation and senescence.

Abstract
Uremia is associated with a state of immune dysfunction with increased susceptibility to infection and malignancy possibly related to dysregulation of immune system cell apoptosis. Peritoneal dialysis can restore plasma apoptosis activity on monocytes compared to intermittent hemodialysis. Whether the continuous modality or diverse clearance mechanisms involved are responsible is unknown. Apoptosis rates correlate with phagocytic function highlighting the benefit of efficient toxin clearance. The plasma of 16 patients on daily hemodialysis (D-HD) was incubated with U937 monocytes and compared to 18 hemodialysis (HD) patients, 5 chronic renal failure (CRF) subjects and 5 healthy volunteers (controls). Apoptosis was evaluated by immunofluorescence microscopy dyes (Hoechst 33342, propidium iodide) and annexin V cytoflowmetry at 96 h. Plasma-induced U937 apoptosis (mean values) was significantly enhanced in D-HD (18.8 +/- 4.1), HD (19.67 +/- 5.5) and CRF patients (20.8 +/- 4.7) compared to controls (9.6 +/- 3.6; p < 0.05 for CRF vs. controls, HD vs. controls and D-HD vs. controls). No significant differences were observed between D-HD, HD and CRF sera on apoptosis rate, caspase-3 activity and phagocytic capacity of U937 monocytes. This study demonstrates that the plasma of various HD schedules was unable to reduce monocyte apoptosis induced by uremia.

Abstract
Oxidative stress and inflammatory processes generate edema in burns. Treatment of consequent hypovolemia is a challenge. The aim of study was to assess if glutathione pro-drug N-acetylcysteine (NAC) can influence inflammation and fluid requirement. We also aimed to compare organ functions scores and vasoactive drug requirement. This prospective randomised study involved 28 patients with burn injury affecting more than 20% of body surface area. Fourteen patients were on standard therapy, whereas for other 14 patients NAC was supplemented. Blood samples were taken on admission and on the next five consecutive mornings. Leukocyte surface marker expressions were determined, multiple organ function scores, use of vasopressor agents and fluid requirements were recorded daily. Expression of CD11a (p < 0.05), CD18 (p < 0.05) and CD97 (p < 0.01) on the granulocytes were significantly lower in the NAC treated group, similarly to lymphocyte CD 49d (p < 0.05) and monocyte CD 49d (p < 0.01) and CD 97 (p < 0.05) expression. No significant difference was found in the fluid requirement between groups but patients the NAC group required less vasopressor and inotropic drugs from day 4. NAC treatment is associated with a less pronounced inflammation reflected in lower CD marker expression and vasopressor requirement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Induction of heat shock proteins (HSP), i.e. of the major family member HSP70, is an important cytoprotective-resistance mechanism for monocytes/ macrophages (Mphi). Patients on haemodialysis present with a high infectious morbidity and enhanced carcinoma incidence. Renal insufficiency-related alteration of microbicidal and tumoricidal functions of Mphi, major effectors of the immune system, might promote these diseases. METHODS Freshly isolated Mphi from Sprague-Dawley rats 2 weeks after 5/6-nephrectomy and from patients on intermittent haemodialysis (IHD) were stimulated by heat shock (HS) and compared to stimulated Mphi of control rats or healthy volunteers (CTR). Expression of HSP72 (inducible HSP70) was assessed by RT-PCR, and/or flow cytometry. Apoptosis of Mphi was detected by flow cytometry (CD14/annexin V-labelling). RESULTS In rat Mphi, baseline HSP72 expression was similar in both groups, but its induction was significantly impaired in renal insufficiency (214 +/- 68% less HSP70-mRNA versus CTR, n = 6). In patients, HSF-1-mRNA and HSP72-mRNA/protein response to HS was significantly lower, but not affected by dialysis session itself. In parallel, apoptosis of Mphi of patients was enhanced (+83 +/- 29% constitutive apoptotic Mphi versus CTR, n = 8), and HS-dependent protection from apoptosis with and without serum depletion (48 h depletion: HS, +275 +/- 37% apoptotic Mphi versus CTR, n = 6; full medium: +166 +/- 62% versus CTR, n = 8, P < 0.05) was inferior. CONCLUSIONS Impaired HSP72 stress response of Mphi in patients on haemodialysis might contribute to the observed immune dysfunction and, therefore, to the increased susceptibility to infection and malignancy. Stress impairment is not restricted to uraemia but is already present in a rat model of chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
It is not known whether high convective transport may have a role in modulating the chronic inflammation of hemodialysis (HD) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of on-line hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) on proinflammatory peripheral monocytes: Percentage of CD14+CD16+ cells and their telomere length and spontaneous or bacterial DNA-induced production of cytokines (TNF-alpha and IL-6). In a prospective, crossover study, 31 patients who were on high-flux HD (HF-HD) were evaluated. Patients underwent the following sequence of treatments (4 mo each): HF-HD (basal), OL-HDF (period 1), HF-HD (period 2), OL-HDF (period 3), and HF-HD (period 4). The dialysis characteristics were similar in the two modalities; the only difference was a higher convective transport in the OL-HDF than in the HF-HD. All patients who were on OL-HDF periods showed a significantly lower number of CD14+CD16+ cells than on HF-HD (18.5 +/- 2.3 basal versus 13.6 +/- 2.9 period 1 and 13.9 +/- 2.3 period 3; P = 0.001). By contrast, HF-HD restored the number of CD14+CD16+ cells to the basal values (19.2 +/- 2.8 and 18.6 +/- 1.4, periods 2 and 4, respectively; NS). During OL-HDF periods, the reduction of CD14+CD16+ was paralleled by a decreased number of short telomere cells. Spontaneous or bacterial DNA-induced production of cytokines (TNF-alpha and IL-6) was increased in HF-HD as compared with OL-HDF. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that as compared with HF-HD, OL-HDF markedly reduces the number of proinflammatory CD14+CD16+ cells and the production of TNF-alpha and IL-6. Future studies are needed to assess the possible therapeutic effect of convective transport on chronic inflammation that is associated with HD.

Abstract
Increased percentage of monocytes with low CD14 expression and that co-express CD16 (CD14+/CD16+) have been reported in hemodialysis (HD) patients. We sought to determine whether CD14+/CD16+ monocytes in HD therapy are sensibilized cells to a proinflammatory activity. Cells from 32 HD patients, and from 9 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), 9 individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1- and 15 healthy controls were studied. Cells were analyzed by means of flow cytometry for CD14/CD16 expression and immune function (cytokine, chemokines, and sialoadhesin expression), and phagocytosis. Increased percentage of CD14+/CD16+ monocytes was observed in HD patients. Compared with CD14++ monocytes, the CD14+/CD16+ monocytes exhibited increased expression of proinflammatory cytokines and markers of differentiated cells. In addition, these monocytes showed an increased phagocytic activity. Similarly, CD14+/CD16+ monocytes from SLE and HIV patients showed increased inflammatory activity as compared with CD14++ cells. These results support that CD14+/CD16+ monocytes from HD patients evidence characteristics of primed prestimulated proinflammatory cells, similar to data observed in SLE and HIV.

Abstract
Ten patients with nondialyzed chronic renal failure (CRF), 14 receiving continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), 16 receiving hemodialysis (HD), and 10 normal controls (NC), were evaluated. Levels of Fas antigen (CD95), scavenger receptors (CD36 and CD68), and tumor necrosis factor-receptor 2 (CD120b) on monocytes were measured using flow cytometry. All patients showed lymphocytopenia, and monocyte counts were decreased in those with CRF. Fas levels were higher in patients receiving HD than the others, and were higher in the CRF and CAPD groups than in controls. CD120b levels were similar to those of Fas. Monocyte CD36 levels in the dialysis groups were significantly higher than in the CRF and NC groups. CD68 was also significantly elevated in HD patients. Fas levels were positively correlated with those of CD120b and CD68. The patient groups showed higher levels of apoptotic markers and scavenger receptors, combined with activation of the TNF-alpha system, especially in patients receiving HD.

Abstract
Chronic renal failure (CRF) is usually accompanied by abnormalities of both humoral and cellular immune response. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) on intracellular oxidative stress and apoptosis rate of T lymphocytes in children with CRF. Twenty-two children (aged 4-16, mean 7.4) with CRF treated with dialysis were enrolled in the study. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was quantified by mean rhodamine 123 (RHO) fluorescence intensity with flow cytometry. Annexin V FITC was used for identifying apoptotic cells. Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI), which reflected intracellular oxidative stress in T lymphocytes, was increased in patients with CRF compared with the controls (CD3+: 31.58+/-11.58 vs 22.55+/-4.97, p = 0.043; CD3+CD4+: 32.50+/-8.59 vs 27.75+/-12.76, NS; CD3+CD8+: 32.10+/-11.85 vs 20.77+/- 4.89, p =0.012). Apoptotic T lymphocytes occurred more frequently in patients with CRF treated with hemodialysis (HD) (11.36+/-6.96%) than in the controls (6.14%+/-3.36%; p = 0.025). After 24 h incubation with NAC MFI and apoptosis rate decreased significantly in all subpopulations of lymphocytes. NAC, as a strong antioxidant, has a favorable effect on intracellular oxidative stress and apoptosis rate of T lymphocytes in patients with CRF. A decreased apoptosis rate may have positive effect on functional abnormalities of T cells already found in patients with CRF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uremia is associated to host defense mechanism disorders. Lymphocyte apoptosis, which may cause alteration of the immune system, is increased in uremic patients. The aim of the present study was to determine if, in addition to uremia, dialysis membranes with different biocompatibility and permeability have an effect on lymphocyte apoptosis. METHODS Cell apoptosis and Fas expression were assessed using flow cytometry in four groups of patients: (1) uremic non-dialyzed (Non-D) patients; (2) hemodialysis (HD) patients on hemophan; (3) low-flux polysulfone, and (4) high-flux polysulfone membrane. Ten healthy volunteers were used as controls. RESULTS At baseline, lymphocytes from patients on hemophan showed an increase in apoptosis (18.4 +/- 6.9%) as compared with Non-D (7.2 +/- 2.8%; p < 0.001), low-flux (6.4 +/- 2.4%; p < 0.001), high-flux (2.6 +/- 1.2%; p < 0.001) and controls (2.0 +/- 1.0%; p < 0.001). Fas expression was similar in lymphocytes from Non-D and hemophan dialyzed patients (40.5 +/- 5% vs. 40.4 +/- 6%), and in both groups it was greater than low-flux (30%+/-7%; p < 0.001), high-flux (11 +/- 4%; p < 0.001) and controls (12.6 +/- 3%; p < 0.001). When lymphocytes were cultured for 48 h, apoptosis was similar in Non-D and hemophan (27.0 +/- 4.3% vs. 27.1 +/- 6.9%); apoptosis of lymphocyte from patients on low-flux (14.1 +/- 3.5%) was greater than on high-flux polysulfone membrane (7.0 +/- 2.0%; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION These findings suggest that in dialysis patients lymphocyte apoptosis is influenced not only by the biocompatibility but also by the permeability of the dialysis membrane.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adiponectin, a cytokine with anti-inflammatory properties that is secreted from adipose tissue, is associated with insulin resistance. Adiponectin has been shown to be a predictor of cardiovascular events in both the general population and patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD); however, its role in peritoneal dialysis (PD) analogues remains unclear. METHODS Serum adiponectin levels, measured by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in subjects with normal renal function and patients undergoing HD or PD (28 subjects in each group), were analyzed to establish the relationship between adiponectin and lipid levels, as well as insulin resistance. In the second study, 104 PD patients were recruited to analyze the relationships between serum adiponectin level and residual renal and peritoneal function and C-reactive protein (CRP) level. Independent factors for serum adiponectin level were determined from multiple linear regression. RESULTS No significant difference was shown comparing serum adiponectin levels of PD and HD patients; however, both were significantly greater than those of control subjects (P < 0.01). Negative associations were shown between adiponectin and triglyceride (TG; P < 0.01) and insulin levels (P < 0.05) and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (P < 0.01) for the former 2 groups; however, a positive association was shown for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level (P < 0.05). Neither HD nor PD removed adiponectin significantly, with levels for the PD group negatively associated with residual renal function (P < 0.01) and CRP level (P < 0.001). PD patients administered glucose-lowering agents had lower adiponectin levels; however, lipid-lowering agents and renin-angiotensin blockades did not appear to affect them. Independent determinants for serum adiponectin level in PD patients were TG, HDL, and CRP levels and body mass index, after adjustment for age, sex, PD therapy duration, and diabetes. Adiponectin levels were not associated with left ventricular mass or ejection fraction. As for HD patients, PD patients had high adiponectin levels; adiponectin was not removed effectively using either of the studied dialysis modalities. In addition to a significant relationship with the components of insulin resistance, adiponectin level was associated with CRP level in these patients. CONCLUSION These results indicate that adiponectin level in PD patients may be a good indicator of cardiovascular disease risk.

Abstract
Uremia is associated with a state of immune dysfunction, increasing infection and malignancy rates. Dysregulation of homeostasis may be directly related to abnormal apoptosis regulation, a process which is crucial for the maintenance of the biologic system. Abnormal apoptosis rates (ARs) have been reported in the literature. We performed a longitudinal study over a 10-week period in three groups of uremic subjects-hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), and predialysis chronic renal failure (CRF). Our results showed that ARs were consistent over the observed period. Monocytes extracted from HD and CRF subjects had higher ARs compared to PD and controls (HD: 26.06 +/- 8.82; CRF: 26.96 +/- 12.81; PD: 14.77 +/- 5.87; C: 11.42 +/- 4.60) when placed in culture medium. The plasma of HD and CRF subjects when incubated with U937 cells had a stronger apoptogenic potential compared with PD and controls (HD: 26.08 +/- 11.39; CRF: 24.87 +/- 9.07; PD: 12.13 +/- 4.51; C: 11.69 +/- 4.02). Inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein [CRP], procalcitonin) and cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1beta, IL-2, IL-10) had a generally poor correlation except for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (p < 0.001). The phagocytic ability of U937 cells when incubated with the various plasma demonstrated impaired response in the HD and CRF subjects (HD: 27.56 +/- 6.67; CRF: 30.24 +/- 9.08; PD: 36.55 +/- 9.80; C: 40.04 +/- 6.98). These results suggest continuous renal purification, such as in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), may have advantages over intermittent therapies in regulating apoptosis and maintaining biologic function and homeostasis.

Abstract
As a consequence of the proinflammatory environment occurring in dialytic patients, cytokine overproduction has been implicated in hemodialysis co-morbidity. However, there are discrepancies among the various studies that have analyzed TNF-alpha synthesis and the presence of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) priming in this clinical setting. We measured bioactive cytokine by the L929 cell bioassay, and evaluated PBMC TNF-alpha production by 32 hemodialysis patients (HP) and 51 controls. No difference in TNF-alpha secretion was observed between controls and HP (859 +/- 141 vs 697 +/- 130 U/10(6) cells). Lipopolysaccharide (5 microg/ml) did not induce any further TNF-alpha release, showing no PBMC priming. Paraformaldehyde-fixed HP PBMC were not cytotoxic to L929 cells, suggesting the absence of membrane-anchored TNF-alpha. Cycloheximide inhibited PBMC cytotoxicity in HP and controls, indicating lack of a PBMC TNF-alpha pool, and dependence on de novo cytokine synthesis. Actinomycin D reduced TNF-alpha production in HP, but had no effect on controls. Therefore, our data imply that TNF-a production is an intrinsic activity of normal PBMC and is not altered in HP. Moreover, TNF-alpha is a product of de novo synthesis by PBMC and is not constitutively expressed on HP cell membranes. The effect of actinomycin D suggests a putative tighter control of TNF-alpha mRNA turnover in HP. This increased dependence on TNF-alpha RNA transcription in HP may reflect an adaptive response to hemodialysis stimuli.

Abstract
Acute renal failure research has been hampered by the lack of useful physiologic surrogate endpoints. Acute renal failure prevention and therapy studies using variables such as urine output and serum and urine chemistries have not yielded interventions proven to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with acute renal dysfunction. Of those interventions that have been successful in smaller, phase II-level efficacy studies, none subsequently decreased the incidence of clinical (effectiveness) endpoints such as dialysis requirement or mortality in larger phase III trials. Suitable physiologic endpoints are needed to test the efficacy of new proposed therapies for the prevention and management of acute renal failure. Candidate endpoints for efficacy studies in acute renal failure prevention and management include glomerular filtration rate markers, renal blood flow, urine markers, and urine output. Possible endpoints for efficacy studies of renal replacement therapy in acute renal failure include serum markers of renal function and a variety of nonrenal markers. In this article, we present an approach to the choice of physiologic endpoints to determine the efficacy of interventions in acute renal failure.
