Helminth-derived molecules improve 5-fluorouracil treatment on experimental colon tumorigenesis. Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 175:116628.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent fatal neoplasias worldwide. Despite efforts to improve the early diagnosis of CRC, the mortality rate of patients is still nearly 50%. The primary treatment strategy for CRC is surgery, which may be accompanied by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The conventional and first-line chemotherapeutic agent utilized is 5-fluorouracil (5FU). However, it has low efficiency. Combination treatment with leucovorin and oxaliplatin or irinotecan improves the effectiveness of 5FU therapy. Unfortunately, most patients develop drug resistance, leading to disease progression. Here, we evaluated the effect of a potential alternative adjuvant treatment for 5FU, helminth-derived Taenia crassiceps (TcES) molecules, on treating advanced colitis-associated colon cancer. The use of TcES enhanced the effects of 5FU on established colonic tumors by downregulating the expression of the immunoregulatory cytokines, Il-10 and Tgf-β, and proinflammatory cytokines, Tnf-α and Il-17a, and reducing the levels of molecular markers associated with malignancy, cyclin D1, and Ki67, both involved in apoptosis inhibition and the signaling pathway of β-catenin. TcES+5FU therapy promoted NK cell recruitment and the release of Granzyme B1 at the tumor site, consequently inducing tumor cell death. Additionally, it restored P53 activity which relates to decreased Mdm2 expression. In vitro assays with human colon cancer cell lines showed that therapy with TcES+5FU significantly reduced cell proliferation and migration by modulating the P53 and P21 signaling pathways. Our findings demonstrate, for the first time in vivo, that helminth-derived excreted/secreted products may potentiate the effect of 5FU on established colon tumors.

Analysis of IL-17A, IL-17F, and miR-146a-5p Prior to Transplantation and Their Role in Kidney Transplant Recipients. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2920. [PMID: 38792460 PMCID: PMC11122464 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: The balance between regulatory and Th17 cells plays an important role in maintaining the immune tolerance after kidney transplantation (KTx) which is essential for transplantation success, defined as a long graft survival and an absence of organ rejection. The present study aimed to assess whether the pretransplant characteristics of IL-17A and IL-17F, their receptors, as well as miR-146a-5p, an miRNA associated with IL-17A/F regulation, can predict KTx outcomes. Methods: A group of 108 pre-KTx dialysis patients and 125 healthy controls were investigated for single nucleotide substitutions within genes coding for IL-17A, IL-17F, their IL-17RA/RC receptors, and miR-146a-5p. Genotyping was performed using LightSNiP assays. In addition, IL17-A/F serum concentrations were determined using ELISA while miR-146a-5p expression was analyzed by RT-PCR. Results: The IL-17F (rs763780) G allele prevailed in KTx recipients as compared to healthy individuals (OR = 23.59, p < 0.0001) and was associated with a higher IL-17F serum level (p = 0.0381) prior to transplantation. Higher miR-146a-5p expression before KTx was more frequently detected in recipients with an increased IL-17A serum concentration (p = 0.0177). Moreover, IL-17A (rs2275913) GG homozygosity was found to be associated with an increased incidence of deaths before KTx (OR = 4.17, p = 0.0307). T-cell or acute rejection episodes were more frequently observed among patients with the C allele of miR-146a-5p (rs2910164) (OR = 5.38, p = 0.0531). IL17-RA/-RC genetic variants (p < 0.05) seem to be associated with eGFR values. Conclusions: These results imply that IL-17F (rs763780) polymorphism is associated with the serum level of this cytokine and may be related to the risk of renal disease and transplant rejection together with miR-146a-5p (rs2910164), while the IL-17A (rs2275913) genotype may affect patients' survival before KTx.

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.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective alternative treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is increasingly being adopted and promoted worldwide. However, as the duration of peritoneal dialysis extends, it can expose problems with dialysis inadequacy and ultrafiltration failure. The exact mechanism and aetiology of ultrafiltration failure have been of great concern, with triggers such as biological incompatibility of peritoneal dialysis solutions, uraemia toxins, and recurrent intraperitoneal inflammation initiating multiple pathways that regulate the release of various cytokines, promote the transcription of fibrosis-related genes, and deposit extracellular matrix. As a result, peritoneal fibrosis occurs. Exploring the pathogenic factors and molecular mechanisms can help us prevent peritoneal fibrosis and prolong the duration of Peritoneal dialysis.

Abstract
Evidence suggests that IL-17, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, suppresses tumor carcinogenesis; therefore, the use of IL-17 inhibitors accelerates carcinoma growth. We present a case of a perimenopausal female who was diagnosed with synchronous primary ovarian and endometrial endometrioid carcinoma following the use of secukinumab, a monoclonal antibody against IL-17. After eight months of secukinumab, she developed progressive vaginal bleeding, left upper quadrant pain, and abdominal distention. CT imaging displayed a large abdominal mass, and biopsies produced the diagnosis. It is proposed that by inhibiting IL-17, carcinogenesis was expedited. This case highlights a relationship between secukinumab and accelerated carcinogenesis. Consequently, due to the incidence of endometrial carcinoma and the morbidity rate of ovarian carcinoma, individuals taking IL-17 inhibitors may need prophylactic screening and close monitoring.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Two decades ago, the common co-existence of malnutrition and systemic inflammation PD patients with atherosclerosis and CVD led to the proposed terminology of 'malnutrition-inflammation-atherosclerosis (MIA) syndrome'. Although the importance of malnutrition is well accepted, frailty represents a more comprehensive assessment of the physical and functional capability of the patient and encompasses the contributions of sarcopenia (a key component of malnutrition), obesity, cardiopulmonary as well as neuropsychiatric impairment. In recent years, it is also increasingly recognized that fluid overload is not only the consequence but also play an important role in the pathogenesis of CVD. Moreover, fluid overload is closely linked with the systemic inflammatory status, presumably by gut oedema, gastrointestinal epithelial barrier dysfunction and leakage of bacterial fragments to the systemic circulation. There are now a wealth of published evidence to show intricate relations between frailty, inflammation, fluid overload and atherosclerotic disease in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and those on PD, a phenomenon that we propose the term 'FIFA complex'. In this system, frailty and atherosclerotic disease may be regarded as two patient-oriented outcomes, while inflammation and fluid overload are two inter-connected pathogenic processes. However, there remain limited data on how the treatment of one component affect the others. It is also important to define how treatment of fluid overload affect the systemic inflammatory status and to develop effective anti-inflammatory strategies that could alleviate atherosclerotic disease and frailty.

Abstract
Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6)/soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) promotes peritoneal angiogenesis by stimulating SP4-mediated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) production in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Moreover, histone methyltransferase enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2) is involved in IL-6/sIL-6R signalling via the acceleration of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-induced angiogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism underlying how EZH2 epigenetically activates VFGF expression in IL-6/sIL-6R signalling during PD is still unclear. Methods and Results: In this study, we measured the expression of EZH2, DNMT3B and SP4 in human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) treated with IL-6/sIL-6R stimulation and/or EZH2 overexpression, silencing or inhibition. Methylation of the CpG site in the SP4 promoter region and VEGF production were measured under these treatments in HPMCs. Moreover, tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was detected following treatment with conditioned media from these stimulated HPMCs. The 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6Nx) rat model was established, and the rats were injected with peritoneal dialysate. EZH2, DNMT3B and SP4 expression and microvessels were analysed in 5/6Nx + PD rats treated with IL-6/sIL-6R and EZH2 overexpression. The results showed that IL-6/sIL-6R and EZH2 overexpression enhanced the expression of EZH2, DNMT3B and SP4, but EZH2 silencing/inhibition reduced these expression levels. The results for VEGF production and tube formation in vitro followed the same trend. IL-6/sIL-6R and EZH2 overexpression increased the methylation percentage of the -170 bp CpG site in the SP4 promoter region in HPMCs. Moreover, IL-6/sIL-6R and EZH2 overexpression stimulated EZH2, DNMT3B and SP4 expression and promoted angiogenesis in 5/6Nx + PD rats. Conclusions: Thus, this study indicated that EZH2 is involved in IL-6/sIL-6R signalling and epigenetically regulates SP4 expression, thereby stimulating VEGF production and angiogenesis in PD. Targeting EZH2 is expected to be a novel therapeutic approach for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with PD treatment.

Angiogenic Role of Mesothelium-Derived Chemokine CXCL1 During Unfavorable Peritoneal Tissue Remodeling in Patients Receiving Peritoneal Dialysis as Renal Replacement Therapy. Front Immunol 2022; 13:821681. [PMID: 35185912 PMCID: PMC8854359 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.821681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a valuable ‘home treatment’ option, even more so during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. However, the long-term use of PD is limited by unfavourable tissue remodelling in the peritoneal membrane, which is associated with inflammation-induced angiogenesis. This appears to be driven primarily through vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), while the involvement of other angiogenic signaling pathways is still poorly understood. Here, we have identified the crucial contribution of mesothelial cell-derived angiogenic CXC chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1) to peritoneal angiogenesis in PD. CXCL1 expression and peritoneal microvessel density were analysed in biopsies obtained by the International Peritoneal Biobank (NCT01893710 at www.clinicaltrials.gov), comparing 13 children with end-stage kidney disease before initiating PD to 43 children on chronic PD. The angiogenic potential of mesothelial cell-derived CXCL1 was assessed in vitro by measuring endothelial tube formation of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs) treated with conditioned medium from human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) stimulated to release CXCL1 by treatment with either recombinant IL-17 or PD effluent. We found that the capillary density in the human peritoneum correlated with local CXCL1 expression. Both CXCL1 expression and microvessel density were higher in PD patients than in the age-matched patients prior to initiation of PD. Exposure of HMECs to recombinant CXCL1 or conditioned medium from IL-17-stimulated HPMCs resulted in increased endothelial tube formation, while selective inhibition of mesothelial CXCL1 production by specific antibodies or through silencing of relevant transcription factors abolished the proangiogenic effect of HPMC-conditioned medium. In conclusion, peritoneal mesothelium-derived CXCL1 promotes endothelial tube formation in vitro and associates with peritoneal microvessel density in uremic patients undergoing PD, thus providing novel targets for therapeutic intervention to prolong PD therapy.

Impact of Metabolomics Technologies on the Assessment of Peritoneal Membrane Profiles in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients: A Systematic Review. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12020145. [PMID: 35208219 PMCID: PMC8879920 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12020145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective and frequent dialysis modality in adults, particularly preferred in infants and young children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Long-term exposure of the peritoneal membrane to dialysis solutions results in severe morphologic and functional alterations. Peritoneal dialysis effluent biomarkers are based on omics technologies, which could predict the onset or confirm the diagnosis of peritoneal membrane dysfunction, would allow the development of accurate early prognostic tools and, potentially, the identification of future therapeutic targets. The purpose of our study was to critically review the literature on the impact and the effectiveness of metabolomics technologies in peritoneal health. The main search was performed in electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) from inception to December 2020, using various combinations of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). The main search highlighted nine studies, of which seven were evaluated in detail. Metabolomics technologies may provide significant input in the recognition of peritoneal membrane dysfunction in PD patients and provide evidence of early intervention strategies that could protect peritoneum health and function.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. However, its complications, such as peritoneal fibrosis (PF) and angiogenesis can cause ultrafiltration failure and PD termination. Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has been demonstrated to be involved in PF. However, its underlying role in peritoneal angiogenesis is still unknown and clinical value needs to be explored. In this study, we analyzed the expression of HDAC6 in the peritoneum from patients with non-PD and PD-related peritonitis and dialysis effluent from stable PD patients. Our study revealed that HDAC6 expressed highly in the peritoneum with peritonitis and co-stained with α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), a biomarker of the myofibroblast. And the level of HDAC6 in the dialysate increased with time and positively correlated with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and negatively with cancer antigen 125 (CA125). In vitro, blockading HDAC6 with a selective inhibitor tubastatin A (TA) or silencing HDAC6 with a small interfering RNA (siRNA) prominently decreased IL-6-stimulated VEGF expression in cultured human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs), and inhibited proliferation and vasoformation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). TA or HDAC6 siRNA also suppressed the expression of Wnt1, β-catenin, and the phosphorylation of STAT3 in IL-6-treated HPMCs. In summary, HDAC6 inhibition protects against PD-induced angiogenesis through suppression of IL-6/STAT3 and Wnt1/β-catenin signaling pathway, subsequently reducing the VEGF production and angiogenesis. It could become a new therapeutic target or forecast biomarker for PF, inflammation, and angiogenesis in the future.

Abstract
Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by cells of the immune system, predominantly Th17 and γδ lymphocytes. In this paper, we review the role of IL-17A in the pathogenesis of hypertension and in target organ damage. Preclinical studies in mice have shown that systemic adminstration of IL-17A increases blood pressure, probably by acting on multiple levels. Furthermore, IL-17A plasma concentrations are already elevated in patients with mild or moderate hypertension. Many studies in hypertensive mice models have detected IL-17A-producing cells in target organs such as the heart, vessels and kidneys. Patients with hypertensive nephrosclerosis show kidney infiltration by Th17 lymphocytes and γδ lymphocytes that express IL-17A. In addition, in experimental models of hypertension, the blockade of IL-17A by genetic strategies or using neutralizing antibodies, disminished blood pressure, probablyby acting on the small mesenteric arteries as well as in the regulation of tubule sodium transport. Moreover, IL-17A inhibition reduces end-organs damage. As a whole, the data presented in this review suggest that IL-17A participates in the regulation of blood pressure and in the genesis and maintenance of arterial hypertension, and may constitute a therapeutic target of hypertension-related pathologies in the future.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an important renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal diseases, which is limited by peritoneal neoangiogenesis leading to ultrafiltration failure (UFF). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors are key angiogenic factors involved in almost every step of peritoneal neoangiogenesis. Impaired mesothelial cells are the major sources of VEGF in the peritoneum. The expression of VEGF will be up-regulated in specific pathological conditions in PD patients, such as with non-biocompatible peritoneal dialysate, uremia and inflammation, and so on. Other working cells (i.e. vascular endothelial cells, macrophages and adipocytes) can also stimulate the secretion of VEGF. Meanwhile, hypoxia and activation of complement system further aggravate peritoneal injury and contribute to neoangiogenesis. There are several signalling pathways participating in VEGF-mediated peritoneal neoangiogenesis including tumour growth factor-β, Wnt/β-catenin, Notch and interleukin-6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3. Moreover, VEGF is highly expressed in dialysate effluent of long-term PD patients and is associated with peritoneal transport function, which supports its role in the alteration of peritoneal structure and function. In this review, we systematically summarize the angiogenic effect of VEGF and evaluate it as a potential target for the prevention of peritoneal neoangiogenesis and UFF. Preservation of the peritoneal membrane using targeted therapy of VEGF-mediated peritoneal neoangiogenesis may increase the longevity of the PD modality for those who require life-long dialysis.

Abstract
Peritoneal fibrosis is characterized by abnormal production of extracellular matrix proteins leading to progressive thickening of the submesothelial compact zone of the peritoneal membrane. This process may be caused by a number of insults including pathological conditions linked to clinical practice, such as peritoneal dialysis, abdominal surgery, hemoperitoneum, and infectious peritonitis. All these events may cause acute/chronic inflammation and injury to the peritoneal membrane, which undergoes progressive fibrosis, angiogenesis, and vasculopathy. Among the cellular processes implicated in these peritoneal alterations is the generation of myofibroblasts from mesothelial cells and other cellular sources that are central in the induction of fibrosis and in the subsequent functional deterioration of the peritoneal membrane. Myofibroblast generation and activity is actually integrated in a complex network of extracellular signals generated by the various cellular types, including leukocytes, stably residing or recirculating along the peritoneal membrane. Here, the main extracellular factors and the cellular players are described with emphasis on the cross-talk between immune system and cells of the peritoneal stroma. The understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying fibrosis of the peritoneal membrane has both a basic and a translational relevance, since it may be useful for setup of therapies aimed at counteracting the deterioration as well as restoring the homeostasis of the peritoneal membrane.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) employs hypertonic glucose to remove excess water and uremic waste. Peritoneal membrane failure limits its long-term use. T-cell cytokines promote this decline. T-cell differentiation is critically determined by the microenvironment. We here study how PD-range hypertonic glucose regulates T-cell polarization and IL-17 production. In the human peritoneal cavity, CD3+ cell numbers increased in PD. Single cell RNA sequencing detected expression of T helper (Th) 17 signature genes RORC and IL23R. In vitro, PD-range glucose stimulated spontaneous and amplified cytokine-induced Th17 polarization. Osmotic controls l-glucose and d-mannose demonstrate that induction of IL-17A is a substance-independent, tonicity dose-dependent process. PD-range glucose upregulated glycolysis and increased the proportion of dysfunctional mitochondria. Blockade of reactive-oxygen species (ROS) prevented IL-17A induction in response to PD-range glucose. Peritoneal mesothelium cultured with IL-17A or IL17F produced pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, CCL2, and CX3CL1. In PD patients, peritoneal IL-17A positively correlated with CX3CL1 concentrations. PD-range glucose-stimulated, but neither identically treated Il17a-/- Il17f-/- nor T cells cultured with the ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine enhanced mesothelial CX3CL1 expression. Our data delineate PD-range hypertonic glucose as a novel inducer of Th17 polarization in a mitochondrial-ROS-dependent manner. Modulation of tonicity-mediated effects of PD solutions may improve membrane survival.

IL-17A as a Potential Therapeutic Target for Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10101361.

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
INTRODUCTION Encapsulating peritonitis is a rare but severe chronic fibrotic condition related to the development of a white fibrous membrane surrounding the digestive tract. Idiopathic forms have been described, however the disease is most often secondary to peritoneal dialysis or more rarely to surgery. Treatment is difficult and not codified. CASE REPORT We report here the observation of a 36-year-old patient whose diagnosis of encapsulating peritonitis was made after a long sub-occlusive history, eight years after a gastric ulcer perforation. DISCUSSION We discuss the possible etiologies and we present a focus on this rare and little-known entity.
