Glucose degradation products induce arteriolar endothelial tight junction disintegration and apoptosis, and accelerate vasculopathy in children with chronic kidney disease
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Cardiovasculopathy is the leading cause of death; patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at particularly high risk. The pathophysiological role of accumulating reactive metabolites in CKD such as glucose degradation products (GDP) is uncertain. Large amounts of GDP are absorbed from conventional dialysis fluids in patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD). Omental and parietal peritoneal tissues were obtained from 107 pediatric patients with CKD5 and 90 children on PD using dialysis fluids containing low and high concentrations of GDP, respectively. Fat surrounded omental arterioles, protected from local PD fluid exposure, were microdissected for transcriptome and proteome analyses.
