Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis is a widely used method for treating kidney failure. However, over time, the peritoneal structure and function can deteriorate, leading to the failure of this therapy. This deterioration is primarily caused by infectious and sterile inflammation. Sterile inflammation, which is inflammation without infection, is particularly concerning as it can be subtle and often goes unnoticed. The onset of sterile inflammation involves various pathological processes. Peritoneal cells detect signals that promote inflammation and release substances that attract immune cells from the bloodstream. These immune cells contribute to the initiation and escalation of the inflammatory response. The existing literature extensively covers the involvement of different cell types in the sterile inflammation, including mesothelial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and adipocytes, as well as immune cells such as macrophages, lymphocytes, and mast cells. These cells work together to promote the occurrence and progression of sterile inflammation, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the signals from both stromal cells and components of immune system, as well as the reciprocal interactions between cellular components, during the initiation of sterile inflammation. By understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying sterile inflammation, we may potentially develop therapeutic interventions to counteract peritoneal membrane damage and restore normal function.

IL-17A as a Potential Therapeutic Target for Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10101361. [PMID: 32987705 PMCID: PMC7598617 DOI: 10.3390/biom10101361] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2020] [Revised: 09/16/2020] [Accepted: 09/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a health problem reaching epidemic proportions. There is no cure for CKD, and patients may progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a current replacement therapy option for ESRD patients until renal transplantation can be achieved. One important problem in long-term PD patients is peritoneal membrane failure. The mechanisms involved in peritoneal damage include activation of the inflammatory and immune responses, associated with submesothelial immune infiltrates, angiogenesis, loss of the mesothelial layer due to cell death and mesothelial to mesenchymal transition, and collagen accumulation in the submesothelial compact zone. These processes lead to fibrosis and loss of peritoneal membrane function. Peritoneal inflammation and membrane failure are strongly associated with additional problems in PD patients, mainly with a very high risk of cardiovascular disease. Among the inflammatory mediators involved in peritoneal damage, cytokine IL-17A has recently been proposed as a potential therapeutic target for chronic inflammatory diseases, including CKD. Although IL-17A is the hallmark cytokine of Th17 immune cells, many other cells can also produce or secrete IL-17A. In the peritoneum of PD patients, IL-17A-secreting cells comprise Th17 cells, γδ T cells, mast cells, and neutrophils. Experimental studies demonstrated that IL-17A blockade ameliorated peritoneal damage caused by exposure to PD fluids. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent advances on the role of IL-17A in peritoneal membrane injury during PD and other PD-associated complications.

Abstract
The development of an adequate animal model for peritoneal research remains an object of concern. In vivo peritoneal dialysis (PD) research is hampered by the large variety of available models that make interpretation of results and comparison of studies very difficult. Species and strain of experimental animals, method of peritoneal access, study duration, measures of solute transport and ultrafiltration, and sampling for histology differ substantially among the various research groups. A collective effort to discuss the shortcomings and merits of the different experimental models may lead to a consensus on a standardized animal model of PD.

Abstract
Mast cells in the peritoneal membrane (PM) may degranulate to release preformed inflammatory mediators including histamine which is capable of diffusing into the surrounding interstitium, modulating cells in their vicinity including, human peritoneal mesothelial cells (hPMC). The present study aimed to investigate the quorum intracellular calcium ([Ca2+i]) response to histamine compared to the membrane soluble ionophore, A23187, in adherent cultured hPMC. To examine [Ca2+i] handling, Fura - 2 loaded cells were exposed to histamine and A23187. Agonist induced transient [Ca2+i] event(s) (TCE) were defined and compared including, resting calcium, peak height, recovery and transient kinetics. Changes in cell shape were examined with immunocytochemistry of the cortical actin (CA) and microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton. To investigate whether histamine induced changes in cell shape were mediated by [Ca2+i], mobilization of [Ca2+i] was prevented with 20 μmol/l of the calcium chelator 1,2-bis-(2-aminophenoxy) ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA-AM). Histamine produced a dose dependent increase of [Ca2+i], maximal at 1.0 mmol/l which recovered to the pre-challenge resting value. Transient multiplicity with repeated challenge was evident below a histamine threshold of 10-2 mmol/l. Morphometric analysis of MTs and CA showed significant cell elongation plus histamine and A23187. The histamine induced cell elongation was eliminated with [Ca2+i] clamping. This data indicated that increased [Ca2+i] was essential for cell elongation and the formation of stress fibres and therefore has a pivotal role in the regulation of the PM barrier.

Abstract
Sixteen years ago rabbit and human mesothelial cells were successsfully cultured and autoimplanted. The aim of the study was merely to demostrate that mesothelial implant was possible and interesting not only in peritoneal dialysis, but also in the vaster field of medicine and surgery concerning all the mesothelial districts of the body. The aim of this paper is to recollect the steps which have led to autolougous mesothelial transplantation and verify if the tecnique has been validated and adopted by others. Review of the literature published in the last 15 years shows that intraperitoneal transplantation of mesothelial cells has been effective in reducing the formation of peritoneal adhesions, and in remodeling the area of mesothelial denudation. New studies on the mesothelial cell opened the way to costruction of transplantable tissue-engineered artificial peritoneum, to the utilization of mesothelial progenitor cells and to find simple metods to collect autologous mesothelial cells. Finally mesothelial trasnsplantation may represent a new neovascular therapy in the prevention and treatment of ischemic coronaric heart disease.

Abstract
Long-term exposure to peritoneal dialysis fluid induces morphological alterations, including angiogenesis, leading to a loss of ultrafiltration (UF) capacity. We discuss the effect of different factors in peritoneal dialysis (PD) on angiogenesis. In addition, we describe the process of angiogenesis and the possible role of different cell types in the peritoneum upon PD contributing to new blood vessel formation. Furthermore, we review several interventions used in our rat PD exposure model to decrease angiogenesis in PD. Moreover, we show new data on the use of sunitinib to inhibit angiogenesis in this rat model. Although various interventions seem to be promising, well-randomised clinical trials showing absolute prevention of angiogenesis and UF failure are, yet, still missing. To make real progress in PD treatment, the aim should be to prevent angiogenesis as well as peritoneal fibrosis and PD-induced inflammation.

Abstract
The present study reveals developmental changes in the number, the phenotype and the distribution pattern of mast cells (MCs) along the cervical, the thoracic and the lumbar parts of the spinal dura mater. Postnatal infiltration of spinal dura by MCs does not appear to follow a sequential developmental pattern and meningeal MCs are unevenly distributed along the various parts of the examined dura. At each spinal level, areas most densely populated by MCs are the dorsal dura and the dural sleeves of the dorsal (sensory) spinal roots The developmental time course of the total MCs number is characterized by significant fluctuations in all three parts examined, with notable increases at P1, P4, P21 and P60 (peak value) for the cervical part, at P1 (peak value), P7 and P21 for the thoracic part and at P1, P7 (peak value) and P30 for the lumbar part. At P180, MCs number declines to 56%, 33% and 13% of the peak values for the cervical, the thoracic and the lumbar part, respectively. However, a different developmental pattern is followed by each subpopulation of MCs identified on the basis of their staining characteristics, namely connective tissue type mast cells (CTMCs), mucosal type or cells with characteristics of immature mast cells (MTMCs) and mixed type MCs, in each part examined. The findings may be of importance in elucidating physiological and pathological processes in the dura mater and the vertebral column.

Abstract
It is known that both the dura and the pia mater attract and support the differentiation of mast cells. The present study shows that unevenly distributed mast cells in the cerebral meninges of the rat can be found in perivascular sites and vessel ramification points, but can also be unrelated to the meningeal vasculature. It also documents changes in the number, localization and staining preferences of the mast cells in the two meninges of the developing and mature rat brain. Quantitative examination of all types of histochemically differentiated meningeal mast cells reveals no major (although some exist) differences between right and left side subpopulations, but strongly suggests a different origin and fate of the dural and the pial mast cells. The number of dural mast cells, already high from postnatal day 0, although declining from postnatal day 21 onwards, remains conspicuous up to postnatal day 180. In contrast, pial mast cells are comparatively very few in the first day of the postnatal life, and despite a transient significant increase in the following two weeks, they reach almost zero levels from postnatal day 21.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We assumed that increased mast cell numbers contribute substantially to the fibrosis often seen in the peritoneum of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, particularly those with encapsulating peritoneal fibrosis (EPS). Therefore, we investigated mast cells in different pathological conditions of the peritoneum. METHODS One hundred fifteen tissue probes with different peritoneal pathological states were selected (normal, n = 20; chronic appendicitis, n = 25; herniotomy, n = 24; fibrosis, n = 11; PD, n = 26; and EPS, n = 9). For staining of mast cells, we used alpha-naphtol-AS-d-chloracetate-esterase and mast cell tryptase. Next, we counted numbers of mast cells per square millimeter. Tryptase was measured by using image analysis. RESULTS Measurements by means of both methods correlated well (r = 0.812). Numbers of mast cells per square millimeter were as follows: normal, 26 +/- 16; chronic appendicitis, 241 +/- 217; herniotomy, 115 +/- 88; fibrosis, 99 +/- 66; PD, 81 +/- 64, and EPS, 24 +/- 23 (P = 0.00006). Amounts of tryptase present were 2.900 +/- 0.118, 2.871 +/- 0.150, 2.733 +/- 0.183, 3.041 +/- 0.176, 2.780 +/- 0.184, and 2.609 +/- 0.234, respectively (P = 0.00002). CONCLUSION We found upregulation of mast cells in specimens of chronic inflammatory diseases of the peritoneum. This also was true for PD patients, with the exclusion of patients with EPS. Therefore, loss-of-control functions of mast cells may contribute to the ill-understood disease entity of EPS.

Abstract
CONTEXT Mast cells (MCs) have been implicated in fibrogenesis, angiogenesis, and immunity against bacteria. These 3 mechanisms participate in the peritoneal pathology secondary to peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. Despite their potential relevance to PD-related pathology, few studies have focused on MCs. OBJECTIVE To evaluate possible variations in the number of MCs during PD treatment. DESIGN A quantitative study of tissue MCs in normal and pathologic peritoneum. Parietal peritoneal biopsies were collected from 4 groups: (1) normal controls (n = 9), (2) uremic non-PD patients (n = 16), (3) uremic patients on PD (n = 26), and (4) non-renal patients with inguinal hernia (n = 20). MCs were evaluated using immunohistochemistry for the detection of tryptase. The total number of cross sections of vessels per peritoneal field was examined in 22 of the 26 peritoneal biopsies of PD patients. RESULTS PD tissue samples showed fibrosis, mesothelial cell loss, and variable hyalinizing vasculopathy. The number of MCs was similar in normal controls and non-PD uremic patients (mean +/- SE: 7.13 +/- 0.67 and 7.74 +/- 0.74 MCs/mm2, respectively). Peritoneal dialysis patients showed a reduction (4 +/- 0.38 MCs/mm2, P < .001), whereas hernia sac samples showed an increase (10.59 +/- 3.48 MCs/mm2). MC reduction showed no correlation with time on dialysis, fibrosis, number of vessels, or previous episodes of peritonitis. CONCLUSIONS The peritoneum of patients receiving PD treatment shows a reduction of MCs. Despite such a reduction, fibrosis takes place, suggesting that MCs do not play a critical role in fibrosis genesis. Mast cell loss may be a contributory factor to peritonitis episodes in PD patients.
